Determining Your Load Capacity
A common ratio for determining your winch load capacity is 2:1. For example, a 2,000-lb boat would require a 1,100-lb winch. There are extenuating factors, however, that will determine the appropriate winch size for your purposes.
The ratio can be stretched to 3:1 in instances when the trailer in use has high-quality rollers and is most commonly used on ramps where boats float most of the way onto the trailer.
In contrast, using a boat trailer that has wooden bunks, lacks self-alignment capabilities, and is most commonly used on ramps where the boat must be winched most of the way onto the trailer reduces the ratio to 1:1.
Note that pontoon trailers and other special designs require special consideration when determining winch capacity.
| Percent Incline | Multiply By |
|---|---|
| Level Surface | 10.0 |
| 5 (3 degrees) | 6.67 |
| 10 (6 degrees) | 5.02 |
| 20 (11 degrees) | 3.40 |
| 30 (17 degrees) | 2.61 |
| 50 (26 degrees) | 1.86 |
| 70 (35 degrees) | 1.53 |
| 100 (45 degrees) | 1.29 |
Determining Your Rolling Load Capacity
To calculate your winch's rolling load capacity - the amount of weight it can pull up an incline - you must multiply the winch capacity by a factor determined by the degree of the incline.
The multiplication factor shown includes a 10 percent rolling friction factor. Note: A 5 percent - or 3 degree - incline is a 1/2' rise in 10'. Follow the chart to determine your winch's rolling load capacity.
Mounting Your Winch
Note:
All Dutton-Lainson StrongArm electric winches are built for multipurpose hauling and pulling operations. They are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting or transporting people, or for handling loads over areas where people could be present.

Video Transcript for Review of Dutton-Lainson Electric Winch - AC Winch - DL24960
Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Dutton Lainson strong arm electric winch with pulley block. This is going to allow you to haul a max load of 2,700 pounds in a single line configuration. So if you can imagine, we don't have our pulley blocks here. We're just hooking up the end hook to whatever we're wanting to haul to be able to pull in a straight line the 2,700 pounds.
However, if we want to, we can have an eye hook on our winch stand, put that safety hook to that, and then put our pulley block hook onto whatever we're hauling, and then we're going to be able to haul up to 4,000 pounds and the double line configuration like this, and that's at a 10 foot pole rating.Our wire is going to be a 50 foot flexible high strength seven strand by 19 gauge galvanized aircraft cable. So it's going to be able to handle everything the winch can handle. So you don't want to exceed the 4,000 pounds of your winch and your cable is going to hold up well to that. We're going to have our pulley block with the snap hook for our double line polling. The snap hooks are going to help keep our load securely attached and the wire cable can be switched out for a two inch wide strap.
The strap does require a wider face plate here. You can find the face plate here at etrailer.com using part number DL444495 and we have several different strap options that you can find here as well.This is an AC operated unit, so it's going to draw six amps at 120 volts. We've got the 10 foot three ground power cable here that's going to allow it to receive power. We're going to go ahead and plug this in, show you how it operates. On the side here, you've got your power switch, your three different positions.
See at the top, we've got the end, so it's going to pull the cable in. You've got your out, so it's going to let the cable out.Now I do have a microphone on, so the sound might be a little bit louder than what it's actually in real life, but as you can see, it is not a noiseless machine. So keep that in mind if that's something that you're concerned about. I can't give you exact ratings on the decibel level, but it does have a little bit of noise to it. When it's pulling in with no load, it's going to pull in and out of speed of nine feet per minute, and when it's fully loaded, it's going to have a speed of four feet per minute.
So we're going to go ahead and pull this back in. It's very powerful. It's going to be able to handle large loads.Here on the side, we also have the spring loaded clutch lever, so and its position here, we've got it in the engaged gears and as you can see we we're able to extend and retract. If we move it to the freewill option all the way up the front, it's going to allow our cable to be removed by hand. This engages the gears. We we're also able to move that into more of a center position and kind of control so that we're able to safely extend our line. If we lose power or don't have power, we can still contain, remain in control of our load.It's also going to include the emergency crank handle here. So if we we're ever in a no power situation, if we remove the plug, use our crank handle to operate the winch. Now obviously, you don't want to have the crank handle in here if you are operating the winch with electricity because the crank handle will spin, could cause some damage. The gears are heat treated, so that's going to make them a lot smoother and it's going to give it a quieter ride and greater strength. There is a mechanical friction brake that's going to help keep control of our loads. And as you can see, we've got a high impact weather resistant case here, which is going to help protect our inner workings from the elements while we're out and about, but it's also going to make it safer for us than an open reel model. We're not going to have to worry about getting our fingers pinched in there or anything like that.The front plate here is a brushed stainless steel, so it's going to help resist any sort of rust. The dye formed base, it does have the keyhole slots here and are going to work with your quick mounting studs. However, you want to make sure that those studs are mounted securely into your winch stand and then you'll need to use a three eighth's inch bolt from one of these other holes to make sure that everything is securely in position. You can find the face hole pattern diagram on our product page.Now to get this mounted, you are going to need to get some hardware. The hardware is not included with this product. You're going to need three half inch bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers as well as an eye hook, if you're wanting to use it in the double line configuration. We'll just mount your eye hook to your winch stand.It is important, too, to note that because this is a mechanical wench, you are going to be limited in the extent of how much you can use it without breaks. If you run it too much continuously, it's going to overheat and could potentially cause motor damage so you don't want to run it any more than three minutes at a time. Let it sit and cool off and then you can run it again. It is O-S-H-A, OSHA, certified and CSA certified for indoor use. It's made here in the USA and it does come with a one year limited warranty from Dutton Lainson. That's going to complete our look at the Dutton Lainson strong arm electric winch with pulley block.

