Winches are great just took a long time to get



by:

This is a very well built and solid winch. It is exactly what I was looking for in my application. I put it on a log arch I had welded together to lift some pretty heavy logs, and it does so with ease. The hand brake comes in very handy, and works amazingly well.



by:

Excellent. High quality. I use it to crank up my ham radio tower.



by:

I have a sailboat that I replaced the winch I use to raise and lower the 700lb swing keel. I bought this winch hoping the upgrade in lifting capacity would help. It makes a huge difference. I have to be honest, it has been so nice to use. My old winch had a little lever on it to choose the direction it would go if crancked. This new winch goes up when cranked one way and down when cranked the other. I don't have to take time to set the direction lever. The best part is when I"m lowering the keel, I just have to stop cranking and the automatic breake takes it and holds it where ever I stop. I sail up around the San Juan islands where the tide fluctuates 15 feet or more and its important that I can react quickly when I need too so I gave 5 stars.



by:

Solid product! Used it on my boat lift, threads and set up for the brake to work with my wheel was a challenge because the threads on my wheel are 7/8ths, threads on the shaft of winch are 5/8ths and an off set so the brake works with the handle it comes with. That being said, I fabricated up some parts and it works great. Very strong and sturdy and the cable I bought works wonderfully. Shipping was very fast and packaged good. 2nd time I have bought something through this company and I will do it again in a second if and when the need arrives. Great company, great customer based service. Thank you for your great service, other companies need to follow your model. If they do, they will be extremely successful!



by:

Product worked out really great thank you



by:

The order and shipment was very timely which was nice. There was not nearly enough info about the product on website, size, dimensions, etc. when package was delivered after hours at an unattended site the box was torn open on one end and pars appeared to be missing….
I’ve already gone to a [online] store and bought a better winch. I’ll put the one from y’all in my junk bin….

My review- is based on the fact that I am a 25+ year maintenance engineer, that I had replaced my Fulton brake winch with a different manufacturer. I had great concerns due to the fact that all I could use was the Dutton-Lainson info. the company provided and we all know that sometimes that is not what we end up with. Well after ordering then receiving the product in just a few days, We then installed and found out that it worked better then what was perviously installed. I am more then just pleased- more then 100% pleased! Great Product, Great Price, Great Delivery Time- no run around! Wow! - Please keep up the good work- America needs more companies like you. You are setting a high Bench Mark for others to follow. Thank You!



by:

Received my DL15721 winch VERY, VERY! fast.

I installed it on my U.S.TOWER TX-455 crank-up antenna tower. The lower attachement bolt holes where 1/16 inch too close together, but had little trouble making them work. Winch works well lifting my tri- bander and 2 meter Amateur antennas.
Only trouble, was attaching the cable to the drum as instructed ,The cable keeper is small-----or maybe my cabel is large but I got the issue taken care of. Anyway, the winch works extremely well as a replacement for the old K1550 winch , and is much easier to operate.
THANKS TO EVERYONE at ETRAILER. Service could not have been BETTER!
(will be back for any future needs)

the product is OK but i'm having a issue with the handle wearing out after a short time of use. can i order parts for this winch?

Mark, Thank you for your review. The replacement handle for Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs is part # DL70310.



by:

etrailer was great ! Product arrived a day early was exactly as advertised and installed easily. A couple of emails along the way confirming the order, confirming delivery and checking to make sure all was right were great. Will order from them again.

E trailer is the best place for trailer hardware!



by:

Didnt get the brake winch i ordered, but etrailer found a replacement that i think will work and they shipped it out right away.



by:

Great winch, fast shipping



by:

Better build quality than the two other brands I have used. Dutton-Lainson seems to be a good brand. eTrailer shipped the package on time at a good price.



by:

Thank you etrailer for making my shopping experience the easiest I've had in a while.
I'll send pics once our Fabrication of the Housing is complete...



by:

UPS lost one of my packages & etrailer.com was able to ship me another item, without any problem, so there wouldn't be any further delay.



by:

The winch arrived at my door very quickly. I installed the winch on one of my boat lifts. It installed with no trouble. The winch raises and lowers the lift with ease.



by:

The cable retainer on the drum that was supplied was a joke. We had to make a new retainer with stronger bolt to attach the cable. About an hours work.



by:

Impressive shipping and timely delivery. Product met and exceeded my expectations. Built well and made in USA. etrailer.com will get more of my business for sure.



by:

Excellent winch, easily mounted, only drawback is that it is very slow due to the gearing. Lifts 2500 lbs with ease.



by:

Took along time to get was out of stock

If out of stock should not be listed until it is in stock. Just my opinion

  • Heavy Duty Brake Winch for 2200 lb Pontoon Boat on Scissor Lift Trailer
    Although we don't offer a 2 speed winch that has a brake, the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL15721 would meet all the rest of the parameters you listed. The winch will automatically hold the load when the handle is released, which means you won't need to hold the crank while fumbling around for the spool lever. The jack has a 2500 lb capacity, and would work well for your pontoon. The # FWC7500100 galvanized cable you'd looked at would...

  • Winch Recommendation for 24 Foot Long Pontoon Boat that Has Auto Brake
    When picking out a boat trailer winch in general the ratio of weight capacity to boat weight is 2:1 and most 24 foot pontoons like yours are 1,200 lb so you could pretty easily get a way with a 600 lb winch. But if you have a long winching distance and wooden bunks the ratio goes to right at 1:1. That said, the higher rated the winch the easier is to handle, and since you want an auto brake I'd highly recommend the very high quality and easy to use Dutton Lainson Winch you mentioned part...

