Trailer Winch

Jeff Goss · 01-10-2013, 08:36 PM

What is everyone using for a winch in their enclosed trailer?

I bought a 24' Pace Shadow trailer last year, and really want to install a winch. Sort out of necessity, as I seem to break every damn part on my Super Stocker and have had to push it onto the trailer too many times-LOL!

Any help would be appreciated as to what winch to get-to load a 3600 lb Wagon-and maybe pictures of how you installed it.

Thanks very much for any help!

Jeff,

I would recommend a Superwinch 5000. I have used it to pull my 57 Belair on an open trailer and my enclosed trailer. The car is all original and I am sure it weighs much more than your SS wagon.

Jeff,

I can also recommend the Surperwinch 5000. I've had mine for a year and a half and it works like a dream. Get the wireless remote to make loading even easier.

Maybe over kill but Harbor Freight has a 12V winch 12K # w/remote on sale for $299 tomorrow only.

I also have the Superwinch 5000. Do yourself a favor and take it apart BEFORE you install it and grease it up! I had mine for a year when it started squealing like a stuck pig. I called the company and they said to take it apart and grease it up real good! Really?! Anyway I did and it has been perfect ever since. Jim

I have a Superwinch 5000 and I am very pleased with it. It comes with 50' of 1/4" cable and a 30' remote control. You can also purchase a wireless remote control with is very nice. I paid about $380.00 for it from Amazon.
