Polipasto/Cabrestante
Explanation:
Para esta traducción he utilizado "polipasto tipo come-along", porque el come-along es un polipasto manual, el polipasto es lo mismo pero hay diferentes tipos, así que si deseas ser específica puedes utilizar la primera opción o simplemente utilizar polipasto.

También puedes usar polipasto de cadena o polipasto manual.

El come-along es un polipasto manual.
