Trailer Winch
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 Goss 6990 SS/MA |

Re: Trailer Winch
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. Sean

Re: Trailer Winch
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.

Re: Trailer Winch
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

Re: Trailer Winch
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.
