Our lightweight winches will range between approximately 7 and 8 lbs. I recommend taking a look at the Dutton-Lainson 1,400 lb winch, # DL15303.

The Dutton-Lainson winch is the heavier winch between the two at approximately 8 lbs and comes with Dutton-Lainsons zinc TUFFPLATE finish for corrosion protection. This winch has a 4.4:1 gear ratio and a 1,400 lb weight capacity.