Shopped around a lot before I bought this. My boat is heavy (7500 lb) and the wench I had struggled. I took a chance on this as it was rated for the weight. I used the Anderson style connectors and installed a breaker near the battery. Pulled new wire rated for the amp draw. I couldnt be happier! This thing is a beast! Has no prob pulling my boat and cant see that it struggles at all. Highly reccomend. Photo is during installation. I put a cover over it due to my anchor comes close when launching and didnt want it to hit.

They were exceptionally helpful in deciding which winch to buy. I got this for my pontoon boat on a slide bumper trailer. I wanted to make sure it would have enough power to pull my 24 ft pontoon. This winch is honestly one of the best purchases I have made for this boat. It easily pulls my boat up onto the trailer. Total time to load about 2 mins. I have had many envious looks at my electric winch. Thank you again. For the help in deciding which one to get.

Put this winch on my Ranger 620 boat trailer a year ago and love it! Haven't had a single problem and it helps trailering when I fish alone. I ran power and ground from my truck battery to a back bumper plug, and have a separate removable cable (shown in pic) to connect truck plug to the winch plug. Grounding to the truck didn't work for me. I have another spare cable and plug rolled up and attached to my trolling motor battery for when my buddies drive. Winch prevents power loading and drawing sand into the motor. DL24055 adapter plate was needed and I put a coupler lock up through the middle of the winch to prevent theft and I bought a cover (shown in pic) to keep the rain out. etrailer sales and support are absolutely fabulous! They helped me figure all this out.

Received the winch and all looks good. I ordered a new boat trailer so the winch hasn't been installed yet. Will let you know when it's installed
by: Andrew05/12/2024
The product is great. I replaced a 2001 Strong Arm with this 2024 Strong Arm on my Floe Vertical lift. Having the remote control built in is very nice.
by: John03/23/2024
Works great! The only thing that would make it better is to make the tensioner knob easier to grip when your hands are wet
by: Raymond 11/29/2023
I love the winch for the strap is a great upgrade than the power winch with metal cable which would rust, wire strands would break off, and cut your hands, and the cable would not retrieve back on winch even. The cons I see is the strap has become dried out after use on the end at the hook and it wants to double over on same area. Another concern I have is you have to tighten the clutch knob very hard when retrieving in or it will back off and free spin back out. Just have to wait and see if this becomes a problem in the future.

