An adjustable winch hanger is provided to mount and support a winch in midair or another location in order to lift objects such as pipes or the like to an appropriate height for installation. A plurality of bolt-receiving channels are connected to a main body and oriented laterally. A plurality of bolts, wedge bolts in particular, are positioned into the bolt-receiving channels. A rod channel runs vertically through the bolt-receiving channels to receive a vertically-oriented rod to which to affix the winch hanger. A tightening mechanism is engaged with the plurality of bolts and configured to axially displace the bolts within the bolt-receiving channels in order to tighten the bolts against the vertically-oriented rod. A center bolt is threadedly engaged with a threaded collar, which is connected to a tie bar, which is connected to the plurality of wedge bolts, ensuring the wedge bolts are laterally aligned with each other.
