rpmsrup 2 Posted January 14 Will this winch work for loading in my toyhauler i know it only says 1000 lbs lifting power but the car is rolling https://www.amazon.com/WARN-885000-Corded-PullzAll-120V/dp/B0043OV0IA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1547497200&sr=8-6&keywords=winch Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SANDPSYCHO 955 Posted January 14 I have seen a few of these at work. They will pull a good rolling car up an average ramp but it will be slow AF and you will wonder if it's going burn up. They will not drag a broken car on flat ground. I think you'll wish you bought a 5K Harbor Frieght winch that was bolted in for the same money, if your going to use it to load your car on any sort of regular basis. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acefuture 139 Posted January 14 I have this bad boy bolted in the front bathroom through the floor to the frame. Tugs my 2500lb buggy in the trailer no problem. Just needs a full 12v charge on the battery, or run the genny. https://www.harborfreight.com/2500-lbs-atvutility-electric-winch-with-wireless-remote-control-61840.html 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
77charger 92 Posted January 14 1600 pound car and use a 3000 -3500 pound harbor freight winch its the 140 buck one. Works fine for my car but if I had a heavier car I'd go 5k winch. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acefuture 139 Posted January 14 5 minutes ago, thowell said: Can i see a pic of how you mounted it? It comes with a mounting plate. I used 10" grade 8 bolts through the floor board. Fortunately theres a frame rail right under the cabinet that I was able to bolt it to. Then silicon around the bolts inside. It lines up to my back door and is almost perfectly centered Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SANDPSYCHO 955 Posted January 14 2 minutes ago, acefuture said: Can't beat that price No and it comes with a remote. There are a ton of YouTube vedios where people have used them for trailer movers and other things. There is also one that shows how to wire in a switch to control it in case you lose the remote or just want a backup option. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We use one to pull a buggy up a 45* ramp for my Father in Law’s garage model toy hauler (when you gotta make shit fit, you make it fit). Works great.

I can't find a pic and I'm not going out in the rain and dark to take one. Once the door is down, I unhook it and I have a bolt shank on the side I use to hold the cable out of the way.

Blacklisted 12 Posted January 15 I use this one if needed to load my rail in the trailer and if needed to pull a car up my driveway. 120V Winch I have it mounted to 2x2" square aluminum runners that I can clip to the tie down rings of the trailer. And it's 120v so it plugs in easy to an outlet. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SANDPSYCHO 955 Posted January 15 (edited) 1 hour ago, jwest2sh said: Is the winch mounted to the ceiling of the trailer? No I had to weld in steel tubing and make a plate to mount it. The roof is under 7' on the inside and the door opening is only 6 and a halfish. So I placed it back and up so I don't hit my head on it all the time. It originally had the cable roller garage spring deal that I finally destroyed catching the cables on my rear tires. Most everything was covered up using the original metal cover for it.

77charger 92 Posted January 15 Here is the one I mentioned earlier that I use. Was a lil worried the 2500 might struggle and didn't want to worry about it so got 3500. https://m.harborfreight.com/3500-lbs-atvutility-electric-winch-with-automatic-load-holding-brake-61257.html Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwest2sh 141 Posted January 15 I have the 5000lb harbor frieght winch in my enclosed. I live on a slight hill and I can pull my 3000# car up the hill and into the trailer with it. It struggles just for a minute while the rear wheels are on the steep ramp but hasn't failed me in the 3 or 4 times I have used it. ~jw Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortyfour 94 Posted January 15 I put a Smittybilt 9000lb winch on the front of my trailer, it will pull anything you hook to it. I chose that particular one because it had a 50' spool of 3/8 wire rope, a series wound motor and a lifetime warranty on the planetary gearset. It was $300 from Summit. I use it every time I load the car on the trailer at home when the paddles are on. When loading at the dunes I just drive it on. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
