Hi again. Is the 1145220 Terra 45 winch strong enough to pull a 4000 pound car on a trailer? Thank Jerry

I would say yes. If it struggles add a snatch block and double the pull strength . It is a great winch.

Works great on my trailer. It's nice because of the low profile. You can pull a car all the way up to it. Depending on what you are pulling, I would advise mounting it to the frame or creating a heavy steel platform to mount it too. Don't trust wood to hold it against pulling force.

I use the winch that I bought for that purpose and it does not given me any problems but regarding its safety I think I am in no position to answer that .. Check the manual

Every set up will be different, no doubt about it. That said, we pulled a 4000 Lb. Trailer 3000 miles with a 3/4 ton suburban and after returning to Mich. I added a second friction hitch which did improve the handling. At the cost involved, two is better than one in my opinion. Hope this helps you!

No I don't, but I use a lot of bungie cords, different sizes from 3/16, 3/8, & 7/16, and all of them are strong, never broke any! I'm assuming 1/2 inch would pull a car if you needed to? I'm sure it will meet your need. I used 3/8 & 7/16 to hold a tarp down on the top of a 10 X 20 building and they lasted over 6 months. Ken Hockin Alvin, Texas

Yes, it will work as long as the amp load of the winch isn't too high. World's better than the heavy rocker

Mike, this item can easily hold up to 800 lbs easily and it will outlast the jack it's used on. It's built solidly and keeps a trailer steady. I drilled a hole on bottom to release any water accumulation.....

I've pulled some very heavy (600 pound) stumps up an incline. I have to think if it could do that it could move a car on wheels. the four ton would be overkill, and so heavy it's difficult to work with. We used to use an American-made 2 ton come-a-long to pull trucks out of mud holes, so I have to think this thing could do what you want.

It does not have a read out.. I pull a car trailer loaded with a 4000 lb racecar on it.. And sometimes I haul atvs as well.. Once I have my trailer loaded with what ever I'm pulling that day.. I usually adjust it to wherever I feel the trailer brakes grabbing pretty good but not locking up the wheels when I'm leaving the house.. It's a very simple process..

It is very heavy duty . I used to winch some cars & did the job. I needed something that would take 1/2 cable . This fit the bill

The winch handler you are talking about has extra holes drilled and it matched up fine with the 4500 lb winch I bought at tsc. even if it didn't, it would be easy enough to drill a couple holes to make it work fine. This handler has gone up a little compared to what I paid for it a month ago. it is still less expensive than buying off the shelf. if you have to pay shipping then it will just about be a wash.

The description says it can handle 5,000 lbs trailer weight & 500 lbs tongue weight so you should be ok. It is stout & the welds on mine are well done.

The previous answer is correct. The mounting plate is the key. Winch is excellent.

Jane, Short answer - No ! It handles loads well - I use it for lifting a heavy telescope ~ 100lbs and the load required to stop reverse running is relatively small. But you really need a third hand if there is nothing handy to anchor the long tail cord. Ron Maddison. June 10th 2013

I received an E-mail asking for someone to provide input to this question. Based on the manufacturer's model number listed on this ad I would say that it's the 3200 LB model. the number following the FW FWXXXX is the capacity rating for the winch. However, I really think you need to have the seller respond to verify that this is the correct manufacturer model number. Please see details on these winches at: http://www.fultonperformance.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=2&parentid;=7900&catid;=7920∂=0

I haven't found the DC current rating of the controller box, but I estimate that it won't handle the current of a 13000 lb winch, at least when it's heavily loaded. You _could_ use this controller to drive the coils of a couple of 12V heavy-duty starter-starter type relays from an auto parts store, and hook the large contacts of those relays to your winch. Then there would be almost no limit to the size of winch you can control. An auto mechanic/tinkerer type person could hook it up for you. Alternately, look for a heavier duty remote control...

I would definitely not recommend this for a winch. This is not a power supply that will give much Ah power especially sustained, this is a light duty for basically LED lighting only. You will do nothing but fry out the power supply.
