This Dutton-Lainson 2-speed, heavy-duty winch is designed for multipurpose horizontal pulling operations.by: Steven02/03/2024
This replaced a much smaller winch that came stock on my trailer. My stock winch bent pulling my boat up the last few inches on the trailer. This winch has plenty of torque and is quite beefy. I like the two speeds as well. I have a 26' boat that probably weighs about 5,000 lbs and is on a non roller trailer. I highly recommend this winch.
by: Chuck 04/19/2024
I have used Dutton Lainson products for years. They are a quality product. Even better when you put this 3200 lb winch on sale.
Thanks.

Great product, exceeds my expectations. Great customer service and follow up

One year - it’s great so far. I will definitely follow up in a year or two for a real review.

I used the new winch and 10,000 lb strap for the first time this week-end. Worked like a charm pulling our cruiser onto the trailer.
by: Rocking Horse Livestock Co02/19/2021
We have this winch attached to a round bale cart. We use it to lift 1200 lb round bales of hay onto the cart for transport and unrolling. So far it is holding up and working well. Just a month or two leeft of feeding hay.
Prior to buying this one I have had two others of lesser size, quality and lower price that didn't last one season.

Still working well. No issues. The two speed is very handy for us.
by: Robert09/20/2023
(winch is 5 stars) box was destroyed in shipping, that is why only 4 stars.
winch is MUCH more powerful in low gear than the one it replaced. will help a lot pulling the boat the last few inches on the trailer.

Bought for boat trailer, 2800lb boat. Walks it right up the trailer, smooth operation. Only used a few times but solid so far.
by: Jon J.01/09/2014
Received the DL3200A winch with free shipping ahead of time due to Etrailer up grading the shipping for free. I have the winch installed on my boat trailer and it works great. I would recommend Etrailer because of their great service and expediting the winch to me without extra charge.
by: Jeff (Lazy Bonez)05/06/2021
So far all is good. definitely heavy duty. way heavier and stronger than the one I replaced. hopefully it works as well as it looks.

One heavy duty winch! Using it on a 22 ft plate boat. The standard winches came apart on this trailer. Highly recommend it.

Great price and Supierior quality, can't go wrong , had a cheap $[XX] one from Amazon striped main gear on first trip, this one is beefy and made in USA !!!

I have a bunk trailer with carpet. My boat is a C-Dory 22’ cruiser. This winch is awesome! There are times I am at a shallow ramp so I have pull the boat more on bunks then float. Having a low gear makes this effortless. Only thing I really do not like it the removable handle. I always worry it could be stolen. I have been meaning to order a spare. Would be more awesome to have a socket attachment for electric drill.

It’s a great winch. I have a bunk trailer and low tide retrieval is much easier now.

very stout, very well made - I ordered also an extra handle to keep in the boat in case I lose the one that comes with it.

Wind ripped one of my old wenches right off my dock leaving the bolts in place and the winch and cable to shore post in the water. I ordered two of these very heavy duty winches and replaced both the old ones and so far they are doing a great job and have no problem dealing with the high winds we get at the lake. I would have given it 5 stars except for one problem. The winch handle is removable and got knocked off during install and fell into the water. Had to order another handle. I now leave the handles in the dock closet rather than risk losing another one. I rarely need to attached the cables that keep my floating dock in place. If yours is going on a trailer I would recommend not leaving it attached.

Working great, no rust, no problems, two on dock with cables to shore as dock floats. High quality wenches.
by: Dennis E.08/02/2015
I have a bad back and recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure so I have lost a good deal of my strength. My boat is a 16 1/2 Alumacraft with a 60 horse Mercury motor and in the past, I had no trouble loading it with my old single stage winch. My new winch is just what the doctor ordered. It makes reloading easy again. My only problem was that the handle fell off on the way to the lake first time out. I found it laying on the shoulder but it incurred some damage as the clip holder was gone and the rubber handle cover was flattened from being run over.

