You can mount a winch to a trailer to allow it to pull things up onto the trailer. This is pretty common for car haulers.

You could purchase a Hitch Receiver tube and have it welded to the the trailer frame or crossmember near the front like part # E-9. With a piece like this welded to the frame, you could use the Winch Plate # BDW20011 mount to attach your winch.

You'll need to pull up a portion of the floor to access where you'll attach it. Maybe locate the anchor point from underneath the trailer so that you know where to remove the flooring.
