Is the Brophy D-Ring Strong Enough to Pull a Car Onto a Trailer with a Come Along

Question:

Hi, Im trying to load a car that doesnt run onto my featherlite 3110 that doesnt have a winch. Are the D-Rings strong enough for me to connect a come along to so I can pull the car up onto the trailer?

The Brophy D-Ring # RR5K is rated for 5,000 pounds but it depends on what it is mounted to. If the trailer has a steel floor or 2x4 wood floor then it would not be a problem. If it is aluminum you would want to bolt it to a structural crossmember and not straight through a floor or wall. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

If your trailer came with D-Rings you would have to check with the manufacturer for the capacity.
