1140232 Winch2Go 12V DC Electric Portable Utility Winch 4000lb(1814.4kg) Single Line Pull with Steel Mounting Plate Integrated Hawse Fairlead 7/32" x 47' Synthetic Rope Handheld Remote

I was a little dubious after reading the negative responses about the latches, but went ahead and ordered. I agree the latches on the lid are not the sturdiest, but there are handles on the ends of the box that you can use to pick up the unit and the latches only need to close the lid. I run a lawn mower repair shop and our trailer sits outside, so didn't want a winch to set out in the weather all the time. I have used it several times to load large zero turn units. Works great. I use one of the included straps to wrap around the tongue of the trailer and attach to the unit with the included clevis pins. I run the winch rope through the pulley and back to the front of the trailer. I attach the second strap to the unit and to the hook on the pulley. I carry a jump pack to try to jump start the mower and if that doesn't work, power the winch with it to pull the mower onto the trailer. Pulls very heavy units on the trailer easily.

I have a 580 lb. horse drawn carriage that I pull up ramps into a large van. I tried at least 4 of those "portable winches" that cost from $60 to $100. Even though these are rated at 2000 pounds and should exceed the requirements, in my experience, they were fragile and often broke after just a few pulls. The last one regurgitated some of its internal parts before going into whine mode that meant no pulling ever again.i This is not ok. I need something more dependable. And less likely to cause bleedy hands from frayed wires. This Superwinch Winch2Go is rated at 4000 lbs pull. and has the cable (not wires). I have tried it out several times and am very pleased with how well it does its job. A small problem was the power leads were too short to reach my battery. So I purchased a heavy duty jumper cable (4 AWG) and lengthened them with that. Even though I forgot to wear the supplied gloves, it was a minor joy to not hurt my hands with this cable. Given the choice, I very much recommend this over the wire winches. The configuration of the box lended itself well to my anchoring requirements. I am pleased with the quality of everything in this well-thought-out winch. Now I don't worry about being in the wilderness and being unable to load my carriage.

Used twice and snapped spool barrel right off. While pulling object that was only 800 pounds.

It works pretty much as expected and it's really handy to have around the property and in the truck during winter. I don't know how long the latches and top handle will last though. They really flex when you carry it, so I've taken to only using the side handles when I remember. A longer power cord would be nice also, I sometimes wind up using a set of heavy duty jumper cables as an extension.

Mechanic by trade. My driveway is pretty steep and I occasionally need to get a non running vehicle to the top. In the past I’ve used a tire wedged between vehicles to push them up. Pretty sketchy and always some paint rub. I priced a harbor freight winch with a plate, shackles, webbing, snatch block, and I could get close to the price of this kit. But that would be from 4 vendors, driving places, stupid coupons, etc. Like other reviews have stated the latches on the toolbox are plastic. Boo hoo at this price. It’s low cost because of things like this. Been holding up fine for me. Additionally, I found reviewers have stated that the wire wrote frays after repeated use. Any chineseium steel cable will do this. It’s why they make replacement cables. Again, y’all are shopping price here. I’ve used come-alongs in the past, I really regret not getting this earlier in life. Additionally, the box hold everything so you don’t misplace, damage a power lead or remote control if you put it away for some time between uses. I started engineering needs for this once I got it. No more laying under the trailer like a chump trying to rewire it.

I bought this unit lo pull my tractor out of a swampy areas. The tractor was sunk to the axel on one side. By securing the winch to the front of the tractor and looped the cable (via pulley and extra rope) to big tree, I was able to pull my tractor free. I was careful to do it in small bursts, so not to fry the motor. The unit operated as I hoped. The only thing I would change, is to order the apparatus with the rope instead of the cable. The cable shows signs of coming apart. This was mostly my fault, as I was not able to guide the cable properly as it was reeling in under load. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase.

I love this winch. Everything is nicely contained in the toolbox and protected from the weather when not in use. Installation was simple I bolted it to the deck of my trailer to an oversized 1/4” steel plate that was bolted to the trailer frame. I then bolted the winch to the steel plate and placed a second 1/4” steel plate under the decking to make it even more secure. It works great and has plenty of power. The synthetic rope is a little more expensive but very easy to handle. I’d give this 6 * if I could

I bought this just a week or so ago. When I pulled it out of the box, I was disappointed to see that the latches on the box were PLASTIC. The point of getting this together in a box is that it's durable, and you can take it anywhere and use it. Keep it in your truck or trailer tool box, etc. Yesterday, I put it to the test. I winched a '69 F250 on to my dovetail trailer. It performed effortlessly. It's good for rolling stock, I wouldn't try to drag a disabled vehicle or one with a flat tire. BTW, if you're not familiar with proper techniques on how to use a winch, read the owners manual. After securing the truck, I started to gather up and stow everything back in the winch box, and guess what, one of the latches was missing. I had to find it an put it back on the box, luckily, it was not broken. If these latches get broke or go missing, it's no longer a winch in a box. It's a winch with a broken lid. "Winch 2 Go" changes to "where did all the stuff for my winch go?" Come one Superwinch, spend a buck or two and add durable latches for the lid!

Great winch!!!!!!!!!! Works perfect!!!!!

works excellant pulls my seadoo into my toy hauler nice kit

Pulls dead sleds on to a sled deck without a complaint. Loads cars on to a trailer like the car isn’t even there. Easily outpulls the winch on my grizzly. Like everyone else, I feel the plastic box will be the failure point. Battery leads are ridiculously short. I guess to stay at the price point you can’t have everything.

This will save your back when loading heavy objects into the truck box. Just bring your ramp

The winch is handy and worked like advertised. But quick connectors are cheap and fragile, the connecter on the winch side broke first use. as I did not use winch right away it has already passed return date. Good Idea but poor quality connectors.
