Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake - Cable Only - Zinc - 3,700 lbs - F142430

Average Customer Rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars   (19 Customer Reviews)

Durable winch has 2 speeds - 1 for quick pull in, the other for greater mechanical advantage when pulling heavier items. Corrosion-resistant zinc finish. For use with cable only (FWC7500100 - sold separately). Handbrake included.

by:

Winch is very heavy duty and well coated with zinc. Handle can be removed and inserted in the low or high speed with a push of a button. Great winch. However,the brake lever is in a bag with a few hardware parts which must be assembled to the winch. I thought the brake lever would already be assembled to the winch. The e-clip (or wave washer as the instructions call it) that holds the brake lever in place broke when trying to clip it on. I had to run to an auto parts store 10 miles away to buy a new e-clip as I was in the middle of installation. If the brake lever had already been installed I would have given the winch five stars.

These 3700 lb winches work great. Both winches were installed on my slip dock where the cables go to shore to hold slip in place. Much easier now to bring the dock in to shore when the water comes up or down in this reservoir. My lake neighbors are all jealous!

heavy duty winch, handle easy to crank.

After a year of outdoor exposure, winches are still functioning well, easy to crank.



by:

Really like the product it’s heavy duty and built well going to work great for pulling My jeeps up on the car hauler just in case something breaks while Fourwheelin I have the option to use the winch. I built a nice strong mounting plate for it and works wonderful. Did not even have to use the low gearing to crank the jeep up on the car hauler



by:

Part we needed was in stock and arrived quickly once ordered.



by:

works good



by:

The winch has worked as expected. We use this winch to get disabled cars, trucks and tractors onto a trailer. Two speeds are useful when winching up a non powered unit.



by:

I just mounted it looks good I'll send you an update soon



by:

Our last ones were made in the USA. These r made in China. Great service and fast delivery!

It is the closest to what I needed, I really needed a 3 speed winch. But it will do the job. I wore out my old one.



by:

Quality product. Heavy duty, holds more cable than most cranks. Great customer service.

A year into service and working like a charm.

  • Line Capacity of Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430
    The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 referenced in your question does indeed have a drum storage capacity of 185 feet of 7/32 inch cable. The longest 7/32 inch cable we have available is the Fulton # FWC7500100 that measures 50 feet long and also includes a hook. This hand winch features a 3,700 pound weight capacity and will work really nicely for your general purpose lifting or pulling as it does include a hand brake to let you manually control release of a load...

  • Recommendation for Replacement Shelby 5470A Winch with Large Drum Storage Capacity
    You are correct that Shelby is no longer in business. Based on my research it looks like your Shelby 5470A is a 2,800 pound hand winch. I wasn't able to locate the drum capacity on the 5470A but the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 that you mentioned can store up to 30 feet of 3/8 inch cable. It does have a very similar design to your existing Shelby winch but also features a slightly higher weight capacity of 3,200 pounds. This is the largest drum capacity hand winch we have available...

  • Brake Winch Recommendation for Trailer with Roller Bunks to Feed Boat Out Onto Water
    Your best option would be a winch that can be fed out when you are launching your boat so that you don't have to just let it free wheel and take off in to the water by itself. For that the Fulton hand winch part # F142430 that has a hand brake would be a fantastic option. It would let you feed the winch out as needed in a controlled manner and won't require you to swap out the rollers of your trailer for bunks. For a cable you'd then want the part # FWC7500100.

  • Electric and Hand Winch Recommendation For 6,600 Lb Boat
    I am happy to recommend a couple of winches for you. Since your boat on rollers is just over the 2:1 ratio you need a winch with a capacity of at least half the weight of your boat. For an electric winch, I recommend Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW15020 which has a 4,400 lb rating and will work really well for your application. It includes a 50' long x 1/4" (6 mm) diameter rope with a convenient hand held water proof remote. The only hand winch I recommend for the weight of your boat...

  • Solutions for Fulton T3700 Winch with Broken Cable
    The current version of your Fulton T3700 is the part # F142430 which is a cable-only winch like what you have. Best options I have would be a new cable for yours that is broke like with part # FWC7500100 for a 50 foot cable or to go with a new winch that uses a strap instead like the Jif Marine part # 315-W3200D which has a similar 3,200 lb capacity. Only downside to the straps is they aren't as long as the cables since the layers add up quicker. This comes with a 20 foot long strap.

