Determining Your Load Capacity
A common ratio for determining your winch load capacity is 2:1. For example, a 2,000-lb boat would require a 1,100-lb winch. There are extenuating factors, however, that will determine the appropriate winch size for your purposes.
The ratio can be stretched to 3:1 in instances when the trailer in use has high-quality rollers and is most commonly used on ramps where boats float most of the way onto the trailer.
In contrast, using a boat trailer that has wooden bunks, lacks self-alignment capabilities, and is most commonly used on ramps where the boat must be winched most of the way onto the trailer reduces the ratio to 1:1.
Note that pontoon trailers and other special designs require special consideration when determining winch capacity.
| Percent Incline | Multiply By |
|---|---|
| Level Surface | 10.0 |
| 5 (3 degrees) | 6.67 |
| 10 (6 degrees) | 5.02 |
| 20 (11 degrees) | 3.40 |
| 30 (17 degrees) | 2.61 |
| 50 (26 degrees) | 1.86 |
| 70 (35 degrees) | 1.53 |
| 100 (45 degrees) | 1.29 |
Determining Your Rolling Load Capacity
To calculate your winch's rolling load capacity - the amount of weight it can pull up an incline - you must multiply the winch capacity by a factor determined by the degree of the incline.
The multiplication factor shown includes a 10 percent rolling friction factor. Note: A 5 percent - or 3 degree - incline is a 1/2' rise in 10'. Follow the chart to determine your winch's rolling load capacity.
Mounting Your Winch
Note:
All Dutton-Lainson StrongArm electric winches are built for multipurpose hauling and pulling operations. They are not to be used as hoists for lifting, supporting or transporting people, or for handling loads over areas where people could be present.

Video Transcript for Checking Out the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch w/ Remote, Pulley Block
Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Dutton Lainson StrongArm electric winch. Now, this winch is built for multipurpose hauling and pulling operations. It does feature the built-in detachable handheld remote. This allows you to control the line in and line out functions from a safe distance. When we say built in, what you gotta do is just plug this unit in right here to the port that's built into the body of the winch.When it comes to the braking, we're looking at two different braking systems on this unit. We have a dynamic motor break, which helps bring the load to an immediate stop without coasting, and we have a mechanical friction brake, which locks the reel to hold the load.
The clutch lever is located right here on the side of the unit, it has two positions. You have your engaged gear position, and then you have a freewheel position and you just rotate it that direction. Move it to a freewheel mode, and that option allows the table to be removed by hand quickly and easily. This is a high-torque, 12-volt DC motor. It includes circuit breaker overload protection.
Comes with the necessary wiring harness. We're looking at the cabling that's included. This is a flexible high-strain, seven-strand by 19-gauge galvanized aircraft cable. It also has the pulley block and snap hooks included for double line pooling. This is 50 feet of cable, which is great for double line operation, and each hook has that safety latch or safety snap hook, which keeps the load securely attached.It also comes with an emergency crank handle that comes standard and it is designed for use in the event of power failure.
The area where you insert that is located right here on the side. You remove this plug to gain access to the connection point for that manual crank handle. Now, internally, the unit features heat treated gears to provide smoother, quieter operation and greater strength. We're looking at precision needle bearings in high load areas to create low friction and promote longer life. Also, it has the die-formed base.
This is adaptive for quick mounting applications. That's designed to be a universal mount and it does work in a variety of situations or for a variety of applications.The casing is a high-impact, weather-resistant case, provides excellent protection for internal components. It's also safer than open reel models. Right here on the front, we have the brushed stainless steel front plate for superior rust resistance. The product's made in the USA. When it comes to the load capacity, we're looking at about 1,500 pounds. Double Line capacity is 2,200 pounds and that rating is based on 10-foot of pull. The current draw, 70 amps at 12 volts. Electric wenches should be used intermittently, so the maximum continued runtime is . continuous run time is four minutes. For this unit, gear ratio is 189-to-one, and when it comes to your load speed and feet per minute, no load full reel is 16 feet per minute. Full load full real is 4.5 feet per minute. It's a really nice winch. Again, you got the handheld remote right here, allows you to control the in and out functions from a safe distance. You got your wiring harness, fuse protected. Really, the last thing I want to go over is just the measurements here of the unit and the base.We're going to take a look at the mounting plate. Measures around 8 3/4 inches that direction. Then side to side, this direction. It measures around 3 and . inaudible 00:03:54 say about 3 7/8 inches side to side. When it comes to the overall measurements of the unit, if we take a measurement of the overall length . I'm going to measure from the back of the unit to the front of the unit, and I'm getting a measurement of about 10 3/4 inches. The overall height, tallest point, which is right here at this point, I'm going to say that that measures about 8, maybe 8 1/4 inches tall. Then the overall width, going edge to edge . to the outer edge of this handle here. I'm going to say that's about 8 1/4 inches wide. That's going to do it for today's look at the Dutton Lainson StrongArm electric winch.

