What Winch To Use For 1000lb Loads
Question:
Im looking for an electric 110-volt horizontal winch. I want to attach it to a pole on land 50 feet from the lifts to be removed. Both lifts are approx. 1000lbs each with wheels. The ground is on a very slight incline. What size winch should I use? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
If your lifts are 1000lbs you would want at least a 1200lb winch # BDW74FR. Since they are on wheels it wouldn't be a dead load dragging across the ground, but if you plan on dragging them across anything other than a garage floor I would get a heavier winch like # CU123529. These are all 12 V DC motors so you would have to have it hooked up to a battery. We do not sell 110 V winches.
