Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Superwinch S5500 Trailer Winch

Today, we are going to be taking a look at the super winch s5500 winch. Part number SW1455200. The s5500 trailer winch is the ideal solution for getting your wheel equipment like, your ATV or UTV or in this case our golf cart onto our trailer. It has an aluminum free-spool clutch lever that allows us to pull the cable out freely to help save our wear and tear on our winch engine and our power source. When free-spooling it up it has a hand savor strap which when used in conjunction to gloves can really save your hands from getting damaged. The hook itself is made out of a heavy gauged steel, while the cable is 60 foot long and made out of a heavy construction braided steel. The spool is protected by removable dust cover to help keep out debris and any other elements.

It features a 30 foot remote with an in and out rocker switch so it can stand at a safe distance and easily load up our wheeled equipment. It features a roller haul spare lead which is going to help protect your cable and reduce friction when your pulling up your wheeled equipment on to your trailer. It has a 3.6 horsepower permanent magnet sealed motor with a three stage gear box giving it rated line pull of 5500 pounds. It comes with all the wiring you need to get it hooked up to your power source. Its dimensions are about 19 inches long, 5 3/4 wide, and 5 3/4 tall. It also features a limited lifetime warranty. Now we're just about ready to start winching it up.

Now its always good to be safe, make sure either your trailer is hooked up to your vehicle, and that you keep it a safe distance. So lets hook the switch on our freezable clutch, we'll grab our hand saver strap, and pull it out. Were going to bring it down to our shackle, which we've got used in conjunction with our golf cart here today. If you don't have a shackle you can find wide variety of sizes of those at etrailer.com. The one we are using today is part GS06.

So we'll take our hook, well clip it onto the shackle. You'll notice that the gate is going to keep it from sliding off. Lets go ahead and release our clutch lever down, now we're all set. Now lets go ahead and press our in button on our rocker switch and lets start winching it up. Now if you'd like to double the rated pull line of your winch, you could pick up the heavy duty winch pulley block, and that's going to be part number SW7750A. The cable simply goes around the pulley and back to an anchor point allowing it to double the capacity. Now the winch could also be used to help you unload your wheeled equipment, lets go ahead and do that now.
