Most Popular Standard Hand Winch for 2019 Ford Explorer

Super beefy and after a years worth of use it still works as good as the day it was installed. I went a lot bigger then the factory winch on my trailer and I am glad I did. This thing drags my boat up without breaking a sweat.

I’m using two of these on a floating dock that fluctuates seasonally due to TVA water release during the winter. They hold plenty of cable & are heavy duty enough to move the dock as needed.

Installation was simple. I haven’t pulled the boat out yet with the new winch but it should be better than the 1600 lb one that was there.

This is the first boat trailer winch I've owned that I believe is heavy duty enough for my boat. My suggestion to anyone shopping for a boat winch is to buy one much larger than the ratings say. That being said, I love this winch and would highly recommend it.

it arrived quickly, and it was just what we needed.

This isn't my first winch like this and I love the first one as much as I'm sure I will this one. It is so smooth on releasing that I can easily pull out the strap I need and my first one was mounted on a boat trailer. This one was mounted on a 14 foot utility trailer that I use often. I made the mount for a moose hunt and wish I had this winch at the time. However, I have an offset smoker on wheels and haul it with this trailer and I positive this winch is going to be A LOT better than the one I had. The boat trailer sure is!!

The usual good Fulton quality and very fast shipping by Etrailer. This winch is a little low on maximum lbs rating at 900 lbs, but I knew that before ordering. All I really needed was the wide offset handle, not sold separately. I'll use the offset handle and the 12 foot winch strap on my present 1400 lb Fulton winch, and keep the bare 900 lb unit for use on a future project.

Works well used it for a year now for my pwc.

Excellent service, items were well packed, install straight forward. Works great!

The winch has held it's finish. no rust noted after a year. Mine is mounted to an antenna pole to lift the 25' mast. Nice addition to my project.

After two weeks of waiting this is how it arrived.If you going to use USPS to ship I will consider other retailers.

Excellent upgrade from the wimpy one which came with the trailer. Great for my lousy shallow ramp, back in such that the boat nests in the bunks and let the torque from this thing easily drag the boat up to the stop.

Upon inspection of winch, came in good shape, well packaged delivered to our customer, thank you

Winch is very heavy duty and well coated with zinc. Handle can be removed and inserted in the low or high speed with a push of a button. Great winch. However,the brake lever is in a bag with a few hardware parts which must be assembled to the winch. I thought the brake lever would already be assembled to the winch. The e-clip (or wave washer as the instructions call it) that holds the brake lever in place broke when trying to clip it on. I had to run to an auto parts store 10 miles away to buy a new e-clip as I was in the middle of installation. If the brake lever had already been installed I would have given the winch five stars.

I purchased this Fulton (142418) XLT 2-Speed (2,600lbs) to replace the original Fulton XLT 1401(1,400 lbs) winch on my Sanger V230 boat trailer. Our winch was hit and the metal housing was bent, but still useable. Unfortunately, the strap got stuck in the gears because the metal housing no longer correctly guided the strap (which was getting old) and it started to tear. I researched several and due to possible mounting restrictions with others, I settled on this one. The installation wasn't difficult, but it would have been nice to have some sort of instructions for a starting point. I found an online video, but it didn't actually show the install. A little fumbling around and it was installed in about 30 minutes. This one is a bit bigger than the old one, but it fit with no problems or need to drill any additional holes (which I really wanted to avoid). The only negative I have with this winch is the strap release/wind lever on the bottom. When it is engaged to bring the strap in, the lever is almost fully retracted inside of the plastic housing. This may not be an issue for some...but I have long nails and getting that lever (especially if there is any tension on the strap) out isn't as easy as on my old one. Other than that, it's a great replacement product and we are happy with it thus far. The product arrived in time to save my daughter's 15th birthday weekend with her friends! Website had the information and pictures I needed to make my decision, and great customer service! Thank you!

Excellent winch, very very happy. Thanks for quick shipping and excellent customer service support!!

Five stars..purchased this winch to minimize effort to haul in my 18ft Fourwinns when the trailer angle/submergence makes for a tougher reloading. The two speeds allow for an easier retrieval when winching the boat onto the trailer. Literally cranking takes half the effort to retrieve my boat. The foot print of mounting on my existing winch stand was easy, required drilling a few extra holes to secure, but is solidly mounted using only 3 bolt/nuts. I also camouflaged painted the winch to offset the “new shiny” appearance against theft when trailer is parked at the marina’s.

Well at first i was a little concerned because the factory container box was mangled. The shipping box was fine. It seemed ok. Installed and seems to be fine