I lost 2 more handles because they just fell off. I now detach the handle and carry it in the boat. Otherwise, it works just fine.
by: Lee W.03/06/2017
Bought this 3200 lb winch to put on my boat trailer, it pulls my 11,000 lb boat up on the trailer with ease, the only issue i can see is the removable handle, looks like it could vibrate off on a rough road. Ill just keep in in the truck, shipping was quick and boxed well, ill order another one if i ever wear this one out.

It worked flawlessly for one year and then the locking brake tooth wore off, can I get that replacement part?

good solid winch, didn’t come with mounting bolts but not the end of the world. Looks like it’ll last a long time. Thanks for fast shipping
by: Larry W.12/06/2020
I gave it 5 stars but can't get the star to highlight.
I love this winch. Looked at several winches at a boat storage facility and saw this winch over and over on big boat trailers. The older ones looked like they had held up well.
The drum is welded very well. Sides can't easily separate from the spool. The gears, though laminated, are thick tempered steel. The frame is the same thick steel not the flimsy crap at the farm store. If you mount it solid it will do a good job.
I welded a 6x6x1/4 x 20" length of tubing above tongue of utility trailer behind jack. Bolted winch to top of tubing and ran cable thru a roller fairlead mounted on front of trailer bed. The tubing adds height to winch to keep cable from dragging on bed and gives clearance between winch crank handle and trailer tongue frame. I added a door to end of tubing so I can use it for extra storage. Using a snatch block and 50' of 5/16" stainless cable I can drag pretty much anything up onto trailer bed.
Consider the same winch with brake if freewheeling / unspooling of cable is a concern. With proper lubrication this thing freewheels easily. I keep crank handle on winch for a little back pressure when unspooling cable and straighten any loose cable on drum before winching to prevent cable overlap.
Overall I am very happy with all purchases from etrailer. They have what I need and ship it quickly. Great to do business with.
by: Marlin07/11/2016
I have us this winch everyday since I put it on. It puts my 26'ft. boat on the trailer so easy that I have to check to make sure it is not slipping and it is not. Thanks for a great product. I will use etrailer again.

I just sold the trailer but the winch was working pretty at that time. Great product.
by: Lloyd 02/13/2023
Great product, heavier duty than I was expecting. 5 star service, shipped same day as ordered. Will definitely use etrailer again.
by: John S09/21/2016
This was a direct replacement of a poorly cared for winch. It fit perfectly, operates as expected, and provided proper care should last a very long time!

The parts have held up well, with proper care. Our use is around salt water, typically parts can get abused by nature. Theyve performed well.
by: Mike P.10/25/2018
Winch has performed well, I use it with a strap and winch a 7000 lbs. boat onto my trailer. The crank does change direction when you put it into the lower gear range and it can be a pain to operate in that direction when you are standing on a trailer tongue above the water. It does see a lot of salt water use and it hasn't corroded. I am not sure I like the detachable handle. I get worried about leaving it at home or forgetting it on the winch when I pull out of the launch, but I just keep track of it.

- Recommended Brake Winch For Boat Trailer To Pull 3500lb BoatYou may be able to use the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - Hex Drive - 2,000 lbs # DL11004 you were looking at to load your 3500lb boat on your boat trailer, but it will come down to how long the winch distance is, and if your trailer has carpeted bunks or roller bunks. The standard rule of the thumb is 2-to-1 boat to winch ratio which would mean the # DL11004 would work up with up to a 4000lb boat. If you have roller bunks and are winching a short distance then the winch would...
view full answer... - Can a Winch Cable Be Replaced with a Hand Winch Strap On a 2006 Aluminum Loadrite TrailerWith a 5,200 pound rated trailer and a 4500 pound boat you are getting to the upper end of the capacity rating for winches with a strap. That is most likely why your winch has a cable installed on it. Some winches are set up so that a cable or a strap with hook can be used. If a strap, item # DL24251, can be used on your winch there will be holes in the cable drum sides, directly across from each other, to put a bolt through that the strap attaches to. If your drum is not set up in this...
view full answer... - Strap Winch for Boat Trailer with RollersYou can use a strap type winch instead of a cable winch so long as your trailer's rollers are in good shape and the weight of your 28-ft Cuddy is not more than 3-times the winch's rating. Rollers allow you to use a winch rated for as low as 1/3 of the boat weight. I suggest the 2-Speed Boat Trailer Winch # 315-W3200D which is rated for 3200-lbs and which has a 20-foot strap.
view full answer... - Replacement Winch for 25 Foot Party Barge Pontoon BoatIt sounds like an upgrade is definitely in order. The Dutton-Lainson two speed winch you referenced, part # DL15440 would actually be an excellent choice for a heavier boat like your party barge. Dutton-Lainson winches offer a good balance between performance and cost. A two speed jack is ideal for getting a heavier boat up onto a trailer, the lower speed works well for getting the boat lined up and started onto the trailer, and the higher gear offers additional mechanical advantage to...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Manual Boat Winch Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1. The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14725 should work well for you. It has a 2,000 lb capacity. Or the part # DL15440 that you referenced which has a...
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Handle for Fulton Model 881 WinchI spoke with my contact at Fulton and he said that the Fulton Model 881 winch that you have is an older unit. He checked on his end and they do not make any parts for that winch anymore. We do carry a wide variety of hand winches for your boat trailer though. If you could let me know what the weight of your boat is and the setup of your boat trailer (whether it has rollers or what kind of material the boat rests on) I can give you some recommendations like the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch...

