Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch w/ Remote and Pulley Block

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.
