Question:
Hi I need to mount a winch in my garage to pull a trailer up the driveway. Trailer weighs 600 -750lbs. Driveway is about 12, 40ft long. Looks like this winch would work, but wondering if you have other suggestions. Really I’d like a 120v plug in to the wall rather than messing with keeping and maintaining a spare battery just for the winch, but it looks like there aren’t many options or they are much more expensive. Also can you confirm the remote control part SW43GR will work with this winch. Regards

Hey Phillip. The Superwinch Terra Series ATV Winch item # SW1125230 definitely has the ability to do what you're wanting it to. It has a 50' rope and 2,500 lbs line pull. You are correct the 120v winches like item # DL25514 are going to run you about twice as much especially when you throw in a remote.
I can confirm that the Wireless Remote Control Kit for Superwinch 12V Electric Winches item # SW43GR does indeed work with the Superwinch item # SW1125230.
