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.

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.
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.

Today we're going to take a look at the Dutton Lainson StrongArm, 12 volt electric winch with the pulley block. Now this strong arm electric winch is used for horizontal pulling applications, has a 1,500 pound single line capacity, and if you use the pulley block, has a 2,200 pound double line capacity. Now this winch is powered by your vehicle's battery, using this included plugin wiring harness. This wiring harness will plug right into the side just like that. Does use a high torque 12 volt DC motor. Includes the circuit breaker overload protection right here on the harness, and this wiring harness has a 25 foot positive battery wire and an 8 foot ground wire.
The spring loaded clutch lever right over here on the side is for releasing a load without power. Provides a nice smooth load control from locked or free wheel position.If you push it into the free wheel option just like that, that'll let you pull the cable out by hand. And then when you just pull it out of free wheel, you can see it will automatically return to the engaged position when it's released from that free wheel mode. They do use heat treated gears to provide smoother, quieter ride, greater strength. The gear ratio on this winch is 189 to 1, does also offer a dynamic motor brake and mechanical friction brake.
The dynamic brake will help bring the load to immediate halt without coasting and the mechanical brake will lock the reel to hold the load. The cable it uses is a high strength seven strand, 19 gauge galvanized aircraft cable. It's 50 foot long, has three sixteenths diameter cable and it's great for double line operation.Does include the pulley and the hook for double line pulling, and when we say double line pulling, what you end up doing is you'll take this hook on this end, hook it to somewhere close to the base here and then you'll use this to pull this. So it'll get you a double line pulling. That's what will gets you the greater pulling rate.If you notice on the hooks themselves, they have the safety snap hooks, keeps the load securely attached on both hooks.
And this wire cable can be swapped out and use a two inch wide strap if you prefer. They do use precision needle bearings in high load areas, create low friction, promote longer life. And the other nice thing is if you have a power failure, they do include this emergency crank handle so you can manually operate the winch. Just pop out this plug right here, put the handle in there and you can operate the winch by hand.The base on this, let's see if I can just turn it over a little bit. Has a inaudible 00:02:26 form base, it's adapted for quick mounting applications.
The case that it's in is a nice high impact, weather resistant case. Provides excellent protection for the internal components so it is safer than the open rear models. On the very front here has a nice brushed stainless steel front plate for superior rust resistance. This winch is made in the USA.To go over the specs again, the single line capacity we mentioned is 1,500 pounds. When you use the pulley block, the double line capacity is 2,200 pounds, and that rating is based on 10 foot pole. The load speed in feet per minute. So if you have no load and a full reel at 16 feet per minute. If you have a full load and a full reel, it's four and a half feet per minute. And the current draw on this is 70 amps at 12 volts. And one note, the electric winch should be used intermittently. The maximum continuous run time is about four minutes. Does come with a nice owner's manual that'll describe all the features and how it runs, how to operate it. But that should do it for the review on the Dutton Lainson StrongArm, 12 volt electric winch with the pulley block.
