I have used this D-I winch to raise and lower a 10 x 10 ft platform in my workshop.

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:

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!

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:

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….

Product worked out really great 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)



by:

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!

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:

E trailer is the best place for trailer hardware!



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.



by:

Great winch, fast shipping



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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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



by:

This crank winch is a perfect fit, easily installed and it works flawless. Shipping was quick and the prices are great.



by:

Customer representative was very helpful in helping us find what we were looking for; we had to do some cross references and it was shipped to us a lot sooner than we expected. We did not pay for any type of expedited service and it was at my door in two days. Product is good. Everything went great. Thanks

  • Recommendation for a Dutton Lainson Left Handed Winch with a 2,500 lb Capacity
    For a left-handed winch with a 2,500 lb capacity I would recommend you get a Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15403. What is nice about this winch is that if you wanted to move the handle to the other side of the winch you could. I spoke with my contact at Dutton Lainson to confirm this.

  • 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...

  • Why Does Winch Handle Unscrew When Trying to Unwind Dutton Lainson Brake Winch
    The DL204358C number you referenced is just a number used to identify the warning label on Dutton-Lainson brake winches. The actual winch model number is stamped into the base of the winch on the side opposite the handle. I've attached a couple photos pointing this out. Some Dutton Lainson hand winches, like # DL15721 do not feature a freewheel option. The handle can be turned counter clockwise to unwind the cable or strap. However, if the minimum operating weight (175 lbs for DL15721)...

  • How To Unwind Dutton Lainson Hand Winch DL15721
    The Dutton Lainson Hand Winch, model # DL15721 does not feature a free-wheel option. The handle can be turned counter clockwise to unwind the cable or strap. If the minimum operating weight (175 lbs) is not applied, the winch handle will become loose and unscrew from the bolt that holds it in place. We actually get a lot of questions about this. So, when trying to unwind the winch, you just want to make sure that the minimum weight is on the winch and it will allow you to operate it in...

  • 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...

  • Can a Strap be Used with the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201
    I do have a solution for you to use a winch with a strap but unfortunately we don't have a 2D drawing of the Fulton High-Performance Brake Winch # F143201 and this winch is not compatible with a strap, only cable like part # DL24102. For a similar winch that does allow you to use a strap we have the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15721. This is also rated for 2,500 lbs and can be used with the Hand Winch Strap # DL24251. If there are specific dimensions you are looking for (like the mounting...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Replacement for the Shelby Trailer Winch 5409B
    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...

  • 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...

  • 2500 Lb Capacity Brake Winch
    The Fulton # F143201 High Performance Brake Winch is compatible with cable only, not a strap. We do not offer a compatible 2500 lb brake winch that's comparable with a 3 inch strap, but the US made Dutton-Lainson # DL15721 works with a 2 inch strap like part # DL24251.

  • Recommendation for a Worm Gear, Brake or Trailer Winch for a Mushroom Harvesting Trolley
    There are a few things to determine before we can make a recommendation that will work well for your Mushroom Harvesting Trolley. First, how do you want to control the load that you are using the winch for? A trailer winch controls the load as it is being pulled in, but free spools out. A hand brake winch, like the one you referenced, controls the load coming in and when in free spool the load can be controlled by manipulating the hand brake. A brake winch, or worm gear winch controls...

  • Winch Recommendation to Pull Boat Trailer Up Hill
    On the Dutton Lainson # DL15721, the ratchet style two-way means that you will be able to ratchet the load in or let it out by ratcheting the handle, so when letting a load out the weight of the load will not just totally let go. This would be the style of winch I would recommend for your application. For a cable you'd then want the part # DL24102 which is 25 feet long. You'd have to attach the winch to the top of your post as the bottom of the winch is the mounting bracket. I wish we...

    Because I don't know how your specific trailer is designed with the scissor lift I don't know if the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL15721 will be large enough capacity to safely lift your 2,800 lb boat and motor. You may want to consider the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 3,500 lbs # DL24844 which is rated higher and has the enclosed gears and braking mechanism.

    The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL15721 you were looking at does not include a cable or strap. You will need either the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook 5/16" Diameter x 25' Long # DL24102 or the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, 2" Wide x 20' Long # DL24251.

  • Hand Winch Recommendation that has a Hex Drive for a Drill
    Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15721 does not have a hex head that is fixed and would allow you to use an electric drill attachment. For that I recommend using worm gear winch # DL11001 which does have a hex drive and you can use a 5/8 inch socket attachment to power the load in or out. Worm gear winches are brake winches so when you stop turning the drum, either with the handle or a drill, it will hold the load. There is also no minimum load required. This winch can accept up to a 82 foot...

    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.

    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...
