  • How to Choose the Correct Electric Winch for a Small Car Trailer
  • Choosing the correct electric trailer winch for your needs is a bit of a tricky task. The weight capacity of a winch will be affected by many factors such as the weight of the object, angle at which the object is being pulled, the number of layers there is on the drum, in addition to static vs rolling loads. The angle at which the car will need to be pulled up the trailer in addition to layers of wire on the drum will be offset by the rolling load therefore a 4,000 lb winch should be...

  • Will the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch BDW15017 Handle 2,600 lb Vehicle & Mount to Aluminum Trailer
  • It is possible yes; the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wire Rope - Hawse Fairlead - 3,400 lbs # BDW15017 does have the needed capacity for your 2,600 lb 1989 BMW 325i is within the weight capacity of the winch, and it can be mounted on your aluminum trailer. That said, you'll need to create some type of corrosion-resistant paint or coating on the steel plate for the winch, and also do the same for the mounting hardware (or change it out). Otherwise, there will be corrosion due to mixture...

  • How Much Wire Rope Comes with the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch
  • I may have a solution for you, but we no longer carry an electric winch from Fulton like the XLT. However, the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 4,400 lbs # BDW15019 comes with 55-1/2 feet of 7/32" wire rope and is very similar. I've linked a short review video of this winch for you to check out, but it can be used on a variety of different trailers, including boat trailers.

  • How to Winch a Boat and Trailer Down a 60 Foot Hill with 35 Degree Slope
  • We certainly have a large selection of electric trailer winches and everything else you would need to launch and retrieve your boat but I am a bit confused on how you are trying to accomplish this. Would it be possible for you to sketch a quick diagram to further explain how you will be launching/retrieving the boat. I am also confused by how you would use a trailer hitch mounted winch plate while the boat is attached. Can you please clarify this for me so I can provide a solid recommendation....

  • Is the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch, # DL15440, Designed for Marine Use With a 2 Inch Winch Strap
  • Yes, the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch with TUFFPLATE Finish, # DL15440, would be a great winch for a boat trailer, especially a larger boat. The TUFFPLATE Finish makes the winch acceptable for marine use and the two speed gearing will help winch the boat in fast until the majority of the load is applied and then the handle can be moved to the lower gear and will give power to finish winching the boat onto the trailer. The correct strap for this winch is the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook,...

  • Will Bulldog Winch Have the Capacity and Capability to Load 4,000lbs Car into My 18 Foot Car Hauler
  • Good news! The Bulldog Winch # BDW15019 will work great for loading your 18 foot car hauler with a vehicle up to 4,000lbs. We recommend using a winch with a line pull capacity no less than equal to that of the load being moved. For example, if a car weighing 4,000 lbs is going to be pulled onto a trailer, an electric winch with a line pull capacity equal to 4,400 lbs. will work great. If the winch is going to be used to pull a load up a set of ramps and onto a trailer, the ramp incline,...

  • What Are the Mounting Hole Dimensions for the Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch
  • The Fulton Single Speed Trailer Winch part # F142102 uses a standard winch mounting pattern which I have attached a photo of for you. If your winch mounting pattern does not match this then your would be best off to just re-drill as most boat trailer winches will use the same standard winch mounting pattern.

  • Can the Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch be Used to Pull Snowmobiles into an Enclosed Trailer
  • The Superwinch LT2000, # 1120210, has a rated line pull of 2,000 lbs.This winch will have enough line pull power to pull up your snowmobiles into your enclosed trailer. You will have to custom fabricate a mount that will fit your trailer. A welding shop might be able to help you in making a mounting system. This winch has mounting holes on the bottom plate so you can bolt it to a surface. You will have to find an area inside your trailer at the front for mounting the winch. The spot where...

  • Mounting Bulldog Trailer Winch To Recessed Tray On Car Hauler Gooseneck Trailer
  • The Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW10039 is 24" long x 7-1/4" wide x 7-1/4" tall so it will have no issues fitting on your recessed plate on your trailer. The winch includes a mounting plate that is 20" long and 7-3/8" wide. It has mounting holes for the winch of 10" x 4-1/2" and additional holes at 13" x 6-1/8" for mounting the plate to the trailer. You should have no issues fitting the winch to your recessed mounting plate. My biggest concern is the steel wire rope rubbing on the...

  • Will Fulton Trailer Winch Fit Karavan Trailer
  • Yes, the Fulton winch part # F142201 will fit in place of what you have on your Karavan trailer and would fit the bolt pattern you have as well. Thankfully winches all use basically the same bolt pattern which is what this Fulton was made to fit.

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate Work with a Ramsey 15000 Winch
  • We do not carry Ramsey winches, but from what I could find on the Ramsey 15000 winch it uses a 10" x 4.5" mounting pattern. As long as that is correct, then the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010 would work for your winch. I recommend that you measure the bolt mounting pattern on your winch to confirm.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Replacement Winch To Replace Fulton XLT1401 For 3500 Lb Boat
  • Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with half the capacity as the weight of the boat. Since the winch is only pulling the boat, you don't really need to consider the trailer weight. I recommend to upgrade to the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Heavy Duty 20' Strap part # F142418 which will work really well with the 3500 lb boat even when full of fuel. The XLT is a 2 speed winch with 2,600 lb capacity and an included...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount C31004 has a Capacity of 9,000 Pounds Straight Pull
  • This Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount, part # C31010 has a capacity of 9,000 pounds straight pull. You will need to find the weight capacity of the hitch as well, and compare the capacities, using the lowest limiting factor. We do not sell Warn winches, so I am not completely sure if this mount is compatible with a Warn winch. However, the first set of mounting holes are 10 by 4-1/2 inches, and the second set of mounting holes measure 6-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches center to center. In general, you...

  • Best Electric Boat Trailer Winch and How to Determine Capacity
  • I would be happy to help you! When it comes to choosing an electric winch or any winch for a boat trailer, there are a few general rules we can use. The boat-size-to-winch capacity is generally 2 to 1. With good rollers and short winching distances, the ration can increase to 3 to 1 and with wooden bunks and long winching distances, you will want to reduce the capacity to 1 to 1. Since you have plastic sides instead of carpet you will probably be in the 2 to 1 range. I recommend the Dutton-Lainson...

  • Receiver Mount for Trailer Needed To Operate a 12,000LB Winch
  • I have a recommendation for you as the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket # BDW20154 is only designed to hold a winch when not in use. It does not have the structure required to operate a winch. For a 12,000LB Winch # BDW10040 you will need a receiver like the Draw-tite # 41990 to have enough strength for the winch to operate at full load. This receiver would need to be tied into the trailer frame to secure it.

  • Would the Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit # BDW20207 Work on a Badlands 12000 Winch
  • While it most likely would work, the Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit # BDW20207 has never been tested on your Badlands 12,000 winch so I could not say with 100 percent certainty if it would work for you. If your winch can be powered with 2 AWG wire then most likely this kit would be adequate for your winch as this winch is confirmed to work on Superwinch winches up to 16.5k in capacity.
