Question:
What is the difference between the Curt C45Zj and the Fulton Trailer Winch - F142430? Are both winches designed to be used with steel cables, or can they be used with nylon straps also?

Expert Reply:
Hey Rich! The Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 can only be used with a cable. The Curt # C45ZJ can be used with a cable or a strap. The Fulton also includes a handbrake. Outside of that they are pretty similar in terms of capacity, hub size, gear ratio, and warranty. The Fulton winch comes with the Z-Max 600 zinc finish as well so it will hold up longer compared to the Curt.
What are you planning to use the winch for?
