Emergency Crank Handle for a Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch

Question

Question:

I need a crank handle to use in case of power failure on my electric wench. The wench is listed as a Dutton Lainson DLB800A. This is a wench used to lift the top of a pop up camper. Thanks!

The Dutton-Lainson Winch part DLB800A that you referenced is not an electric winch. It is a brake hand winch with an 800 lb capacity which is similar to our part # DL16331. With that being said, all of the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winches have some sort of built-in manual override. If they did not come with an emergency crank handle which was the case with part # DL25200, you can manually operate the winch with a 5/8" deep well socket. The drive shaft you will need to access is covered by a plug which you can see in the attached photo.

I have also attached a section of the owner's manual for a Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch which walks you through the above process.

According to Dutton-Lainson, you can indeed use the #DL6454 to replace the existing handle on your DLB800A winch so you can utilize the #DL6456 drill Drive Socket Adapter. I've linked to a description video for the #DL6456 adapter.

Answer 12

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
