• Wiring Diagram for Superwinch LT3000ATV
  I attached a diagram that shows how the Superwinch part # SW1130220 gets wired up. In it you can see which terminal you would need to run the black and red wires. Is the battery you are using fully charged? What you described is typically the sound of a winch not able to draw enough amps to function.

• Solution for Replacement Winch for Old Starcraft Lift System
  It looks like you have one of the 1983-2000 models. There are no replacements for the winch from that setup so the only solution would be to modify a winch like the # SW1130220 to make it work. I'm not sure how long those cables are but based on the pictures I don't know if the Superwinch LT3000 would be able to accommodate them. I also can't say how modifying it would impact the capacity to know if it could handle the roof. As you pointed out, this would void the warranty on this or any...

• Winch Recommendation for Pulling Racecar Up Into Trailer
  The LT3000 winch, # SW1130220, is a good choice for pulling a 2,350 pound vehicle onto your trailer. With a rolling load (your vehicle) on a 17 degree slope (typical range for a trailer ramp) the winch will have a 7,825 pound rolling load capacity. For trailer mounting these winches are mounted directly to the trailer frame with bolts that go through the mounting plate provided on the winch. If you would like the winch to be removable you could mount it to the SuperWinch Hitch Mounted...

• Methods for Powering Electric Winches
  Winch makers usually provide guidance about the required power to operate their winches to their fullest capacity. For example, the 3000-lb-rated Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25010 will require 70-amps of battery current to deliver its full capacity. A battery with less output capacity may still adequately operate the winch with lighter loads on it but will not be able to operate the winch under a full load. A battery charger like NOCO # NOC34FR is designed to deliver slow,...

• Difference Between Superwinch Terra and LT Winches for an ATV
  As far as ATV winches are concerned the Terra Superwinch series is the high-end winches that Superwinch offers whereas the LT series winches are the value winches. The most popular winch we sell is the LT series Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch part # SW1130220, which sounds like would be great for what you are doing. However, if you wanted to step up to a winch with more capacity and has a much faster motor, I would recommend you check out the Superwinch Terra Series ATV Winch # SW1135220. For...

• Electric Winch with Load-Holding Brake to Lift, Hold, and Lower a Popup Camper Roof
  The dynamic brake on the Superwinch LT2000 winch # 1120210 is not meant to hold a load indefinitely so it would not really be the best option for you. I recommend a winch that has mechanical braking. Or you could use a worm gear winch which has a natural brake when the drum is not turning. But electric worm gear winches can be pricey. For a less costly winch that has a load-holding brake I recommend the Superwinch LT3000 winch, # SW1130220. It is a step up from the LT2000.

• Where Does Red Wire of Rocker Switch on a Superwinch LT3000 Go
  I spoke to my contact at Superwinch and he said that the red wire you found needs to be run to a 12 volt circuit. This is the activation circuit for the winch and does not need a high amperage circuit. You could run this wire to the 12 volt circuit of the trailer's wiring.

• Where Would Ignition Wire of Superwinch LT3000 Run on a Non-ATV Installation
  The red wire that runs to the ignition switch on the Superwinch LT3000 part # SW1130220 would normally get run to power source that only sees voltage when the key of the ATV is on. In your application you would need to just run a 12 volt power circuit. I attached a diagram for the wiring of the winch for you to check out as well.

• How to Wire Superwinch LT3000
  First you want to make sure you mount the solenoid close to the battery, under the seat or frame or in the storage box. Next route the red wire from the handlebar switch to the ignition switch and connect to the wire that is powered when ignition is in the on position. Then route the two wires from the solenoid to the motor. Next route the two wires from the solenoid to the battery and attach the circuit breaker to the end of the red wire. Wrap the circuit breaker with electrical tape....

• Recommended Pulley Block To Use With Offset Winch On Trailer
  You can use a pulley block like part # BDW20005, to pull your car on to a trailer with the winch being offset. You will want to make sure the winch is well secured for safety. This pulley block has a capacity of 17,000 lbs break strength and is designed to be used with winches that have a rated line pull up to 7,000 lbs working load. I have attached a drawing that shows how to attach a pulley when offsetting the winch. I have attached a link to a product review video for this pulley...

• Can an ATV Winch Be Used to Load Car Onto Trailer Ramps
  The main difference between an ATV winch and a trailer winch is that the ATV winch comes with a wiring kit and other install components that tailor it to an install on an ATV. That being said, if you wanted to install the # SW1130220 on a trailer it would be possible. The capacity of the winch you would need will be based on the slope angle of the ramps on your trailer. I attached a help article that details how to pick out the correct electric winch. I also attached a chart that shows...

