Economical hand or electric winch - I need a winch to load my 2400lb. 31 Ford pickup on my car hauler in case of breakdown preventing me from driving it on. This is for emergency use only. The trailer ramp is 53” long and the trailer floor is 20 inches high 22 degrees

Expert Reply:
A great option for an economical electric winch for your car hauler to pull your 2,400 lb Ford in case of emergency is the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW15017 because its compact design won't take up much room, it has a load-holding brake, free-spooling clutch and attached remote control for ease of use. It is also going to be highly durable due to its powder-coated steel body, steel mounting plate and zinc-plated wire rope.
The Bulldog Winch # BDW15017 has a 1.5-horsepower, 12-volt DC motor and has a line pull rating of 3,400 lbs.
