can it work in both directions? for example: if I want to lower something and then pull it back up?

I don't know if I can help with this, but you can flip the switch to release the gear which allows the winch to release the strap....but you'd better have hold of the handle or it will spin freely. The winch is a good size and the handle as well. I have a 21 foot bass boat and I have no problem loading the boat even if the trailer isn't far enough in the water. And for unloading a boat, as long as you are careful and have control of the handle, I don't see an issue....but there is nothing to stop the winch if you take your hand off the handle...if that's what you're asking.

No. This unit works in one direction only. You could actually lower something, but there is no ratchet for that direction, so you would have to be able to handle all the force by hand.

I have no idea. I never could find a definitive answer anywhere. Even the box doesn't state which side is up. I used mine both ways and I honestly never noticed a difference either way.

Is solid and can be reversed to give you the lift you need. I did it and it work great.

Yes, pull up, rotate then push down. That is even if you mount the base vertically or horrizontally.

I tried it today for about 5 minutes and yes it can be turned in both directions. It will give you a workout either way you use it. However, is it recommended or will it do any damage in the long run, i can not answer that.

Yes, it can be adjusted in both directions and it is easy to do. You simply lift up on the footbar and move it forward/backward until it aligns with the notch and drop it back in place.

There is an exposed screw on the bottom which you would see if you turned it the other way. Not sure whether it would have any impact on the functionality.

Yes, you can reverse both at the same time or just one at a time. You don't have to take it out of the window.

Yes- it goes adjust-both from low to high - & from left to right- (independantly- of course!) you can also only have 1 side on. (Your choice...)

Yes I have never tried to raise one side all the way without raising the other some what. It really works great and stays in place really good.

Yes, I also have up/down lights and it works for both. The light switch has a "rocker" function, press the upper half for up lights, lower half for down lights.

Yes it can. My installation is not straight up and down, it was a bit diagonal but it worked.

Not that I am aware of. The screw top center does the up and down and the 1 on the side does the left to right. I am not sure about the 2 on back

twist it 90 degrees and pull up, you may have t twist it back and forth while pulling up.

Hi, I use mine to pull horizontally - no problem. If I was to use it for heavy downward pulling, I'd mount it upside-down, but I'm quite sure there would be no problem mounting it either way.

Yes it can be configured to flip EITHER left or right, not both at the same time.

Yes it works. I could tilt it to go left and right. And I did went up by accident. But I really didn't know how to go down. Obviously I'm not a gamer...
