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.
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 degree) | 3.40 |
| 30 (17 degrees) | 2.61 |
| 50 (26 degrees) | 1.86 |
| 70 (35 degrees) | 1.53 |
| 100 (45 degrees) | 1.29 |
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.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this Dutton-Lainson StrongArm electric winch with pulley block. This 12-volt DC powered winch is compact for use in tight spaces and it's going to be perfect for your mobile applications or around the water. It has a load capacity of 3,000 pounds and a double line capacity of 4,500 pounds. And that rating is based on a 10-foot pole. This high torque 12-volt DC motor also includes a circuit breaker overload protection, and it comes with a quick connect wiring harness, that you see right here. And I'm gonna plug that in right here to the side of our winch.
So, plugs in nice and easy, and it has a 25-foot long positive battery wire, and an 8-foot ground wire. Now, I'm gonna go ahead and plug this into my power source that I have here underneath my table. Just to give you a brief demonstration of how this winch works. So, let me make sure that I'm safely connected here. And then, this does have a current draw of 70 amps at 12 volts.
And electric winches should be used intermittently. The maximum continuous run time is 4 minutes. So I'm gonna go ahead and put this in the unload position. So, I just wanted to give you a brief demonstration. Then I'm gonna bring this back in a load position.
So, it's going to be a very simple operation. Once you have the wiring harness plugged in that's gonna give you the ability to load and unload. So, very simple to use. And this has a dynamic motor brake and mechanical friction brake. The dynamic brake is going to help bring your load to an immediate halt without coasting.
And the mechanical brake is going to lock the reel to hold the load. Now, this spring loaded clutch lever- I'm gonna go ahead and give you an overhead view. Maybe you can see that just a little bit better. Is going to allow you to release the load without power providing smooth load control from locked or free wheel position. And right now I have it in the free wheel position as you can see. But this does have a spring loaded return where it's going to allow it to return back to the engaged or the locked position. So it's gonna automatically return to the locked position when released. Now the free wheel option of course, is going to allow you to pull this out by hand, as you can see. And then when you put it into the locked or the engaged position, and that's going to engage that or lock that into place. Now this does have a flexible high-strength 7-strand by 19 gauge galvanized aircraft cable with this snap hook. And this cable is 50-feet long and 7/32 of an inch in diameter. And then the safety snap hook is going to keep your load securely attached. And then as I mentioned, this does include a pulley block with the snap hook that's going to be there for your double line pulling. And this combined with the 50-foot long cable is going to really make this ideal for that double line pulling. The wire cable can be swapped out for a 2-inch wide strap, if you so desire. This also includes an emergency crank handle. This comes standard so that you can use this winch in the event of a power failure. Here, let me turn this over here- turn this around real quick. We have a cap here that can be removed and that's where you can engage the emergency crank handle. Now, the heat treated gears are going to provide smoother quieter ride and greater strength. And the precision needle bearings in high load areas are going to create low friction and promote longer life. The gear ratio is 570:1 and the load speed with no load and a full reel is 5-feet per minute. And with a full load and a full reel, it's 2-feet per minute. The die formed base- let me see if I can give you a view of that here- is adapted for quick mounting applications. I do wanna point out that the measurements of the base hole pattern with diagrams can be found on this product page. So, if you're wondering about the measurements there you can find that with the diagram on this product page. The high impact weather resistant case is going to provide excellent protection for the internal components while at the same time being safer than open-reel models. And this brushed stainless steel front plate is gonna give you superior rust resistance. This is made here in the USA and the overall length of this winch at the longest point, we're sitting at about 11-inches long. And then the overall width and it's wider here in the back, we are sitting right at about 9-inches wide. And then the overall height at the tallest point we're sitting right about 8-inches tall. Now, an important note that I wanna make is all the Lainson StrongArm electric winches are built for multi-purpose hauling and pulling operations. They are not to be used, though, as hoist for lifting, supporting, or transporting people or, for handling loads over areas where people could be present. Instructions are included with this winch. And that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

This winch includes a 50' cable that increases the load capacity with double-line-pulling capability. Winch is powered by your vehicle battery and includes a Load/Unload switch and a spring-loaded clutch for releasing cargo without using power.Unit came super fast. Good product
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.
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.
The product is great. I replaced a 2001 Strong Arm with this 2024 Strong Arm on my Floe Vertical lift. Having the remote control built in is very nice.
Works good. The cable unravels and creates a little bird nest if it doesn't have tension. A strap would be better, but more prone to breaking I suppose.
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.
They were exceptionally helpful in deciding which winch to buy. I got this for my pontoon boat on a slide bumper trailer. I wanted to make sure it would have enough power to pull my 24 ft pontoon. This winch is honestly one of the best purchases I have made for this boat. It easily pulls my boat up onto the trailer. Total time to load about 2 mins. I have had many envious looks at my electric winch. Thank you again. For the help in deciding which one to get.
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.
Works great, fit my trail weight boat trailer, with a 24 foot pontoon
Received the winch and all looks good. I ordered a new boat trailer so the winch hasn't been installed yet. Will let you know when it's installed
E-trailer service team, Lauren, was excellent. When my critical delivery delayed she came up with several options to get me a new part on time to support my need.
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.
I love the winch for the strap is a great upgrade than the power winch with metal cable which would rust, wire strands would break off, and cut your hands, and the cable would not retrieve back on winch even. The cons I see is the strap has become dried out after use on the end at the hook and it wants to double over on same area. Another concern I have is you have to tighten the clutch knob very hard when retrieving in or it will back off and free spin back out. Just have to wait and see if this becomes a problem in the future.
Works great! The only thing that would make it better is to make the tensioner knob easier to grip when your hands are wet
Absolutely a great product I have used before. The trailer is a great company to deal with.
Easy to install, works great. Moves a 650 lb load with ease. Noah at customer service was very helpful and professional
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
Just got installed so haven’t been to the lake to try it. I’m hoping it will make it easier to recover my boat when I’m by myself.
Perfect replacement for my old winch. Took only a few minutes to install.
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.
Order filled and shipped same day! Perfect upon arrival.
Installed this electric winch on an existing DavitMaster davit. Easy install utilizing existing manual winch plate and hardware. Salesperson was very knowledgable and helpful. Very satisfied with product.
Item was shipped extremely fast. Installed it shortly after delivery and all is perfect so far.
nice product
Yes I finished the winch installation, I have not tried at the boat ramp,
however I ran the winch and am very pleased. I am also pleased at the way your company does business. Thank you. George you asked for pictures, please find enclosed pictures.
