Sliding Winch Makes Loading Trailer Easier
 ✖  |
“I buy 10 to 20 vehicles a year for parting out or demolition derbies and this invention makes it much easier to load damaged cars onto trailers,” says Dakota Hansiak, Port Murray, N.J., a 22-year-old inventor who mounted an adjustable sliding winch on front of his trailer.
After years of frustration trying to load “auction treasures” onto his trailer with a stationary winch or come-along, he got the idea of mounting a winch so it could be mounted anywhere across the front of the trailer. Besides making it easier to load cars and pickups that have flat tires on one side or the other, it also makes it easier to load non-running garden tractors or snowmobiles side-by-side on the trailer.
“The winch mounts on a heavy bracket that slides back and forth across a heavy box steel tubing. You simply pull a pin and slide the winch to where you want it. I also use it for loading large pieces of steel and logs.
“I started with a 4,000-lb. winch but it couldn’t quite handle some of the bigger rigs I’ve hauled. So I bought a 9,000-lb. winch. I made the sliding mechanism in a few hours using scrap laying around my yard. I plan to sell sliding winch kits in the future,” says Hansiak.