- Recommended Hand Winch for 6,000 Pound SailboatBoth the Fulton XLT # F142425 and the Dutton-Lainson # DL15440 Hand Winches that you referenced are great winches that will do a nice job for your sailboat. I recommend going with the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142425. This is an excellent hand winch with 2 speeds and a shift lock design that will let you change gears without having to move the handle. A nice feature on this unit is that it actually includes a heavy-duty, 20 foot strap with safety hook that will wind cleaner...

We top out at 3200 lbs with the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch with TUFFPLATE Finish, Two Speed with Direct Drive # DL15440 for a manual option. Then Electric comes into play. We only have one winch that is over 7800 lbs and it is the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead - 12,000 lbs # BDW10040.

- Recommendation for Replacement Shelby 5470A Winch with Large Drum Storage Capacity You are correct that Shelby is no longer in business. Based on my research it looks like your Shelby 5470A is a 2,800 pound hand winch. I wasn't able to locate the drum capacity on the 5470A but the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 that you mentioned can store up to 30 feet of 3/8 inch cable. It does have a very similar design to your existing Shelby winch but also features a slightly higher weight capacity of 3,200 pounds. This is the largest drum capacity hand winch we have available...

- Is Dutton-Lainson DL2500AB Pulling Winch Part # DL14830 Correct Size Winch for 3020-lb BoatThe Dutton-Lainson DL2500AB Pulling Winch, part # DL14830, has a rated horizontal pulling capacity of 2500 pounds. It is not rated adequately to pull your 3020-lb boat onto its bunked trailer. We offer the 3200-lb-rated Dutton-Lainson model DL3200A, part # DL15440. This 2-speed winch features high-carbon-steel gears and permanently-lubricated bearings. The handle is included. I have linked a product review video for this item. Please note that you will need to use three grade 5 or grade...
view full answer... - Recommended Hand Winch That Will Not Free Wheel When Not CrankingThe Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch with TUFFPLATE Finish # DL15440 does have a reversible ratchet, however without engaging it the winch is allowed to free wheel. Another option is the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11001. This winch will automatically stop the reel whenever you stop cranking. Its capacity isn't as high, at 2,000 pounds, however it is still plenty to lift the body of your Vette.
view full answer... - Can a 2,500 lb Winch Use a Strap in Place of a Steel CableSome winches, like the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440, can use either a cable or strap. This particular winch can take a 3/8" cable up to 30' long or a 2" strap up to 25' long. Without knowing what winch you have I can't really verify if you can use a strap in place of a cable. If you know who the manufacturer is and what model number you have I can contact the manufacturer if it is someone that we carry. If it is not a manufacturer that we deal with then you would need to contact...
view full answer... - Availability of 3,200 lb Winch that Uses a Wire Rope Instead of a StrapWe have a Dutton Lainson winch part # DL15440 which is very similar to the JIF you mentioned as it's a 3,200 lb capacity, 2-speed winch but we don't have a JIF version that has the wire rope. For a cable then you'd want the part # FWC3250100 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Hand Winch with Largest Drum Capacity for 3/8 Inch Wire RopeThe Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 features the longest 3/8 inch rope capacity at 30 feet in length. This heavy-duty winch features a zinc TUFFPLATE finish to resist corrosion during marine applications and it has a 3,200 pound weight capacity. The handle is included and the unit is made right here in the USA. I have attached a short video demonstration on this winch that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Winch To Use For a Boat LiftI do have a winch that could be used as a boat lift, but the item you selected, Dutton-Lainson hand winch # DL15440, would not be a good option as it is not a brake winch. A brake winch will stop the load and hold it in place if you were to let go of the handle when winching. For use as a boat lift, I would recommend the Dutton-Lainson brake winch # DL15721. This winch is designed for multipurpose uses including boat lifts. If you will need a larger capacity brake winch, we also offer...
view full answer... - Hand Winch for Floating Dock that Can Accept 3/8 inch Wire RopeThe Dutton Lainson hand winch part # DL15440 accepts a 3/8 inch winch rope like you are in need of, is 2 speed, and has a 3,800 lb weight capacity as well so it would work great for your floating dock.

