It isn't suitable for vertical lifting....why??

I can report a resounding success after buying this winch - I have fitted the winch to a wheelchair car hoist that had a busted 12v electric motor nylon gearing (Very poor design)...Removed the electric motor and actuating arm and fitted the winch in it's place...two bolts to the baseplate and it was all done - the winch lifts an electric wheelchair (88kilo) into the car without any hesitation and with easy effortless winding - the wheelchair is lifted three times faster than the time it took the electric motor - incidentally, the makers of the car hoist had quoted £300 + to renew the stripped nylon gear - I have rescued the hoist with a modest outlay by buying this winch....Fantastic piece of gear...it's saved the day for us. Well Pleased.

Could the cable be easily replaced with a washing line? And would it then allow the line to be pulled out, clipped on, and taughtened by the winch? Ta

A washing line isn't strong enough and would break but what I would advise is to buy any length that you require of 50 mm nylon webbing which is similar to your car seat belt and has over a ton breaking strain and because its 50mm it will not tangle and is kind to your hands. Then find a hook that you can stitch on to pull whatever you've got.

Does it have auto stop, when unwinding would it stop if it was let go? Thanks

No it doesn't if you thinking of some sort of dead man lever. It only has a rachet preventing it unwinding when pulling things.

Can I reverse the side of the handle on, do you sell with the handle on the other side or will it work OK if i mount the other way up?

No it is not possible to reverse the handle and I can't see any other way to mount it to do what you want. Sorry!
