Winch Recommendation for Race Car Trailer with 2,500 lb Car

Updated 11/27/2017 | Published 11/25/2017

Question:

A wench to mount inside an enclosed trailer out of the weather to pull 2500lb race car in and out by myself. Would like poly/nylon line instead of steel cable. Other important things would be 12v, automatic brake, power in and out, and have a decent line speed. Thank you for assistance.

The Bulldog Winch part # BDW15020 would be a great option for your setup. This is a 4,400 lb 12 volt winch which uses a synthetic rope instead of a steel cable. It powers in and out and has a built in brake as well.

The winch also moves at 19 feet per minute when there is a lighter load like your race car. For rolling loads like a car this has a 44,000 lb capacity so it would easily move your car and do it quickly as well.
