How to Determine Handle Clearance for the Fulton F2 Fully Enclosed, 2-Speed Trailer Winch

Published 12/28/2018

Question:

I own a Nitro Z8 and think this would be a great upgrade to the factory winch.... This winch looks bigger that my factory and was wondering about clearance....... Any experience with that installation...??? Sent picture but unsure if its detailed enough to help.... Thanks,

Although we don't know exactly what kind of clearance you would have or if you would even have clearance, I did go out to the warehouse and took some measurements of the Fulton F2 # FW32000101 that you can use to determine if this will fit with your Nitro Z8.

The winch has an overall height of 7-3/4" and it is 9-1/2" long (front to back). If you measure from the highlighted mounting hole on the bottom about 2" up, 5-1/2" to the side this tells you about where the handle for the winch will sit. At the most the handle will have a radius of about 10". If you take these measurements you should be able to get a good idea as to if this will work for your application or not.
