TR Industrial600 lb. Trailer Winch

Excellent winch for an archery draw board!

Works great for us

Worked great

I have bought four of them and I use them to raise tarpaulins at my summer bungalow. As I said above they are quite heavy and rugged. They have an ratchet as you wind in the rope or wire but they don't have a brake so be careful unwinding under load.

Seems really well built and smooth operation

I was disappointed when I opened it, it is small. Purchased to replace a 2 way ratcheting boat winch that quit working and that I never liked. No reason for a 2 way ratcheting winch on a boat unless your unloading a huge boat on a very step landing. So I wanted a single ratcheting winch that's why I bought this one. They make bigger ones but thought this 600lb one is what I needed, if I had to go back would have purchased bigger 1 way rachet winch from somewhere else being this company only offers bigger 2 way winch. But all I use my winch for is holding boat while in transport. I only winch my boat a foot are less each trip being I pull my boat all the way on trailer useing my motor. I got this winch installed on a aluminum boat trailer, 16ft boat with 60horse outboard. I put 15ft 2inch strap on with no issue, I spilt strap inserted one end trough hole in side of winch tide knot in it and winched it up with no issue . Being a Ole country boy I know how to make things work. .....winch is small but seems well built works great and I feel will be just fine on my boat. Only disappoint is on my part ordering a winch to small for my liking but 5 stars cause it will work and it seems to be a good winch.

The action on this winch is very smooth and quiet as compared to my previous one. Works very well with synthetic rope.

I used to have 2 steel cables between 2 different trees. One with a suet cage & a birdfeeder and the other one with a suet cage & 2 birdfeeders. To raise & lower the cable for filling. I had used a home-made pull down as shown in the left pic. Due to squirrel problems, I decided to have more space between the feeders buy running a new steel cable between two different trees that are ~ 30 ft apart & mount all 5 feeders on one line. In doing so, the added weight of all the feeders made it very difficult to raise the cable with the home-made device so I ordered the winch. Now it takes very little effort to raise & lower the 5 feeders. Very satisfied with this winch & I highly recommend it.