perfect for winching a Beechcraft Bonanza into an airplane hangar - slow is safe, being able to freewheel the cable out saves time
3rd installation pulls a Cessna 180 just fine
they last for years, even in unheated barns in Chicagoland

DuttonLainson is a quality product, is my second one, first one went 15 years in salt water conditions. E-Trailer was excellent to deal with. One thing, dont care for the strap, switched to cable.

Shopped around a lot before I bought this. My boat is heavy (7500 lb) and the wench I had struggled. I took a chance on this as it was rated for the weight. I used the Anderson style connectors and installed a breaker near the battery. Pulled new wire rated for the amp draw. I couldnt be happier! This thing is a beast! Has no prob pulling my boat and cant see that it struggles at all. Highly reccomend. Photo is during installation. I put a cover over it due to my anchor comes close when launching and didnt want it to hit.

I purchased this winch to replace a Fulton K2550 manual winch on my ham radio tower. My tower is 54 ft tall when extended and 21 ft when retracted. It takes about 170 turns of the winch to raise/lower the tower. I removed the hand winch and placed the D-L SA9010AC winch in the existing mounting holes. I like this winch since it comes with a stainless hub since it will be used outside. This winch has a 2700 lb load rating. I am lifting around 700 lbs. This winch comes with no cable or freewheeling clutch. I reused the 1/4" stainless cable on the winch. I raised the tower and it took 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Lowering took 2 minutes. Well within the maximun run time of 3 minutes. The cable length winched was 17 ft. I have raised and lowered the tower several times to work on the antenna's and it worked properly every time. Attached are several pictures of the installation. I already recommended this winch to another ham operator.

I too am considering this winch. I have a US towers 455, about the same height you reference, that came with a Fulton 1550 and I have upgraded to a 2550 and then a 3000. But still takes too much effort. So my question is: are you still happy with this winch? How long have you had it? Any issues at all?Thanks,
Joer S.

Hi Fred,Yes, I am still happy with the winch. It has been on a couple months so far. Only comment I forgot was, the optional cover for the winch is very snug when you have to keep the remote and gfi plug covered. I think I will be making a separate waterproof cover for those two parts so the winch cover will fit better

Actually, I have become dissatisfied with the Fulton 3000. I tried attaching a Hawg drill like so many have suggested. It worked the first summer, but after a winter exposure, the drill tore it up this spring. I have spent the last few weeks investigating motorized winches and finally ordered the Stong Arm Dutton-Liason. It looks very much like a 2550 with a cover and ac motor and is stainless mostly. It hasnt come yet so I will let you know next year how it is doing.

Thanks for the reply Fred. I have spoken with my contacts and Fulton and he informed me that this winch is not intended to be used with any electric drill. This is becuase of the additional friction that using the drill exert is more than what the winch is intended to handle, and can cause damage to the winch.

Will (my phone contact) was especially knowledgeable on the winch I was calling about. He helped me with a few concerns one of them being the mounting plate was the same as the winch I was replacing therefore I did not need to buy that item. Best of all he got it on the UPS pickup even though it was after 6:30 PM and I benefited from his effort for sure! I will spread the word about ETRAILER.

