TYT 1600 lb Boat Trailer Winch with 8m Red Strap — 2-Way Ratchet, Zinc-Plated Steel

TYT's 1600 lb manual boat trailer winch is a compact, corrosion-resistant hand crank winch with an 8 m red strap and two-way ratchet for safe towing and loading up to 700 kg.

This solidly built winch combines a high-carbon steel geartrain, zinc-black plated body, and a long 8-meter strap to deliver reliable pulling power for trailers, jet skis, small boats, ATVs, and general utility use. Its two-way ratcheting mechanism and curved anti-slip handle make winching tasks more controlled and less tiring, while a standard-mount base keeps installation simple on most trailer frames.

How much load can this TYT winch handle?

The winch is rated to pull a maximum of 1600 lb (about 700 kg) when installed and used according to guidelines. The internal gearing gives mechanical advantage so users can move heavy loads with manageable crank effort.

• Maximum capacity: 1600 lb / 700 kg
• Gearing ratio: 4.1:1 for improved torque
• Strap dimensions: 8 m (26 ft) long, 50 mm wide for secure hold
• Ideal for boats, jet skis, ATVs, and light utility loads

What makes the construction durable and corrosion-resistant?

The winch housing receives a zinc-black plating that helps fend off rust and road salt, extending service life in marine environments. Hardened high-carbon steel gears resist wear from repeated use and maintain smooth operation under load.

• Zinc-black plated finish for rust resistance
• Hardened high-carbon steel gears for longevity
• Solid steel hook and pawl for secure engagement
• Compact mounting base compatible with common trailer boards

How does the two-way ratchet and handle design improve usability?

The two-way ratchet lets you crank forward or release backward in a controlled manner, so tightening and positioning loads is straightforward. The 21 cm curved handle features an anti-slip grip to reduce hand fatigue and improve leverage during extended cranking.

• Two-way ratchet with safety pawl for controlled movement
• Curved 21 cm handle for better leverage and comfort
• Anti-slip grip reduces hand strain during use
• Ability to both winch and release without complex disassembly

What should I know about mounting and maintenance?

The winch comes with a standard mounting footprint (approx. 5.35 in x 3.48 in) that fits most trailer boards and brackets, and the compact size simplifies installation. Routine checks of strap condition, hook integrity, and pawl engagement will keep the unit safe and dependable.

• Mounting base: 5.35 in x 3.48 in, designed for standard holes
• Inner packaging tested for 1-meter drop to prevent shipping damage
• Inspect strap for fraying and replace if damaged
• Lubricate pawl and gears occasionally for smooth operation
