Trailer Winch for 3000 Pound Car, Mounting and Wiring

The S3000 winch, # 1430200, is a good choice for pulling a 3,000 pound vehicle onto your trailer. With a rolling load (your vehicle) on a 17 degree slope (typical range for a trailer ramp) the winch will have a 7,825 pound rolling load capacity.

For trailer mounting these winches are mounted directly to the trailer frame with bolts that go through the mounting plate provided on the winch. If you would like the winch to be removable you could mount it to the SuperWinch Hitch Mounted Winch Plate with Handle and mount a receiver such as the 2 inch hitch Combo Bar, # E-9, to the trailer.

For wiring the winch to the vehicle you can use the # SW1520, Winch Trailer Wiring Kit with quick disconnects, to use the vehicle battery to power the winch or use a separate battery as you suggested. I have provided links to a video of a winch being installed on a trailer and to some information on wiring and selecting an electric winch for you to review.
