Overview

A boat ramp or driveway, with a trailer waiting for a hull, is where this hand-crank winch works, winding a polyester strap through a ratchet with a brake and heat-treated gears.

The two-way ratchet with a neutral position makes it easy to take up slack or let the strap run out, and the heat-treated carbon steel brake and gears are built for load control. It is manual only, and the listing gives no mounting pattern or hardware details.

Who it's for

Trailer owners loading and retrieving boats with a hand crank get a strap winch with a brake and ratchet. Owners of heavier boats, or anyone who wants powered winching, should size up or choose an electric model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two-way ratchet with neutral
  • Heat-treated steel brake and gears
  • Long polyester strap
  • Snap hook included
Cons
  • Manual cranking only
  • Mounting details not listed
  • Capacity limits boat size

Performance notes

Gear reduction turns crank effort into pulling force, so a person can draw a boat up the trailer rollers. The brake holds the load when the crank is released, and the neutral position of the ratchet lets the strap be pulled out freely. The rated strap capacity caps the load.
