Gledewen Spare Tire Hoist for RVs Trailers Trucks - 150 lb Capacity, 46" Cable, Bolt-On Winch

The Gledewen Spare Tire Hoist is a bolt-on winch-style carrier that lets you raise, store and lower a spare wheel beneath your RV, trailer, truck or motorhome with a 150 lb capacity and 46" cable.

Keep a ready, out-of-the-way spare without crawling under the vehicle: this compact hoist assembly bolts to the vehicle frame and uses an offset cable and crank rod to raise or lower the tire. Built from thickened reinforced steel and finished for corrosion resistance, the unit replaces OE part numbers LC159056 and 159056 and ships as a complete assembly for fast installation.

How long does installation take and what’s involved?

Installation is straightforward and designed for DIY fitting to a steel frame. Most installers can complete the bolt-on mounting, cable routing and crank-rod connection in about 30 minutes using common hand tools.

• Mounts to existing frame holes or bolted bracket points
• Attach the winch, route the offset cable through the tire hub, secure with provided hardware
• Connect and test the crank rod, make small tension adjustments before first use

What are the performance limits and build details?

The hoist is engineered for long service life with reinforced metal components and a protective finish to resist rust and deformation. It supports tires up to 150 pounds and uses a 46-inch cable, suitable for most light truck, trailer and motorhome spare wheels.

• Rated weight capacity: 150 lb (68 kg)
• Cable length: 46 inches for underframe clearance
• Reinforced construction for improved tensile strength and durability

Are there important safety or operation notes I should know?

Yes. The winch ships set and should not be pre-raised before first use. Lowering requires an applied load; without weight the mechanism will not descend properly. Avoid idling the crank during descent to prevent jamming and always lower and raise evenly.

• Do not raise the pre-set winch before initial use
• Winch must be loaded to lower—manually pull down evenly if no weight attached
• Do not idle or let the winch free-spin during descent to avoid jamming

What vehicles and part numbers does this replace?

The Gledewen assembly is compatible with a wide range of RVs, trailers, trucks and motorhomes where OE-style offset cable winches are used. It is a direct replacement for part numbers LC159056 and 159056, manufactured to pass multi-point inspections before shipping.

• Replacement OE numbers: LC159056, 159056
• Fits: RVs, travel trailers, pickup trucks, motorhomes
• Factory-direct seller with new, branded assemblies

Included in the package is one complete spare tire hoist assembly. Gledewen backs the product with a 24-month warranty and a factory-direct price point—an economical option if you want a robust, simple spare storage solution.

Who is this for? Vehicle owners and DIY mechanics who need a reliable underframe spare storage option—especially RV, trailer and truck drivers who prefer an out-of-the-way spare that can be lowered quickly without crawling beneath the vehicle. If you want a direct-fit replacement for LC159056 at an affordable price with a straightforward install and two-year coverage, this winch assembly is built for you.
