3000lbs car up the short ramps and dove tail, onto an open trailer. Need to mount as a removable when not needed. 110 volt would be great as there is a generator on the trailer tongue. What should I buy or not buy??? Thanks much in advance.

I've been using a 2500lb ATV winch bought at a yard sale for years now. Pulls my 3k lb Camaro in my enclosed every week and I've pulled trucks onto my open trailer with no problem. It attaches with 1 bolt.

Smittybuilt are what I see the most of. A lot cheaper than Warn, most like them as much or more.

Avoid the Hazard Fraught if it's going to be exposed to weather at all.

I got one of those boat winches that has a thing to go over the trailer hitch and 3 lugs to attach it. Welded that to the trailer floor and I can set the winch on the 3 lugs, use it, and then remove. The controls and the power hook up are removable. The draw back for you is it is 12 volt. Cost me $49 15 years ago and with a snatch block will pull anything on the trailer.

Harbor Freight does have a 110 volt version for pretty reasonable.

Charlie, I have a 12 volt PowerWinch that I used to pull my 2500# Nova onto the old short ramp trailer. It should easily pull your Mustang. It can be removed in seconds and has a cord that attaches to the operating lever, so you can walk along side, steer and load the car.

If you are interested give me a call (619) 443-9171, I’ll bring it with me to the Division event at Fontana in May.
