Today we'll be reviewing part number DL15721. This is the Dutton-Lainson Brake Wench, rated at 2,500 pounds. Our drum hub is going to give us a diameter of 2 and 1/2 inches. This can be used with a cable or with a strap. It's made from a nice rugged construction. It's going to allow you to raise and lower loads with minimal effort.
The convenience of having a brake wench is that your load will actually be locked in place, even when your handle is released. The entire system has a nice zinc TUFFPLATE finish so it's going to stand up well against rust and corrosion. 175 pound minimum load is required for the wench to operate properly. It also has this nice easy grip handle that's included. If we measure from the end of handle to the center of where it mounts, it's going to measure about 9 and 3/4 of an inch. The Dutton-Lainson Brake Wench is going to offer us a 17. 3:1 gear ratio, so for every 17.3 full turns of the handle, our hub is going to complete one full rotation.
To bring our line in, we simply just rotate clockwise. This does not have a freewheel option, so to extend our line out we simply just need to turn the handle counter-clockwise. When using a cable, this is going to accommodate a cable up to 34 feet in length by 5/16 of an inch in thickness. It will accommodate a strap as well; 2 inch wide strap by 21 feet in length. You can see here on the edge, I already installed it. This is just a cable catch kit.
What that does is you can feed your cable through one of these holes, tighten it with that catch and it's going to hold the end of your cable securely in place as you tighten up the rest of your line. Here on the bottom you can see that it does have pre-drilled mount holes for an easy bolt-on installation. Our mounting plate is going to measure about 7 inches by 4 and 1/2. The enlongated hole is going to measure 1 and 3/4 of an inch by 3/8. This hole over here is going to give us a diameter of about 5/8 of an inch. These 2 holes are identical.
They're going to measure 3/8 by 5/8 and then these 2 holes are identical. They're going to measure 3/8 by 1 and 1/16. That's going to complete today's review of part number DL15721. This is the Dutton-Lainson Brake Wench, rated at 2,500 pounds. .

This Dutton-Lainson industrial winch is designed for heavy-duty vertical lifting operations. Crank handle clockwise to lift the load, counter-clockwise to lower the load. Features automatic brake.Solid product! Used it on my boat lift, threads and set up for the brake to work with my wheel was a challenge because the threads on my wheel are 7/8ths, threads on the shaft of winch are 5/8ths and an off set so the brake works with the handle it comes with. That being said, I fabricated up some parts and it works great. Very strong and sturdy and the cable I bought works wonderfully. Shipping was very fast and packaged good. 2nd time I have bought something through this company and I will do it again in a second if and when the need arrives. Great company, great customer based service. Thank you for your great service, other companies need to follow your model. If they do, they will be extremely successful! 521119
The winch arrived at my door very quickly. I installed the winch on one of my boat lifts. It installed with no trouble. The winch raises and lowers the lift with ease. 49292
My review- is based on the fact that I am a 25+ year maintenance engineer, that I had replaced my Fulton brake winch with a different manufacturer. I had great concerns due to the fact that all I could use was the Dutton-Lainson info. the company provided and we all know that sometimes that is not what we end up with. Well after ordering then receiving the product in just a few days, We then installed and found out that it worked better then what was perviously installed. I am more then just pleased- more then 100% pleased! Great Product, Great Price, Great Delivery Time- no run around! Wow! - Please keep up the good work- America needs more companies like you. You are setting a high Bench Mark for others to follow. Thank You! 36429
This is a very well built and solid winch. It is exactly what I was looking for in my application. I put it on a log arch I had welded together to lift some pretty heavy logs, and it does so with ease. The hand brake comes in very handy, and works amazingly well. 690608
E-trailer was great ! Product arrived a day early was exactly as advertised and installed easily. A couple of emails along the way confirming the order, confirming delivery and checking to make sure all was right were great. Will order from them again. 670754
This winch has operated flawlessly and could not be happier. Thanks! 635367
Better build quality than the two other brands I have used. Dutton-Lainson seems to be a good brand. eTrailer shipped the package on time at a good price. 590392
Excellent winch, easily mounted, only drawback is that it is very slow due to the gearing. Lifts 2500 lbs with ease. 575267
Product shipped quickly and is installed on wave runner lift. Working great. Thanks! 519511
the product is OK but i'm having a issue with the handle wearing out after a short time of use. can i order parts for this winch? 487903
Heather A - 03/22/2018Received my DL15721 winch VERY, VERY! fast. I installed it on my U.S.TOWER TX-455 crank-up antenna tower. The lower attachement bolt holes where 1/16 inch too close together, but had little trouble making them work. Winch works well lifting my tri- bander and 2 meter Amateur antennas. Only trouble, was attaching the cable to the drum as instructed ,The cable keeper is small-----or maybe my cabel is large but I got the issue taken care of. Anyway, the winch works extremely well as a replacement for the old K1550 winch , and is much easier to operate. THANKS TO EVERYONE at ETRAILER. Service could not have been BETTER! (will be back for any future needs) 478035