• Can Superwinch LT2000 Winch Hold A Static Load With No Power
  I called my contact at Superwinch about the LT2000 Electric Utility Winch, part # 1120210. They told me that if there is power or not provided to the winch and you have a load, the winch will slowly unwind lowering the load. The freewheeling clutch is only used when there is no load on the winch and you wish to unwind the cable. You may want to check out part # SW1130220. This is a heavier duty winch with a rated line pull of 3,000 lbs. My contact said this will hold a load in place whether...

• Replacement for Superwinch LT3000 Electric Winch With Same Mounting Bolt Pattern
  While we do have a solution for you, the Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch # 1120210 does not have the same mounting bolt pattern of 3" x 4-7/8" as your current Superwinch LT3000 # SW1130220. Similar winches that do have the same bolt pattern are the Superwinch LT4000 ATV Winch - Wire Rope # SW1140220 and the Superwinch LT4000SR ATV Winch - Synthetic Rope # SW1140230. I've added a link to a video review for you to check out as well.

• How Could a Pulley Block Be Used to Slow Down Plow Blade From Raising and Lowering
  A pulley block like the part # BDW20005 will reduce the speed of a winch by 50 percent when used. I attached a picture that shows how one normally gets used in a more traditional application. Basically you attach the pulley block to the object that is getting moved (in your case the plow blade), and then you route the cable through it and back to the same area as where the winch is installed. This slows the pulley down and also increases capacity. We don't have a specific recommendation...

• Wiring a Superwinch LT3000 Winch to an ATV/UTV
  If you are talking about the red wire from the handlebar switch on the LT3000 winch # SW1130220 then it connects to the ignition switch on your 2015 Suzuki King Quad 500. Basically, it needs to attach to a wire that only has power when the ignition is turned on. The ignition switch wire that has power with the ignition on is the recommended wire. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to identify the wire that only has power when the ignition is on. I have included a picture showing the...

• Winch Recommendation Similar to Superwinch X2
  The X2 is a 3,000 lb line rated winch with a wire rope which we have the very similar LT3000 part # SW1130220 which has an upgraded roller fairlead over the X2. This would be a great solution that would work well.

• Capacity of Superwinch 3K Winch Pulling a Rolling Load Up a 30 Percent Incline
  Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch - 3K Item # SW1130220 can handle 2,000 pounds on a 30 percent incline but keep in mind the higher the capacity on the winch the easier it will be on the winch. You can go up to a 4,400 pound winch # BDW15019 for not much of a price increase. But the step above that, 5,800 pounds # BDW10029, carriers a more significant increase in price. You can double the capacity of a winch by using a pulley block such as # BDW20004 with a hook, # EM59505, bolted at the front...

• Electric Winch Recommendation to Pull a 3000 lb Boat and Trailer into a Garage
  Assuming your trailer is going to be a rolling load, you will not need a winch with a large capacity. Rolling loads can be moved more easily allowing a winch to handle more than the rated capacity. I have attached a help article on electric winches for you to check out. If you only plan on using the winch to pull the boat into the garage, then I recommend going with a more economical 3,000 lb winch like the Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch, # SW1130220, but you can always go with a higher rated...

• Winch and Install Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500
  You can wire the winch up to either the truck battery or the trailer battery. If the plan is to use the winch on the vehicle then I would wire it there. If the winch is for the trailer then powering off the trailer battery would also work. But you will need to charge the battery more frequently. As long as you know which wire is positive and negative you should be just fine. I wouldn't get too hung up on the colors of the wires as they aren't always consistent. For a winch you could use...

• Motor Stalls on Polaris 570 ATV when Using Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch
  It sounds like the load on the winch you have on your Polaris ATV is creating too much power draw for the electrical system to handle causing the engine to die. It might not die if you keep the RPMs up enough to handle the increased load. You may also need to look into a higher capacity battery and/or generator/alternator to handle the higher load. The Superwinch LT3000ATV winch # SW1130220 can draw up to 180 amps at full load. If the electrical system cannot handle that load or the battery...

• Does Installing the Superwinch LT3000ATV # SW1130220 Require Using the Breakers
  Yes, you absolutely would want to use the circuit breaker when wiring up the Superwinch LT3000ATV # SW1130220. Failure to do so would void the warranty of the winch and could potentially damage your battery.
