The winch was used to winch up and down the cages carrying carts, ore and miners. In the last part of the shaft there was a room with a second winch, which only carried the carts. The system was initially controlled by two workers: a winchman standing opposite the shaft and a cage operator inside. Later, thanks to a hydraulic system, the controls began to be managed by a single person in the outdoor area. The winch operator moved the cages to let his companions get off and to bring up the trolleys with the minerals. Pozzo Gal's winch was a two-drum Savigliano with a power of 140 Hp.
