Capacity of Superwinch 3K Winch Pulling a Rolling Load Up a 30 Percent Incline  

Question:

I am looking into this winch to use on a car trailer to haul rolling vehicles. The trailer is 20foot 18foot with 2foot dovetail. The ramps are 5foot long and the height of the trailer where they attach is 18inch or 19. How much rolling load would this winch be able to handle?

Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch - 3K Item # SW1130220 can handle 2,000 pounds on a 30 percent incline but keep in mind the higher the capacity on the winch the easier it will be on the winch. You can go up to a 4,400 pound winch # BDW15019 for not much of a price increase. But the step above that, 5,800 pounds # BDW10029, carriers a more significant increase in price.

You can double the capacity of a winch by using a pulley block such as # BDW20004 with a hook, # EM59505, bolted at the front of the trailer. I have included a picture showing what this will look like.

This does cut the line pull speed in half. But you can go with a lower capacity winch, use this set up, and double the winch capacity rather than spending a lot of money on a high capacity winch.
