Receiver Mount for Trailer Needed To Operate a 12,000LB Winch
Question:
Could I use the mount to use on my trailer for 12000 lb winch? Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket Item # BDW20154
asked by: Alan C
Expert Reply:
I have a recommendation for you as the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mount Storage Bracket # BDW20154 is only designed to hold a winch when not in use. It does not have the structure required to operate a winch. For a 12,000LB Winch # BDW10040 you will need a receiver like the Draw-tite # 41990 to have enough strength for the winch to operate at full load. This receiver would need to be tied into the trailer frame to secure it.