Works great, fit my trail weight boat trailer, with a 24 foot pontoon
by: Al K.06/15/2017
I am a 77 year old man and having to hand winch my small sailboat up on a shore ramp that I have. It was getting to be a bit much, so I decided to look into a 12volt winch. The Dl25200 fit the bill, works great. I have a 12volt battery next to it and a 10 , watt solar charger to keep the battery up, I hope. Time will tell. The service at etrailer was great, good price and fast shipping. Thanks

Easy to install, works great. Moves a 650 lb load with ease. Noah at customer service was very helpful and professional

I purchased this winch to replace a Fulton K2550 manual winch on my ham radio tower. My tower is 54 ft tall when extended and 21 ft when retracted. It takes about 170 turns of the winch to raise/lower the tower. I removed the hand winch and placed the D-L SA9010AC winch in the existing mounting holes. I like this winch since it comes with a stainless hub since it will be used outside. This winch has a 2700 lb load rating. I am lifting around 700 lbs. This winch comes with no cable or freewheeling clutch. I reused the 1/4" stainless cable on the winch. I raised the tower and it took 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Lowering took 2 minutes. Well within the maximun run time of 3 minutes. The cable length winched was 17 ft. I have raised and lowered the tower several times to work on the antenna's and it worked properly every time. Attached are several pictures of the installation. I already recommended this winch to another ham operator.

To whom it may concern,
The power cable that came with the winch is 4' short. It was mounted on the front of a boat trailer and I have a full size pick up.
by: Eric 04/27/2023
Arrived in timely manner . Easy to install. Replaced hand crank on my boat trailer with this electric winch . Getting older and have some back issues . Works perfectly. Rather than connecting and wiring to car battery I use a portable battery in back of my car .
by: C. Michael04/07/2020
Installed this electric winch on an existing DavitMaster davit. Easy install utilizing existing manual winch plate and hardware. Salesperson was very knowledgable and helpful. Very satisfied with product.
by: Thomas K03/24/2018
Yes I finished the winch installation, I have not tried at the boat ramp,
however I ran the winch and am very pleased. I am also pleased at the way your company does business. Thank you. George you asked for pictures, please find enclosed pictures.
by: Kevin 02/17/2023
The winch works as advertised. My boat with gear and fuel weighs in around 6500 lbs. My trailer has rollers so that does make it easier. It hauls it up ok until maybe the last 6 inches where it slows down a bit. One improvement I would make would be to have a better emergencey handle. It is quite small and if I ever had to use it I would imagine it would take forever and not sure I could generate enough leverage to pull the boat all the way onto the trailer.
by: Michael08/13/2022
They provided prompt service and gave me some valuable input about winch operation.
by: Todd08/16/2023
The hoist has stopped working after 5 months .
by: Kenneth10/01/2022
The trailer winch is a huge help in allowing me to load my boat onto my trailer, especially this year (summer 2022) with water levels in most Minnesota lakes very low. The low water levels prevents the boat from floating up on the trailer in many cases - Muscle is required to pull the boat onto the trailer. This electric winch provides the muscle and saves my 65 year old body from the task.
I power the winch with a 12 volt jump starter and I've used it approximately 60 times thus far without problem. I keep the jump starter in the back of my SUV and then hook it up when I'm ready to load my boat on the trailer. This saves the trouble of wiring the car for the winch and it works perfectly.
Why 3 stars? Because the wiring at the connection from the remote cable to the winch was poorly done and failed within 1/2 year. I had to redo the 3 connections at the end of the remote cable and the 3 connections going into the winch. Very poor job by Dutton-Lainson connecting the wires to the connectors - Inexcusable for a $500 item.
I had a couple questions while installing the winch and etrailer was very helpful in answering those questions. This is why I buy from etrailer and not elsewhere. They both charge a similar price and the technical support that etrailer provides makes it a no brainer - I will always buy from etrailer.
