Question:
I need to install a winch to power in and power out a bass boat from my garage to narrow a driveway to back it into the garage. There is a slight incline I have a Trailer Valet but the wheels slip when I get the back wheels to the garage entrance where the slope is located. I would be mounting the winch to the concrete floor of the garage. Is this winch suitable?

Expert Reply:
For a winch mounted in a building that would be powered by an outlet you would need an AC power winch. We have great solutions for that, but the part # 1120210 that you referenced is designed to run off 12 volt DC power.
The Dutton Lainson winch part # DL24872 would work well as it has a 2,700 lb capacity.
