BLACKHORSE-RACING 3500 lb Hand Winch with 33ft Cable — Hardened Dual Gears, Zinc-Plated Steel Frame

BLACKHORSE-RACING's 3500 lbs hand winch is a heavy-duty manual crank winch with a 33-foot cable and hardened dual gears designed to pull, lift, and secure loads on trailers, ATVs, boats, and trucks.

This compact, rugged hand winch combines a zinc-plated steel frame, dual hardened gears and a comfort-grip handle to deliver controlled pulling power where electric winches aren't practical. With a 4:1/8:1 gearing system that lets you switch between ratcheting and free-spooling modes, and a 33-foot, 5/32" cable with a safety hook, it balances strength, corrosion resistance and user-friendly operation for mobile and marine applications.

How strong is this winch and what loads can it handle?

The BLACKHORSE-RACING manual winch is rated to 3500 pounds, suitable for many towing and hauling tasks that don’t require powered winching. The hardened-steel dual-gear train multiplies your input force and keeps the load secure when ratcheting.

• Maximum safe load: 3500 lbs (static rating)
• Dual hardened gears with 4:1/8:1 gearing options for mechanical advantage
• Designed for trailers, ATVs, small boats, and light truck duties

What are the cable and hook specifications?

The winch comes with a 33-foot long, 5/32" diameter wire cable that reaches well into trailer or yard use. It includes a 3-3/8" hook with a 3/4" opening to fasten to anchor points and D-rings securely.

• Cable length: 33 feet; diameter: 5/32" for balance of flexibility and strength
• Hook length: 3-3/8" with 3/4" opening to fit standard tie-down points
• Base footprint: 8" x 4-3/4" for stable mounting on trailers and frames

How durable is the construction and how does it resist corrosion?

The frame and components are made from heavy-gauge steel finished with zinc plating to resist rust in outdoor and marine environments. Hardened steel gears extend service life under repeated loads.

• Heavy-gauge zinc-plated steel frame for corrosion resistance
• Hardened steel dual gears resist wear under heavy use
• Comfort-grip handle reduces hand fatigue over repeated cranking

How easy is it to operate and switch between modes?

Operation is manual and straightforward: the dual gear arrangement supports a ratcheting mode for controlled lifting and a free-spool position for rapid cable release. The comfort-grip handle improves control while cranking heavy loads.

• Manual crank with comfort grip for improved leverage and comfort
• Dual gearing adapts between ratchet (secure lifting) and free-spool (fast payout)
• Mounting base sized for common trailer and vehicle installations

Who is this for? If you need a reliable, portable manual winch for occasional heavy pulling—mounting on utility trailers, securing and loading ATVs, launching small boats, or as a backup on trucks—this BLACKHORSE-RACING 3500 lb hand winch provides mechanical advantage, durable materials and a long cable without the complexity and cost of powered systems. It’s suited for homeowners, recreational vehicle owners, fishermen, landscapers, and light-duty fleet operators who value corrosion-resistant construction and simple, dependable operation.