Installed cables. 35A breaker is not insulated and required additional cable to connect to modern battery terminal - so had to buy an insulated breaker. On first use, the small gear on the motor drive shaft fell off because it was installed at the factory without a snap ring. Luckily I found it and fashioned a snap ring for temporary use to load the boat (see picture). Then learned the clutch was set excessively low - would not pull anything close to 1000 pounds. Manual says to not adjust clutch more than 20 degrees, but that would not pull as much as a 2000 lb ratchet strap. I see the other good reviews on this product, but clearly mine was built with some serious QC issues. Hard day on the boat ramp. Grateful for the help and patience of fellow boaters. I am beyond the 60 days to return this product since I bought and installed it over the winter to enjoy this boating season.

Put this winch on my Ranger 620 boat trailer a year ago and love it! Haven't had a single problem and it helps trailering when I fish alone. I ran power and ground from my truck battery to a back bumper plug, and have a separate removable cable (shown in pic) to connect truck plug to the winch plug. Grounding to the truck didn't work for me. I have another spare cable and plug rolled up and attached to my trolling motor battery for when my buddies drive. Winch prevents power loading and drawing sand into the motor. DL24055 adapter plate was needed and I put a coupler lock up through the middle of the winch to prevent theft and I bought a cover (shown in pic) to keep the rain out. etrailer sales and support are absolutely fabulous! They helped me figure all this out.

This seems like a pretty good winch. It's powerful enough for my purposes and I like the switch on the side instead of the wired remote.
My only complaint has to do with the way I'm using it. The cable winds onto the spindle without guidance so, as it winds and unwinds, the cable tends to slip side to side over already-wound cable which, certainly, must be damaging to the cable. I think I'll have to replace the cable before long.
I'm thinking I should have gotten the winch with the strap instead of the cable but then, I wouldn't be able to run the strap through a pulley for purposes of lifting leverage.

I am a 77 year old man and having to hand winch my small sailboat up on a shore ramp that I have. It was getting to be a bit much, so I decided to look into a 12volt winch. The Dl25200 fit the bill, works great. I have a 12volt battery next to it and a 10 , watt solar charger to keep the battery up, I hope. Time will tell. The service at etrailer was great, good price and fast shipping. Thanks

To whom it may concern,
The power cable that came with the winch is 4' short. It was mounted on the front of a boat trailer and I have a full size pick up.

Works as it should. Mounted it on vertical pwc lift replacing handwheel. Has pwc up in 30 seconds. Was easy to mount with just two holes. Switch requires some force to operate but not a big deal. Would definitely recommend this for this type of application.

What a fantastic experience, I called with a couple of questions before I ordered the winch (very helpful). Then ordered on website,I got updates about everything happening with shipping,I think it was delivered in three days,faster than I figured. I installed it on a jet ski lift, it works great,(no more hand cranking). Just one minor issue the in/out switch sticks out of the cover a bit and will not stay in all the way.It works fine and does not affect operation. I am not sure what to do yet.

Richard

The installation on the new trailer was very easy. The winch works as well as I expected. My only problem with it is that you cant travel with only the winch holding the boat so you have to come up with another tie down method. I used a 2 ratchet strap to secure the boat while traveling. Just another step I wasnt expecting.

I installed this winch as a replacement for the standard winch on my Magic Tilt trailer for my 21ft. SeaFox. I replaced the winch so that my wife would not have to hand crank when helping me load the boat. I only wish I'd done it sooner! It works like a charm, the install was simple and it has held up well. I keep the winch covered with a tarp to keep the rain off of it and I'm sure that has helped. The SeaFox weighs about 3000# plus the weight of the motor, fuel and whatever other junk we've got onboard. If you are looking for a good electric winch to make your life easier, I recommend this one.

- Availability of Dutton Lainson Strongarm Winch that Can be Used for Vertical LiftingI spoke with my contact at Dutton Lainson and she stated that the StrongArm Electric Davit Winch, # DL25720, would work well for vertical lift as the winch does not have a clutch. I have included a link to the installation details for the winch below.
view full answer... - Availability of the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch without Clutch # DL25721Yes, we do have the Dutton-Lainson # DL25721, Electric winch without clutch available. It is just like the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25720, that you were looking at but without the clutch. This winch will be suitable for short-distance vertical lifting applications, but not involving people, or loads over where people could be present.

Glad to hear they are working well for you, Rusty! And cool planes! I had an uncle that rebuilt a Cessna when I was a kid (not sure which model, but I think it was a 180). Never got a chance to go up in it, but always wanted to. Is flying a business or a hobby?