  • Selecting Trailer Hand Winch for 7000-lb Boat
    The capacity of winch you will need for a 7000-lb boat depends on the specific nature of the trailer. The factors that affect selection of a winch include the winching distance, the incline and the nature of the bunks on the trailer. The included article on hand winches has lots of helpful information that will guide you. If the trailer is equipped with low-friction roller bunks like # DL21741, rather than plain wooden bunks like # CE27845, then you can safely use a winch with a lower...

  • Recommended Hand Winch for Use with 5/16 Inch Cable
    The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 referenced in your question is designed to be used with 7/32 inch cable. I spoke with my contact at Fulton and he does not recommend using 5/16 inch cable on this drum. For a similar hand winch that can use 5/16 inch cable I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14825. This direct drive, heavy-duty winch has a weight capacity of 2,500 pounds and the drum can handle 47 feet of 5/16 inch cable. It also features a Zinc Tuffplate...

  • How to Estimate Trailer Weight Capacity Based on Axle Dimensions
    Well, that's a good question. Before you install any weight-bearing item on your 5 x 10 tilt trailer, such as a winch or jack, I do suggest checking the trailer VIN sticker or the identification tag on the axle itself for a weight capacity. Things can get kind of sketchy when trailers are modified. If the trailer has had previous owners that made changes it can be tough to determine weight capacity. If you can find the axle rating that will give you a good starting basis for estimating...

  • How to Determine What Size Boat that a Winch Can Pull
    The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake # F142430 that you referenced has a 3,700 lbs weight capacity. The size and weight of the boat that it can pull really depends on what your boat trailer setup is like. A boat to winch size capacity is typically 2 to 1 which means that this particular winch should typically be able to pull a 7,000 lb boat. If you have good rollers and a short distance to pull then that could make the ratio 3 to 1. If you have wooden bunks...

  • Wire Length and Diameter Wire Cable for Fulton F142430 2 Speed Trailer Winch
    The Fulton # F142430 two speed trailer winch can accommodate 185 feet of 7/32 cable. Fulton didn't have information regarding how long of a piece of 5/32 cable the winch could carry, but since the cable you're asking about is smaller in diameter, it would certainly be safe to say the spool could accommodate at least 185 feet of it, if not more. The longest winch cable we offer is part # FWC7500100 which is 50 feet of 7/32 inch cable.

  • Recommend Hand Winch To Winch a 21.5 Foot 4,000 lb Boat
    The guideline when selecting a winch is to weigh the boat when it is fully loaded and ready to travel with supplies, gas, etc. Then, take the gross weight and divide by 1.5, which will tell you the capacity winch you will need. You will want to weigh your boat with it loaded like you were going on a boat outing. If you are trying to winch the boat without submerging the trailer and not getting your bunks wet, this can add more strain to the winch. If you are doing so, you would want to...

  • What is the Weight Capacity of the Fulton Winch # F142430 With Drum Full of Cable
    I spoke with my contact at Fulton who said that at one layer the weight capacity of the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 is 3,700 lbs. The only other weight capacity that he could tell me is that with 140' of the 7/32" cable, like the 50' # FWC7500100 you referenced, wound all the way up the weight capacity will be reduced to 1,500 lbs. Anything between that would be unknown and you would just have to subtract about 10% of the weight capacity for each layer after...

  • Recommended Electric Winch to Pull One Ton Tree Up 28 Degree Slope
    Unfortunately there is no way that a one ton winch like the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch with Hex Drive Handle - 2,000 lbs # DL11004 will work to pull that one tone tree up a 25 foot hill with 28 degree slope. Winches have the ability to pull their listed load on level ground. Your inline will add just over 50% so you'd multiply the capacity by about 1.86 according to the attached article. The closest we would then have is the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with...

  • Trailer Winch Recommendation for 35 ft Fountain on Boat Trailer with Wooden Bunks
    The best 2 speed hand winch we offer for a boat trailer setup like yours with wooden bunks pulling in a boat that weighs 8,500 lbs is the Fulton 2 Speed winch part # F142430 which also has a hand brake to help when letting the boat out when launching. This has a 3,700 lb capacity as well and for a cable the part # FWC7500100 would work great as well.

