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 |
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 strong arm electric winch with remote and pulley block. This is a 12 volt DC powered winch for horizontal pulling applications that will be powered by your vehicle's battery. I can see where this would be great to mount, perhaps on a trailer, and you're needing to pull heavy items onto your trailer, such as a vehicle. And, but I, I think there's gonna be multiple ways in which you can use this.
It has a load capacity of 3000 pounds and a double line capacity of 4,500 pounds. And that rating is based on a 10 foot pole. It does feature this built-in detachable, handheld remote with a 10 foot cord for loading and unloading. And it's really easy to connect this. You just need to line up the pins on the plug and it'll plug in very easily and then this remote will work for you.
And so just a great feature a very convenient feature that this winch offers. Now the high torque, 12 volt DC motor includes a circuit breaker and overload protection, and it comes with this quick connect wiring harness. And let me see, if I can show you how easy that is to connect. So I'm gonna turn this around and just line the plug up here. And as you can see it very easily connects, and just as easily disconnects.
It has a 25 foot positive battery wire and an eight foot ground wire. Now this has a dynamic motor brake and mechanical friction brake. The dynamic brake helps bring the load to an immediate halt without coasting and the mechanical brake locks the reel to hold the load. The spring loaded clutch lever allows you to release the load without power providing smooth load control from locked or free wheel position. So right now, I have it in the engaged position as indicated here at the top panel.
And then when you switch it over that way, you will be in the free wheel position. And then you'll be able to pull that line out but it is a spring loaded, automatic return to the block position when released. So that's another nice feature as you can see, it just will spring back to the engaged position. And that free wheel option, like I said, will allow you to remove that cable by hand and position there where you need it. Now, this has a flexible high strength, seven strand by 19 gauge galvanized aircraft cable, and a pulley block and snap hook are included for that double line pulling. And the cable is, as we said, 50 foot long making it great for double line operation. The safety snap hook will keep the load securely attached. You're not gonna have to worry about whatever you hook this to becoming easily detached. And the wire cable can be swapped out for a two inch wide strap if you so desire. Now, this double line pulling is achieved by taking this hook and hooking it somewhere close to the winch. And then you will pull with this pulley block and snap hook. And that's how you're going to obtain that greater pulling rate of 4,500 pounds. Now an emergency crank handle comes standard and there is a a cap right here that you would just simply remove. And then you, that will give you access to where you would be able to use that crank in case of power failure, and the heat treated gears are gonna provide smoother, quieter ride and strength and the precision needle bearings and high load areas create low friction and promote longer life. Let me see if I can flip this over to the bottom here just to show you the dye formed base and that's adapted for quick mounting applications and the high impact weather resistant case is gonna provide excellent protection for the internal components while at the same time being safer than open reel models. Now, the brush stainless steel front plate that you see here is gonna offer superior rust resistance. This is made in the USA. Just some other specs to go over with you is the current draw is 70 amps at 12 volts. And it is important to note that electric winches should be used intermittently. The maximum continuous run time is four minutes. The gear ratio is 570 to one. And again, we said the cable was 50 foot long, and it is 7 and 32 of an inch in diameter. And the load speed with no load and a full reel is five feet per minute. And with a full load and full reel is two feet per minute. And just some overall dimensions of the winch itself. The overall length we're sitting at about 11 inches. And then the overall width at the widest point we're sitting at about 9 inches. And then the overall height at the tallest point is sitting right at about 8 inches. Well, 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 remote and a spring-loaded clutch for releasing cargo without using power.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.
Arrived in timely manner . Easy to install. Replaced hand crank on my boat trailer with this electric winch . Getting older and have some back issues . Works perfectly. Rather than connecting and wiring to car battery I use a portable battery in back of my car .
Do you have a question about this Trailer Winch?
