A translating body rescue hoist (10) includes a fixed frame (18) and a carrier (26) supported by the fixed frame (18). The carrier rides on bearings such that the carrier is capable of reciprocating relative to the fixed frame (18). The carrier supports a cable drum (28) and a level wind (32) mechanism. A drivetrain (42) is mounted within the cable drum (28) and driven by a motor (40) mounted to the carrier. The drivetrain (42) drives the cable drum (28), and the level wind (32) mechanism is driven off the cable drum (28). As the cable drum (28) rotates, a cable (46) is fed off of the drum and through a fixed payout point. A follower (22) is fixed to the frame (18) and interlocked with the level wind (32) mechanism such that rotating the level wind mechanism drives the carriage in a reciprocating manner. The level wind (32) mechanism is self-reversing allowing the stationary frame to reciprocate while the level wind (32) mechanism is rotated in a single direction.
