Specifications

Capacity
1,200 lbs

Dutton-Lainson's DLB1205A is a trailer winch rated for 1,200 lbs, with a self-locking brake and an automatic friction brake that holds the load. It is made in the USA and handles both horizontal pulling and vertical lifting. A freewheel lever lets you pull the cable out by hand, and slotted mounting holes make fitting it easier. It needs a minimum operating load of 50 lbs to work properly.

Our take

The 1,200 lb rating comes with a 50 lb minimum operating load, so the friction brake needs real weight on the cable to work as intended. With a very light load on the cable, this winch is not promised to behave properly.
