Recommended Winch For Winching 2700lb Car Into Enclosed Car Trailer
Updated 02/10/2021 | Published 02/07/2021
Question:
I will be winching a car into my enclosed trailer that weighs just under 2700lbs, what level of winching power/weight pulling would be adequate or best. I would also like to know if wire cable is required for this job or is synthetic rope better? it seems that the rope option would be more user friendly, whats your suggestion?

Expert Reply:
I would be happy to recommend a winch for your enclosed car trailer.
I recommend the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead - 4,400 lbs # BDW15020 which will be plenty strong to roll your 2700lb car into the trailer as it has a 44000lb rolling load rating. The synthetic rope is a great choice over a wire cable due to the safety should the cable ever brake you will not nearly the same potential for injury, and it being easier to work with.
I included a video of the # BDW15020 for you to take a look at.