  • Recommended Winch for Loading Cars On and Off of a Flat Bed Trailer
    Pulling cars onto a trailer will undoubtedly require pulling the vehicle up an incline, which will add extra resistance to the equation. If you are pulling a rolling load, not dragging the car and no flat tires, up just a slight incline like a 3 degree slope the weight capacity of the winch can be multiplied by 6.67 times, see hand winch article, Winching on an Incline, which I have linked for you to review. A steeper incline causes more resistance and reduces the rolling load capacity...

  • Reverse Function on the Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch Self-Locking - 2500 Pounds
    The Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch, # DL15721, you have does not have a freewheel option. This winch uses an automatic friction brake to prevent runaway loads. This means you will have to turn the handle counter clockwise to unwind the cable from the winch. We carry the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Winch, # F142412, that is around the same capacity as your winch and has a neutral, freewheeling option.

  • Manual Winch Recommendation for Landscape Trailer
    For your manual crank winch to load your mower I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Hex Drive - 2,000 lbs # DL11004 which will allow you to use a 5/8 inch socket with a drill attachment or the included socket-head handle. I recommend using the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, 2" Wide x 20' Long - 4,000 lbs. # DL24242 with this winch. If you prefer a sidewind option I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake # DL15721. I've attached some videos to...

    I would be happy to help you find the correct hand winch to replace the damaged electric winch on your 2012 Forest River Premier Pop-Up Camper, but we have not had a chance to do this conversion so you will need to compare the mounting pattern of your existing winch to the hand winch to make sure they will bolt up the same.

    The Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch - Cable Only - 2,500 lbs # F143201 is the replacement for the K2550 you mentioned, so I can't recommend either width strap with this winch. If you want to use a strap with a winch of similar size, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch with TUFFPLATE Finish, Self-Locking - 2,500 lbs. # DL15721 along with the Fulton Heavy-Duty Winch Strap with Hook - 20' x 2" - 10,000 lbs # FWS20HD0200.

  • Recommended Winch To Use For a Boat Lift
    I do have a winch that could be used as a boat lift, but the item you selected, Dutton-Lainson hand winch # DL15440, would not be a good option as it is not a brake winch. A brake winch will stop the load and hold it in place if you were to let go of the handle when winching. For use as a boat lift, I would recommend the Dutton-Lainson brake winch # DL15721. This winch is designed for multipurpose uses including boat lifts. If you will need a larger capacity brake winch, we also offer...

    I spoke with my contact at one of our winch suppliers. They told me that for the use you described and for a single davit used on a boat lift the best winch would be a brake winch. Depending on the weight of the boat you have the brake winch I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Self-Locking Brake Winch, part # DL15721. This winch has a 2,500 lb weigh capacity and has a fully automatic brake meaning the load stays in place even when the handle is released. This winch can handle up to 34 ft of...

    The Shelby Trailer Winch 5409B is a single speed brake hand winch with a 2,100 lb capacity. It was discontinued some time ago. In order to replace this winch I recommend using the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch part # DL15721. The Dutton-Lainson winch has an automatic brake for safety, zinc coating for protection, and 2,500 lb capacity. If you also need a new wire rope to go with this winch I recommend the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook part # DL24102. I have attached a review video of...

    Hey Bret thanks for the pictures. We do have a potential solution for you, but unfortunately there is no repair kit that we can offer you, nor is there a direct replacement for this winch. For the most part it appears to be a fairly standard 2,000 lb rated hand winch. The handle and handle extension are not something that we commonly see on these hand winches. It almost looks like the handle extension was fabricated to fit this setup possibly. It is hard to say for sure, but what I can...

  • Replacement Winch for Dutton Lainson DL2500A
    The Dutton Lainson winch part # DL15721 is the same as the DL2500A that you have now and has an automatic brake. This would work well for you as a replacement. Typically when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio of boat trailer weight to winch capacity needed is 2 to 1 meaning that for a 4,000 lb boat like you have the minimum capacity needed would be 2,000 lbs. Since this has 2,500 lbs of capacity it would be a little more than needed which means it would be easier to crank...

  • Trailer Winch Recommendations for Pulling a 2500 Pound Tractor on to a Trailer
    The Hand winch you selected, Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch # DL15721, would be a great choice as long as your 2,500 lb tractor will always be a rolling load, and the angle of the ramps on the trailer will not be too steep. This winch can use the 20 foot strap, # DL24251, or the 25 foot cable, # DL24102. If you need to move the tractor when not rolling, flat tire or some other mishap, I recommend using a winch with at least 5,000 lb capacity. A winch like this is only available in an electric...

  • Winch Recommendations for a 2,250 lb Boat
    Generally speaking to boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good roller and short winching distances the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but if you have long winching distances and wooden bunks the ratio is 1 to 1. Lets say you fit the typical setup and the ratio would be 2 to 1 the Pro Series Hand Winch # PSKR10000301 would not have the capacity as it would only have 2,000 lbs of capacity with this ratio and you would need 2,250 lbs.

    The 1500 lb capacity Dutton-Lainson # DL10770 you'd looked at would work well if the total weight of the PWC AND the portion of the lift its lifting weighs less than its 1500 lb capacity. When it comes to winches, I'll always recommend going with a winch that has a higher capacity than you actually need like the Dutton-Lainson # DL15721 which has a 2500 lb capacity. The winch will provide an extra margin of safety and because the winch won't work so hard, it'll actually last longer. The...
