Expert Reply:
Using an electric winch such as # 1120210 could work for your large 600 pound trailer door. You will need to use pulley blocks though because you need at least a 12 inch straight line pull in front of the winch.
For a regular pulley block you can use # CU881081. Depending on where the you mount the winch you may need more than 1.
