STRONGARM Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12 Volt DC Powered Electric Winch - Your Mobile Powerhouse

Imagine this: you’re exploring the great outdoors, your truck packed with gear for an epic adventure. Suddenly, you encounter an unexpected obstacle – a muddy patch that traps your vehicle. Or perhaps you’re a boater, needing a reliable way to haul your vessel onto a trailer. In these situations, a powerful and dependable winch can be a lifesaver. Enter the STRONGARM Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12 Volt DC Powered Electric Winch, a compact yet mighty tool designed to get you moving again.

Overview

The STRONGARM SA12015DC is not your average winch. It’s specifically engineered for versatility and mobility, making it ideal for a wide range of applications beyond just off-roading. From hauling ATVs and boats to assisting with agricultural tasks and construction projects, this winch provides the muscle you need in a convenient package.

Design Philosophy - Mobile Power

STRONGARM understands that power should be accessible wherever you need it. That’s why they designed the SA12015DC with mobility in mind. Its compact size and 12-volt operation make it perfect for mounting on vehicles, trailers, or even portable cranes. This winch is built to go where you go, ensuring you’re always prepared for the unexpected.

4500-lb. Capacity: Pulling Power When You Need It

This STRONGARM winch boasts a substantial 4500-lb. pulling capacity. But what does that actually mean? Imagine lifting a full-grown hippopotamus! That’s the kind of weight this winch can handle. This impressive power is made possible by a robust 70 amp motor and a high-efficiency gear system, working together to provide reliable pulling force in even the toughest conditions.

70 Amp Motor: The Heart of the Winch

At the core of the SA12015DC is a powerful 70 amp motor. This motor is responsible for generating the rotational force that drives the winch’s drum and ultimately pulls your load. The higher the amperage, the more powerful the motor. 70 amps is a significant amount of power for a 12-volt system, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.

12 Volt DC Powered: The Science of Portable Power

The SA12015DC operates on 12 volts DC, the same power source as your car battery. This design choice is key to its portability. DC power allows for compact and efficient motors, unlike AC motors which often require larger, heavier components and a connection to a wall outlet. With this winch, you have the freedom to operate anywhere your vehicle can go.

Galvanized Aircraft Cable: Strength That Lasts

The winch utilizes a galvanized aircraft cable, chosen for its exceptional strength and durability. Galvanization is a process where steel is coated with a layer of zinc. This zinc coating acts as a sacrificial barrier, preventing rust and corrosion – essential for a tool that will be exposed to the elements. Aircraft cables are known for their high tensile strength, meaning they can withstand significant pulling forces without breaking.

Accepts 2-inch Strap: Versatility in Your Choice of Line

While the SA12015DC comes with a galvanized aircraft cable, it’s also designed to accept a 2-inch strap. This gives you the flexibility to choose the line material that best suits your needs and preferences. Straps can be a good alternative in situations where abrasion resistance or a lighter weight is desired.

Remote Control Included: Control at Your Fingertips

Operating the SA12015DC is a breeze thanks to the included remote control. This feature adds a layer of convenience and safety. Instead of manually cranking the winch, you can control the spooling and unspooling of the cable from a safe distance. This is particularly useful when dealing with heavy loads or navigating challenging terrain.

Emergency Crank Handle: A Backup You Can Rely On

While the electric motor provides effortless power, the SA12015DC also includes an emergency crank handle. This manual backup ensures you’re never stranded, even if you encounter a power issue. It’s a testament to STRONGARM’s commitment to reliability and user safety.

Permanent Magnet Motor: Efficiency and Reliability

The SA12015DC utilizes a permanent magnet motor. Unlike traditional wound-rotor motors, permanent magnet motors don’t require brushes or commutators, which can wear out over time. This results in a more efficient and reliable motor with less maintenance required.

Dynamic Braking: Holding Power for Safety

Dynamic braking is a crucial safety feature in this winch. It provides superior holding power when the winch is not actively pulling a load. This prevents unintentional spooling or slippage, especially on inclines or when dealing with heavy objects. Dynamic braking ensures your load stays secure, even when you release the control.

3-Stage Planetary Gear System: The Science of Torque Multiplication

The SA12015DC employs a 3-stage planetary gear system to generate its impressive pulling power. Planetary gear systems are known for their high torque multiplication capabilities. In simple terms, they allow a small motor to generate a large amount of pulling force. This is achieved by using a series of interconnected gears with different sizes and ratios.

Weather-Resistant Construction: Built to Endure

This winch is built to withstand the elements. Its weather-resistant construction ensures reliable operation in various conditions. While it’s not fully waterproof, it can handle splashes and rain. This durability is essential for a tool that will often be used outdoors.

Summary

The STRONGARM Dutton-Lainson StrongArm 12 Volt DC Powered Electric Winch is more than just a tool; it’s a dependable partner for your adventures and work. With its powerful motor, durable construction, and user-friendly features, it offers peace of mind and the ability to tackle challenging tasks with confidence. Whether you’re an avid off-roader, a boater, or simply someone who needs a reliable way to move heavy objects, this winch is a worthy investment.
