Features to know about

Effortless Lifting: Hex Drive Convenience

Say goodbye to the strain of manual cranking. The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch features a hex drive that allows operation with a standard cordless drill, making lifting and lowering tasks feel effortless. Whether you're hoisting up a heavy kayak onto your RV or adjusting a sailboat mast, simply attach a 5/8" socket to your drill and let the winch do the heavy lifting—it's as easy as pushing a button.

Reliable Load Control: Self-Holding Brake System

No more worries about loads slipping when your hands are off the crank. Thanks to the worm gear design, this winch securely holds the load in place whenever you stop turning. The secure holding feature ensures that your load stays exactly where you leave it, offering peace of mind during operations like lifting game feeder barrels or adjusting antenna towers.

Built to Last: Durable Construction

With powder-coated steel construction, this winch is built to endure tough environments and resist rust. Whether it's mounted on a deer feeder out in the elements or on a boat trailer exposed to saltwater, the rugged materials promise long-term use with minimal maintenance. Its USA-made quality is echoed by enthusiasts who chose it for their critical lifting tasks.

Versatile Cable Handling: Adaptable Cable Capacity

From up to 43 feet of 1/4 inch cable to versatile setups like a 7/32 inch by 50-foot option, this winch offers flexibility to suit a variety of lifting needs. Whether you are dealing with landscaping, construction, or vehicle hauling tasks, the ability to customize your cable setup ensures you can configure your winch for maximum efficiency and safety.

Quiet and Smooth Operation: Noise-Free Mechanism

Need a winch that won't disrupt your environment? The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch operates more quietly than traditional ratchet pawl winches, ensuring smooth, noise-free performance. It's the ideal solution for applications that require steady and silent operations, such as raising and lowering delicate chandeliers or theater curtains.

No Limitations Outdoors: Weather-Resistant Design

Designed for reliability through all seasons, this winch's weather-resistant features make it perfect for permanent outdoor use. Powder coated steel stands against corrosion, allowing you to depend on this resilient tool for operations that require unwavering reliability, whether you're on a boat dock or in a dusty workshop.

  • Recommended Trailer Valet Trailer Dolly for Moving Loaded Trailer Up and Down Driveway Steep Grade
    For your Yakima 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106, I recommend the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW # TVXL2. This tow dolly will use chain driven solid rubber tires to help you move the trailer up the incline of your driveway when loaded and is height adjustable to accommodate your needs. It also has an automatic brake that will help you as you take the trailer down the driveway to make sure the trailer doesn't run away from you. This...

  • Winch to Replace Shelby Model 5351 Winch
    There is no longer a repair kit available for the Shelby 5351 brake hand winch. A reliable option to replace it is Fulton 1500-lb winch # F143100 along with 25-foot cable # DL24100. I have linked our main page for all brake hand winches that will allow you to select a new one with the capacity you need. Jut click on the filters on the page to choose singe- or two-speed operation and your preference for a wire rope or strap. The linked help article that will guide you to the best winch...

  • Can I Use the Dutton Lainson Drive Socket Adapter on a DL11011 Worm Gear Winch
    I have a solution for you, but if you've got a Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch like the # DL11002 then you won't be able to use the # DL6456. Instead, you'll need to use the Hex Shaft for Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winches # DL406102 and the Replacement Pin for Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch - # DL205246. This will allow you to operate your winch with a drill.

  • Max Speed for Drill Powering Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch
    The instructions for the # DL11011 state, "to minimize heat build up and possible winch damage, do not exceed 600 rpm." So, although you can use a drill with the Dutton-Lainson Drill Drive Socket Adapter for DLB Series Winches # DL6456 to operate your winch, you will be limited to 600 rpm.

  • Using Worm Gear Winch Versus Brake Winch for Hoisting Small Dinghy
    If you are wanting to use a drill to ease operation of the winch, the Dutton-Lainson # DL11011 would be a much better choice. This winch is specifically designed so that the handle is easily removable for use with a drill. Using the shaft directly connected to the drill chuck is not recommended, but the input shaft has a hexagonal cross-section, that can be used with a 5/8 inch socket or driver attached to a drill. Keep in mind that the 1500 lb capacity for the jack is based on having...

  • Can The Dutton-Lainson DL11004 Winch Use A 25 Foot Long Strap?
    We are a little limited on what we have for worm gear winches, but if your application does not require the strap to be completely wound and can have 5 feet of excess hanging down/out, you can use the 25 foot strap # DL24249 with the Dutton-Lainson # DL11004. If you cannot, you will only be able to use the 20 foot # DL24242. The only other hex drive winch we have with the worm gear will be the Dutton-Lainson # DL11011 that is designed to be used with wire rope. The 1/4" Diameter with Safety...

  • Hand Winch for Use with Lightweight Loads
    In cases where the weight of the load on the winch is too low to properly engage the winch brake you can use a worm gear winch instead. This type of winch uses a screw mechanism to operate the load. The weight of the load cannot cause the winch to reverse direction so no brake mechanism is needed at all. The linked page displays our range of worm gear winches. You have a choice of poly strap or wire rope models, but for a marine environment I suggest the strap type, either part # DL11004...

  • Winch Recommendation for Lifting 700 lb Sailboat Vertically
    The only types of winches we can recommend for hoisting like what you are wanting to do are the worm gear winches like the # DL11011 that you referenced. This winch has more than enough capacity so it would fit and work well. For a similar winch that can use a strap instead of a wire rope you'd want the part # DL11004 with the strap part # DL24242 and you'd be set.

