Dutton-Lainson 17027 Manual Trailer Winch, 1,900 lb Capacity, 20 ft Strap

The Dutton-Lainson 17027 is a manual trailer winch built for horizontal pulling applications such as loading a boat or trailer. A 9-1/2 inch offset handle with an ergonomic cushioned grip makes cranking easier over extended use, and the reversible ratchet lets the operator wind the strap onto the drum in either direction. When the ratchet pawl is disengaged, the winch freewheels so the strap can be pulled out quickly by hand. Included is a 20 foot long, 2 inch wide polyester strap with a snap hook, rated to handle loads up to 1,900 lbs.

Durability comes from a powder coated, zinc plated base and a reel and hardware finished in zinc plated TUFFPLATE, both intended to resist corrosion in marine environments. The gears are laminated high carbon steel that has been heat treated for added strength, and the drive shaft bearings are permanently lubricated so the winch requires no routine maintenance. The welded reel uses rigid construction with copper brazed drive shaft gears, and load matched gear ratios are designed to make cranking easier. Slotted mounting holes allow for quick and easy installation. This winch is designed for horizontal pulling only and is not intended for vertical lifting. It is made in the USA.
