The trailers old winch broke off, and that just WON'T do!

I decided to build the ULTIMATE TRAILER WINCH SETUP for this trailer! I custom build a heavy duty stand for the winch and added the ability to quickly install or remove an electric winch when the need arises. I upgraded a few of the winch parts, and added a few more places to tie things down at the front of the trailer

I also added a basket under the trailers A-frame to allow for storage of chains, binders, straps, or whatever else! The jack was also squeeking to be replaced, so I upgraded that while I was at it!

Once everything was built, painted, and installed, you'll see how nice this little hand crank winch really is, because we used it to remove an old broken forklift off the trailer by hand!

This entire project was a big thank you to my friend who owns this trailer! He let's me use it whenever I need it, and when I saw the broken winch, I immediately knew that it was time for an upgrade!
