The Deka 2 Gauge Professional Service Booster Cables, # DW00161, can be used to power your hitch mounted winch, but it wasn't really designed for that use and I think there is a better option.

I recommend the easy disconnect system # BDW20133, that gives you better contacts on both ends than a clamp will allow. The easy connect, disconnect feature allows you a much more convenient option.

I have attached an installation video for you of a similar setup.
