Electric Trailer Winch for Pulling 13,000 lb Skid Loader Onto Trailer

Updated 02/16/2021 | Published 02/12/2021

Question:

I am looking for an electric trailer winch that would need to pull up to a 13000 lb skidloader onto a trailer. Is there a winch you would recommend for this application?

You will need a heavy-duty winch in order to pull a 13,000 lb skid loader onto your trailer, and we do have a really good option. Assuming your skid loader is going to be a rolling load instead of a static load, you can use a winch with a line pull capacity of less than 13,000 lbs because a rolling load does not require the same amount of force to winch.

So with that in mind I recommend the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote - 12,000 lbs # BDW10040.

This has a 12,000 lb static load capacity but will be able to haul a rolling load of 13,000 lbs, and even has a remote for ease of use. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch - Wireless Remote - 12,000 lbs # BDW10040.
