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 - DL24975
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Dutton-Lainson AC powered StrongArm Electric Winch, has a 1,200 pound load capacity. Now, this winch is a nice compact size for use in tight spaces, and this electric winch is perfect for indoor or fixed applications. Wanna zoom in up close here, so we can talk about some features. This winch will work anywhere you can access AC power, and includes a nice 3-position switch right here, which right now in the middle, it's in the off position. If you push it this way, it'll be in, and if you push it down and it will be out, so the cable go in, cable go out, and when it's in the middle, it's in the off position.
And it has this spring-loaded clutch lever right here, this spring-loaded clutch lever is for releasing your load without the power, provides a nice, smooth load control from the locked or the freewheel position. Right now, with the points pointing this way, right up here, you'll see it says freewheel, so it's in the freewheel position. And once it's in the freewheel position, that means you can pull out as much cable as you need, and then if you flip it, it'll go into the engage gear or locked position, and then the cable won't be able to move, you'll have to use the power to move it. And if you noticed, what's nice is when it's in the freewheel position, when you go to remove it, you can see it's spring-loaded, it'll automatically pop into the locked position when it's released. It does use a mechanical friction brake.
This is 120 volt AC operation, you can see it includes this 10 foot long three-wire grounded power cord. Now, the cable on this, if we pull some of the cable out just to show you it's a high strength 7 strand 19 gauge galvanized aircraft cable. On the end of it, you can see here is this nice safety hook with the keeper on it that allows you to when you hook it on to wherever you're hooking it to, that keeper will keep it from coming detached. The cable dimension is a 3/16 diameter by 20 foot long cable. Now, if you want, you can remove the wire cable and swap it out for a two inch wide strap also.
Now, it also comes, you can see here, with this nice emergency crank handle that is included, and you would use this on event of a power failure. So if you lose power and you still needed to crank your winch, what you'll do is go onto this side, pop out this little plug right here, and that'll allow you to line up your crank handle, just like that, and then you're able to crank your winch whichever way you need to go. And then once your power comes back on, just remove your handle, put your plug back in there, and you're ready to go. They do use heat-treated gears on the inside, provide a nice, smoother, quieter ride, greater strength. The gear ratio on this winch is 189 to 1.
They also use precision needle bearings in the high-load areas, which will creating low friction, promote longer life. The base on this, I'll just turn it a little bit, so you can see the very bottom here. This is a die-form base, which can be adapted for quick mounting applications, and the case on it is a nice high impact weather resistant case, provides excellent protection for any of the internal components. It is a lot safer than the open-reel models. If you noticed on the front right here, there's a nice brushed stainless steel front plate for superior rust resistance. Now, this part is made in the USA, it is CSA and OSHA certified. Few specs on this, the load capacity, again, we mentioned is 1,200 pounds, and that capacity is based on third layer of cable on the drum and a continuous 10 foot pole. The current draw on this is six amps at 120 volts. Now, electric winches should be used intermittently, because the maximum continuous run time should be only about four minutes on electric winch. The load speed on this, the feet per minute, if it's a no load full reel, 35 feet per minute, a full load full reel, 16 feet per minute. Last thing I wanna do is just give you some dimensions on this to let you know the size of it. We're gonna zoom back in. And if we do the length from the very back here to the very front, you can see if I put my tape measure on it, that's gonna be right at about 11 inches. Total length, the width on it. Now, when I do the width, I am gonna do all the way with this handle, measuring including that handle, so you're gonna be right at about eight inches wide, and as I mentioned, it includes that handle. And the last portion, we're gonna measure the height, and the height, if turn this right here, you can see the tallest point is gonna be right here at the very back. So if we go right there, you're gonna see right about eight inches tall. But that should do it for the review on the Dutton-Lainson AC powered StrongArm Electric Winch with a 1,200 pound load capacity..

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.

The hoist has stopped working after 5 months .

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.

- Can I use Dutton Lainson Winch Outdoors and Light Duty Winch Recommendation For Outdoor UseI contacted Dutton-Lainson and the StrongArm electric winch part # DL24975 can be used outside. With that being said, it plugs into a standard AC wall plug and is not waterproof. You need an AC wall outlet to plug it into and it is not safe to use in marine environments or in the rain. If you need a light duty 12V Utility Winch for outdoor use, I recommend Bulldog Winch part # BDW15008. It can pull up to 2,000 lbs and has 50 feet of wire rope. The Bulldog Winch has a sealed gearbox and...