Dutton-Lainson winches offer a good balance between performance and cost. A two speed jack is ideal for getting a heavier boat up onto a trailer, the lower speed works well for getting the boat lined up and started onto the trailer, and the higher gear offers additional mechanical advantage to get the boat pulled up and seated correctly on he trailer.

view full answer... - Recommended Hand Winch for 3500 Lb ChrisCraft Sea Hawk 215The Dutton-Lainson # DL15440 Two Speed Winch you mentioned should be exactly what you need. As you said, you want to choose a winch whose capacity is at least 50 percent of the weight of your boat. Since the # DL15440 winch has a capacity almost equal to the weight of the boat, it will provide plenty of capacity to spare. Dutton-Lainson makes a great product, the winch should provide years of trouble-free service. I do not believe you need an electric winch, a two speed winch should be...
view full answer... - Can the Dutton Lainson 2-Speed Hand Winch # DL15440 Free WheelThe Dutton Lainson 2-Speed Hand Winch # DL15440 that you referenced is a 2 speed jack that if you push up on the ratchet lever it will allow it to free wheel. Check out the 2:45 mark of the video I attached to see how this is done.
view full answer... - Winch Recommendation for Pontoon BoatThat's a really unusual place for winch to bend/fail. I'd be willing to be the issue is that the angle of the winch's pull is not ideal. What degree is the winch pulling from relative to the winch plate direction? Parallel?
view full answer... - Recommended Cable With Hook for Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440The correct cable with hook for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440 is the # DL24104. This is a 50 foot long 1/4 diameter galvanized aircraft cable with safety hook. The cable fastener you will need for this is the # DL24362 which is sold separately from the wire cable. If you prefer the strap the one recommended for this hand winch is # DL24251. This 2 inch wide strap is 20 foot long and comes with the safety hook as well as the bolt to secure it to the winch. I have linked all...
view full answer... - Boat Winch Recommendation for 2005 Bayliner 225In general you only need 50 percent of the total boat trailer weight as winch capacity, but if there are longer winch lengths with wooden bunks you'd need to match the capacity of the winch with the boat. So based on that the Dutton Lainson part # DL15440 that you referenced would be an excellent choice. This has a 3,200 lb capacity which would work well for your boat's weight. Then for a strap we have the part # DL24250 which is 25 feet long, fits this winch, and has more than enough capacity...
view full answer... - Winch Recommendations for a Letting In and Out a DockFor a winch that could bring in over 20-25 feet like you said you need you could use the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL15440. You will need to also get a Hand Winch Cable # DL24104. I am not sure if you were planning on using the 5/8 inch cable you have on your dock, but in case you were you would not be able to since the cable is too thick and its not winch cable that is designed to be wound tightly.

- Replacement Winch Recommendation for Trailer with 4,000 lb BoatGenerally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1. Since you have wood bunks and possibly a longer winching distance I would recommend you go with a higher weight rating. It's a good sign your Fulton...
