Winches normally lift around ~1,000x their weight if you ignore the cable weight. Considering these don't include the cable's weight and are really slow it's far less impressive than you might think.

Granted, the fist time you see a car lifted off the ground by a dinky 1.5 hp motor it does seem crazy.
