Dimensions of Square Opening on Replacement Removable Handle Kit for Dutton-Lainson DLB-Series Winch  

Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 08/28/2024

Question:

I have a 1978 EZ Loader 5.4 Boat Trailer that is fitted with a Valleyinch brand, Model 5411, 2500 winch. The removable winch handles for it, are gone. The winders are 1-1/16 inch square. Is the square receiver for this DL6454 Replacement Handle also 1-1/6 inch square? Please see photo attached...

Hi Bob; the square opening on the Replacement Removable Handle Kit for Dutton-Lainson DLB-Series Brake Winches # DL6454 measures 1-1/4" so it isn't an exact match. Even if it was it wouldn't attach very well to what you have as is. The best option at this point is to replace the winch with a new one like the Dutton-Lainson # DL14825 or # DL15721.

Hey Bob, how did things go with replacing the winch on your EZ Loader trailer? It’d be great to hear which option you went with and how it performed. Your update could make it easier for others with older Valley winches to find a good match.
