Video Transcript for Review of Superwinch Electric Winch - Portable Winch - SW1140222

Michael: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Winch2Go Portable Winch by Superwinch. This is going to be a really nice portable winch. It is lightweight and compact enough that you can transport it where you need it and set it up, different locations, depending on what you need when. Or you can also mount it permanently inside your trailer or any other convenient location. It's not going to take up much room, it's nice and compact and organized.

All the equipment that you're going to get can fit inside this toolbox housing, so it's going to be a very nice option for you if you're using a winch in different locations, you don't want it permanently mounted, or if you do want a permanent mounting location that's going to be compact and organized.Inside the housing here, we are going to have our 4,000 pound capacity winch, so it's going to be able to pull 4,000 pounds. It's mounted onto this yellow plate here, so it's going to give us a sturdy foundation if we did want to screw it down, mount it in place or just to give us connection points, obviously to give it some stability when we're winching. This does have a 1.4 horsepower motor with a gear ratio of 166 to one, so it's going to give us plenty of power. We do have a 50 foot, 3/16th inch wire rope, so it's going to reach out to about 50 feet and be plenty strong for us when we're winching our ATVs or cars, whatever it is that we are using our winch to pull up.We also have our free spool clutch here, so if we turn that yellow dial to the disengaged portion we can pull our wire rope out as fast as we need it and then re-engage it so that we can start using the winch to pull that in, so we're not going to have to wait on our remote to slowly let that wire rope out. It's going to let us pull that out as fast as we need to.On the back side, we do have built in disconnects, so it's going to be very easy to hook up our power cords.

These are a 10 foot six gauge connector that will run out to your battery. It's got the alligator clips here, so it's going to be very easy to get hooked up to your battery that you're using to power this up. And then that plug there will just fit into a port on the bottom. And then we also have a 10 foot handheld remote that's going to allow us to be at a safe distance while we're operating our winch, so if something we're to kick back at us would be far enough away, and that's just going to plug in right there at the top. Both have these covers to make sure that they stay protected from the elements while we're out, if it's raining or whatever the case may be.We're also going to get a lot of other materials with this, and like I said, they're all going to fit inside this box.

So we are going to get two of these six foot straps that are rated at 4,000 pounds each. So if you read the instruction manual, they recommend using one of these straps to hold the winch in place. If you're using it in a temporary setup, wrap it around a pole or a beam of your trailer or something like that. And then you can use the other strap to wrap around whatever you are winching up. So you do get two of those straps there.

You're also going to get these three shackles, again, to help with getting everything mounted it in place, giving you nice connection points between your winch and your strap, and your strap and whatever you are winching.We are also going to get one pair of these leather gloves to make sure that our hands are protected. One thing to note is you are going to have to kind of guide your wire rope back in place as you're winding this back up so that it doesn't all bunch to one side. So it'd be good idea to have the gloves on as you're handling that wire rope so you're not getting any burrs or anything like that. Also going to get this pulley block or hook, so this can be mounted on a separate location so that you are basically doubling the capacity of your winch by having it mounted in two locations. So if you want to you can use that and it's going to be useful for you.This does come with a three year limited warranty on all the electrical components and a lifetime warranty on all the mechanical components. And overall, I think this is going to be a great option for you if you have a trailer or something like that, that you're using a lot or if you just want to have the option to move your winch around, if you want to move it from one place to another, I think this is going to be a really neat option. I like the storage capacity, I like that it's all really compact and portable. So if you're looking for a portable winch, this one is going to be a great option for you. That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, thanks for watching.
