Largest Available High Capacity Winch Drum for 3/16" Cable
Question:
I am looking for a winch that has drum capacity of approximately 200 ft. of 3/16 cable. Basically want to hold a floating pump in position with 3 separate winches, and be able to pull pump into shore if need be. Can I use 3/16 cable in the Fulton 142430? It says it hold 185foot of 7/32inch cable, what would the capacity be for 3/16inch cable. I do realize the 3,700 lb capacity would significantly, but will only be using to pull a 600lb floating pump to shore. Thank You!

I was able to get in touch with one of our contacts over at Horizon and they said that the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch with Handbrake - Cable Only - Zinc - 3,700 lbs # F142430 can only be used with 7/32" cable.
For a winch that uses a 3/16" cable we have the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch - Worm Gear - 1,500 lbs # DL10950 but the drum on that winch can only hold 81 ft of cable.