  • Cable Attachment and Function of the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch - 1500 lbs # DL11011
    To secure a cable on the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Winch - 1,500 lbs, # DL11011, you will use a series of loops around the reel and gear. You will not need to use a cable fastener or cable keeper to do this. I have attached a diagram that shows how the cable should be fed through the reel and gear for you to check out. I spoke with my contact at Dutton-Lainson and she assured me that a 3/16 inch diameter cable will work with this winch. I recommend using the Hand Winch Cable - 3/16 Inch...

  • Hoist Options to Remove a Canopy Off of a Truck
    I have a couple different options you can use to lift a canopy off of your truck. If you are removing the canopy in a garage or shop that would provide overhead supports, you can use an overhead winch like the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL11011 with the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook # DL24100. If you are needing a system that does not require supports overhead, then you could use the Brophy Heavy Duty Cable Camper Jacks # CX74.

  • Will Dutton Lainson Worm Gear Winch Lower Itself If Holding Something Suspended in the Air
    Worm gear winches like the Dutton Lainson part # DL11011 that you referenced by design cannot lower themselves. They basically are the best "brake" winch you can get since it's essentially impossible to have the spool of the winch rotate without the handle being turned. These are the best style for any type of hoist where something is going to be lifted in the air for this reason as you don't have to worry about a brake mechanism releasing and dropping the load.

  • How To Release Cable from Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch
    Since the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11011 that you referenced is a worm gear winch, there really isn't a way to quickly unspool the cable. To extend the line you would turn the handle one direction, and then to retract the line you would turn the handle the opposite direction. Because of the way the worm gear winch works, the cable cannot be pulled out to unwind the cable. The handle must be turned to release the cable. I have attached a review video of this winch for you.

  • What Dutton Lainson Jacks Does Dutton Lainson Socket Drill Adapter # DL6456 Fit
    The socket/drill adapter part # DL6456 that you referenced only fits worm gear style winches like the # DL11011 from Dutton Lainson and would not fit the winch part # DL14725.

  • Hand Winch With Top Crank Handle for Loading 5 x 8 Utility Trailer
    The only problem I can see with your choice is that worm gear winches take a lot of cranking before anything happens. The crank revolution to drum revolution ratio is 30:1, meaning you'd need to crank the handle 30 times to make the cable drum rotate once. You can lessen the pain by removing the handle and using a heavy duty 1/2 inch drill with a 5/8 inch socket to turn the winch at a less sedate pace. Due to the fact that you're wanting a top crank winch, your choices are pretty limited....

  • Can Winch Strap Be Used On Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11011
    The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch with Hex Drive Handle # DL11011 referenced in your question is designed specifically for use with a cable like # DL24100. A strap cannot be used with this particular model winch. For a similar style, worm gear hand winch that is designed to be used with a strap, I recommend the Dutton Lainson # DL11002. This has a slightly larger capacity of 2,000 pounds when compared to the model you were looking at and can be used with the winch strap # DL24242....

  • Availability of Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Brake Winch That Can Use Strap as well as Cable
    We offer worm gear brake winches in various ratings but all are higher than 800-lbs. Our worm gear winches can be seen on the linked page and you'll note their capacities range from 1500- to 3,000-lbs. These are all designed specifically for a cable, such as # DL11011, or for a 2-inch strap, such as # DL11002. The strap for this winch is part # DL24242.

  • Can Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch 11011 Use 1/4 Inch Cable
    You are on the money with the cable that you need, which is 1/4 inch for the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL11011. The correct cable for this winch is the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook 1/4" Diameter x 25' Long # DL24100 or 50' Long # DL24104. This is a great winch for what you are looking to do compared to the other winch you mentioned, and I absolutely recommend it because it has an easy-to-use topwind handle which cranks in either direction for lowering and lifting and holds in place...

  • Floor Mount Winch Needed to Pull Powered Parachute Airplane Into Enclosed Trailer
    We have exactly what you are looking for! The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11004 has a hex drive topwind handle that you can operate by hand while it sits on the floor of your trailer or with a drill and a 5/8" socket. I recommend using the drill since the worm gear operates really slow. It takes 40 turns of the handles for 1 rotation of the drum. This winch is rated for 2,000 lbs so it will easily be able to pull your powered parachute airplane into your enclosed trailer....

  • Is there a Separate Braking Mechanism Needed on the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11011
    Yes, you are correct that for the Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch # DL11011, once you stop turning the handle the load on the winch will be stopped due to the worm gear function of this hand winch. For this particular, and most worm gear winches, there is not a free spool mode. To extend the the line you would turn the handle one direction, and then to retract the line you would turn the handle the opposite direction. This is due to the interaction between the handle driven worm gear,...

This winch is worm gear driven for smoother operation and has a hex drive so you can use a drill if you so choose for even easier function. I recommend using the Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook 1/4" Diameter x 50' Long - 3,500 lbs # DL24104 with this winch.

    At 1,500 pounds capacity worm gear winch # DL10954 is the lowest capacity available. Speed is an issue with worn gear winches because they allow for the precise movement of a load. If you used # DL11011 with a series of pulleys you could mount the winch lower and operate it with a power drill to speed things up significantly. Regarding pulling 2 lines in at the same time the preferred method would be to use pulleys and one line feeding in to the winch though you might find success using...
