Recommend Winch To Pull 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Onto a Trailer
Question:
Is this winch strong enough to pull a car into my car up the trailer hauler ramp? Slight incline Car:1955 Belair complete on wheels in neutral
asked by: Ken
Expert Reply:
With the weight of the car plus the incline up the trailer, I would recommend going with a higher capacity winch. Even though your 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is a rolling load, the incline on the trailer will make for more resistance.
I recommend going with a higher capacity winch like the Bulldog Winch # BDW15019, which has a 4,400 lb capacity.
I've linked a video for you to take a look at.
