Product Summary
What's Included
- (1) Winch with 50ft. cable (1) Pulley block (1) Dynamic brake remote control

Built to Last and Ready to Work!
Powerful Pulling Capacity
This tough electric winch is equipped with a pulley block and hook plus 50 feet of cable for double line operation. With up to 4,000 lbs. of capacity, this winch can handle the toughest pulling jobs with ease.
Plug-N-Play Design
The StrongArm Winch has a unique spur gear system that is much more efficient than the traditional planetary gear system. Straight tooth spur gearing runs cooler and draws far fewer amps than traditional systems, making it an exceptional choice!
Spurred to Action
Powerfully smooth DC welding output is ideal for a broad range of stick electrode types. The 10,500 Watt surge single-phase AC generator delivers the most surge power in its class for motor starting. It also offers 9,000 Watts of continuous power for a generator, plasma cutter or inverter welder. This machine also provides optimal power for lights, grinders, power tools, and more.
Versatility to Handle the Tough Jobs
Extra Muscle in the Service Shop
This powerful winch doesn't back down from a challenge. Whether it's moving a disabled vehicle so it can be serviced, opening and closing large horizontal sliding doors, transporting small aircraft in and out of the hanger, or a variety of other tough tasks, the StrongArm is ready to pull the burden off of the operator's back.
A Natural Deck Hand
At the marina or near the water, this winch shines. From lifting a small boat into a boathouse (2 hoists may be required for this maneuver) to providing the muscle for boat davits or even marine railway systems, this winch is onboard to help get the job done.
Loaded with Features
Space-Saving Design
This incredibly compact unit weighs just 34 lbs. yet still packs a powerful punch. With its sleek 12.5in.L x 10.5in.W x 11in.H overall size, it will fit in some really tight spots, and pull you out of some really big predicaments!
Dual Capacities to Match Your Needs
Single line or double line, you configure it to the way that best meets your needs. The 25ft. double line setup offers an incredible 4,000 lb. capacity with double hook ends. If you need some extra length, converting the system to a single hook/single line system will reach up to 50ft. and still deliver 2,700 lb. capacity
Unique Clutch Release
Why depend on the motor to roll out the load when there's a better option right at your fingertips? The StrongArm Electric Winch offers a unique clutch release mechanism that lets you simply pay out the load while in the neutral setting and easily control the load rollout with the clutch mechanism.
Safety First
Worry-Free Hand-Held Control
The 10ft. remote cord offers not only the convenience of operating the winch at a safe distance from the machine, but also the peace-of-mind knowing that the load is now kept a safe distance away from the operator.
Holds the Load, Even Without Power
Should the power happen to go out right in the middle of a move or drop, the effects of a 1-ton load moving uncontrolled could be tragic. But you can breathe easy knowing this winch has a built-in safety braking mechanism that will continue to hold a load, even if all power is lost. An emergency crank handle is also included so that you can continue to move the load, even without electricity.
StrongArm Has You Covered
Enclosing the cable reel is a great way to protect the reel against the elements and reduce wear and rusting on the steel aircraft cable. By covering the reel, the cable is also protected from accidental pinches or frayed strands as it gets retrieved.
A Brand You Can Trust
Dependable Warranty
The Dutton-Lainson StrongArm winch is built to last and perform, but to give you extra peace of mind, it also comes with a manufacturer's 1-year limited warranty.
Guaranteed Satisfaction
Shop in complete confidence, knowing that Northern Tool + Equipment protects your investment and is ready to provide you with the assistance and helpful resources you need.

does it come with an emergency handle in case of power outage? what is that lever on the side of the unit? Is it the in/out switch without the use of remote control?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 5 years ago
An emergency crank handle is provided for use in the event of a power failure. Remove the electrical power from the winch when using. The clutch lever provides a means for releasing a load without power while maintaining control of the speed and provides free wheeling so that the cable can be removed from the winch by hand.

Does this have a hook on the back attach to a chain or a tree sling?
I need a winch that I can attach to a tree (temporarily, not permanently) to pull a dock out of the water. Will this winch work for that purpose? Or is it only usable if you mount it to a a solid surface?
1 answer-
ProductExpert12· 9 years ago
This Dutton-Lainson winch does not include a hook, it has mounting holes. This winch is designed to be mounted on a solid surface. For that reason, we cannot recommend mounting it to a tree for your application.

I'd like to pair my strongarm with a generator. What minimum wattage is required of the generator?
1 answer-
ProductExpert30· 10 years ago
This Dutton-Lainson winch requires 720 watts to operate. To start an electric motor requires 3 times more power than to operate. The minimum size generator would be 2160 watts.

can you connect 2 of the Duton-Lainson model 25046 so both winches pulling same time
1 answer-
ProductExpert26· 12 years ago
Two winches cannot be used together because they would not always be in perfect sync with each other. You can double your pulling capacity by doubling the line.

How to mount unit
How can the unit be fastened to a wall for permanent installation in a vertical position (for pulling up a ham radio tower) using the snatch block? It does not show a permanent flange where the bolts would fasten to the wall.
1 answer-
ProductExpert41· 12 years ago
This winch is only meant to be used in a horizontal pulling application. It is not meant to be used for lifting of any type. I would suggest a hoist for your application and I will list an option below.
