Will The Dutton-Lainson Winch Work For Loading a 600 LB Motorcycle on Trailer with Drill  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The winch you referenced is the Dutton-Lainson Winch, part # DL14730. It has a capacity of 2000 lbs, so it will certainly handle the 600 lbs you mentioned the motorcycle weighs. This winch features a reversible ratchet, hand brake, and has a quick attach handle. I would also recommend the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, part # DL24249. This strap is 2 inches wide and 25 feet long, and has the safety hook attached. The strap has a capacity of 2600 lbs. This combination does not have a drill compatibility, but I do have another option for that.

The Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL11004 will allow you to use that same strap and then you can use a 5/8 inch socket drill adapter to give you the ability to use a drill.

You need to determine where you want to attach the winch to the trailer. If you have a straight line trailer and has a 2 inch tongue, then I would recommend the CE Smith Winch Stand, part # CE31013G. It is 30 inches tall and features 14 mounting holes, which allows you to adjust the height of the winch. I would recommend you use bolts that would go through the tongue, providing more stability for the stand and winch.

I have linked you to a couple of FAQ help articles about winches.