  • Recommendation For Hand Winch With Multiple Speeds To Lift Logs That Are Up To 3000-lbs
    Because of the weight of the logs your are moving and the desire for a faster speed option, I recommend the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Winch with Handbrake, Item # F142430. This durable winch has a 2-speed feature (fast for quick pulls and slower for increased mechanical advantage) as well as a handbrake. It has a zinc finish and a maximum capacity of 3,700-lbs. It also works only with a cable like Item # FWC7500100 that is sold separately. While a little more robust than you...

  • Winch Needed for Moving Boat and Trailer to Water from Lakefront Property
    I recommend using the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 for your application. It features a handbrake and 2 speeds; one for pulling the line in quicker and one for more of a mechanical advantage. The winch has a Z-Max 600 zinc finish which provides superior corrosion resistance and a 600-hour salt spray rating. The 3,700 lb weight rating may seem a little overkill but it will ensure that your winch will not be straining every time that you use it. It is also the...

  • Recommended Boat Trailer Winch For 5,000 lb Boat
    We can get you set up with a good replacement for your 2,600 lb Fulton winch, but let's start with what you asked in regards to the strap vs. the cable, with the latter being the better choice. A strap is fine but there is a risk of fraying or tearing, which doesn't exist with the use of a cable, so I do recommend a winch and cable set up. In regards to the winch itself, winch capacity is at least 2-to-1, so if your boat weighs over 5,000 lbs, it is understandable why your 2,600 lb winch...

  • Hand Winch for Ez Loader Boat Trailer Loaded with 1999 Sea Ray Sun Deck 210
    There is a general rule of thumb used when choosing a hand winch for a boat trailer. If the trailer has wooden or carpeted bunks, you will want a winch whose capacity is about half the weight of the boat. If you have bunk rollers on your trailer, your winch capacity should be at least 1/3 of the weight of the boat. According to my research, the dry weight of your boat is somewhere around 3500 lbs, which means that the Fulton 2-Speed Winch you mention would have more than enough capacity...

  • Winch Recommendation for 10,000 lb Boat
    The best option we carry for a 10,000 lb boat is the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 which has a 3,700 lb capacity with Cable # FWC7500100. The winch to boat size capacity is 2-to-1 though it can also be 3-to-1 if you have really good rollers and are not using the winch for much distance. So if you have those conditions this winch will be able to pull a 10,000 lb boat. I have added a link to a video review of this winch for you to take a look at.

  • Winch Recommendation for 3,300 lb Boat Trailer
    Since in general the winch capacity you need is about half the weight of the boat you could get by with # F142416 for a two speed hand winch or the Strongarm part # DL24870 which is an electric winch that comes with a manual crank handle.

  • Winch Recommendation for 3,190 lb Boat
    The 3,200 lb 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch with 20' Strap and Brake # 315-W3200D will be sufficient to pull in your 3,190 lb boat if your trailer has rollers on it as that will make your boat easier to move. If you have bunks then it will technically work but you'll be pushing the winch to the limit so you'll want to use a winch with a higher weight rating like this one: - 3,700 lb Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake # F142430 - Fulton Galvanized Winch Cable with...

  • Hand Winch That Has Capacity for 100 Feet of Cable
    There are a pair of hand winches that have the storage capacity for 100 feet of cable, but it needs to be 7/32" cable; there are no winches that have the capability to store 100 feet of 5/16" cable as it is too large. If you are okay with using that size cable you have two options for a winch, depending on the weight rating you need. - 3,200 lbs: Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch - Cable Only # F142421 - 3,700 lbs: Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake...

  • Boat Trailer Winch that Has Capacity for 18,000 lb Boat
    With boat winches you generally only need 50 percent of the boats weight as the winch's weight capacity. So for a 18,000 lb boat like you have you'd need a winch with at least a 9,000 lb capacity. For that we have the Fulton XLT Powered Winch part # F500621 which has a 10,000 lb capacity and would be your best option. The strap is only 15 feet long though so you'd need to make sure you could get the boat within 15 feet from being fully on the trailer.
