If the winch was worm driven with the typical reduction ratio that most have, you would be able to move some pretty heavy stuff with a simple hand crank. You would never get close to the rating of the winch though. And then, if you were moving something more than just a few feet, heavy or light, it would take a LOT of cranking.
The idea seems impractical unless that is the only option available. Sometimes we make due with what we have...
