Low Profile Portable Winch for Trailers

When your load doesnt fit a fixed setup, you need a winch system that’s adaptable. 4″ bolt-on flatbed winches give you the flexibility to secure cargo exactly where it needs to be, without being locked into a permanent position.

Built for versatility, these portable winches can be installed, repositioned, and adjusted as your load demands. Whether you’re hauling uneven freight or switching between different types of cargo, having a movable securement point makes the job faster, safer, and more efficient. With heavy-duty steel construction, a corrosion-resistant finish, and a 5,500 lb. working load limit, these winches are ready to handle real work, day in and day out.

The low profile, side-mount design is perfect for installation where space is tight – such as on lowboys where the trailers sits too low to the ground for a bottom-mount winch.

These winches are compatible with all of our winch bars and our winch straps, which come with a variety of end fittings.

Bolt-On Winch Features

• Side-Mount: Installs on the side rail of your flatbed.

Tensioning

For tensioning, the WSTDA recommends in section 4.3.5 that “When using any winch, the winch mandrel shall have a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4) wraps of webbing. Two to four wraps will appear like four to eight layers of webbing. Less than two wraps may result in strap slippage; more than four will place unnecessary strain on the winch. Excessive straps of webbing on the mandrel may reduce the working load limit (WLL) of the winch and may interfere with proper operation.”
