Hand Winch Recommendation with Free Wheel and Longer Steel Cable
Question:
I am working on rigging a winch to pull an aircraft into a hangar. The winch should use wire rope large spool capacity would be a plus and have a working load rating of 1600 - 2000 pounds rolling load. Another item I would like is a free wheeling bale to release the wire rope without the handle turning not sure if any of the winches have this feature. Can you make any recommendations? Thank you.

The 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. This also has a 3,200 lb capacity as well.
For 50 foot long rope to use you would want the part # DL24104 as well.
