Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Winch2Go, the portable winch by Superwinch. This is going to be a nice and lightweight, compact, portable winch so that you can easily take it along with you, move it to different locations, whether you want to use it for a one trailer and then move it to another trailer, or you want to take it out, just in case you need to get your vehicle pulled out of a ditch or something like that. It is going to be really nice, very convenient to keep with you and take along so that you have it when you need it. This can also be mounted permanently in your trailer or something like that.If you know you're going to be using it there the most frequently, it does have this metal plate here that you can bolt it down to a surface to make sure that it's always going to be there, but it is still going to be compact, nice and organized.

Everything that you see here that comes with it is going to fit inside this toolbox style case, so everything's going to be there when you need it.Let's go over a few of the specifics here. If we open up the box on the inside, we're going to have our 4,000-pound capacity winch. This is on that same mounting plate that you saw on the bottom, so it's going to be nice and secure. It's going to be able to pull in 4,000 pounds. They've got a 1.4 horsepower motor with a gear ratio of 166 to one, so it's going to be plenty powerful to pull in that 4,000 pounds.

We are going to have 50 feet of this 3/16 inch synthetic rope. It's going to be nice and strong, give us plenty of room there to reach out to whatever we're pulling in. We also have this free-spooling clutch here. So if we turn this yellow dial, that's going to release the clutch so we can pull out the rope very quickly to whatever winch that we need. And then, we can just re-engage it so that the winch will pull it in.

I would not going to have to wait to slowly spool it out with the remote and just easily release the clutch and pull it out as much as we need.On the backside, here we are going to have built-in disconnects. So this bottom one here, this is going to be for our power cords. These are 10-foot six gauge quick connect battery cables, leads that will allow you to easily connect to your positive and negative posts on your battery with these alligator clips here. 10 feet should give you plenty of reach to get to your battery. And then, they'll just easily plug in with that plug down there on that receiver.

Then, the one right above that is for our remote. We have a 10-foot remote that's going to let us pull the winch in and let it out if we need to. But, it's going to give us plenty of distance here, 10 feet, so we can be away from the direct line pole. If something we're to snap or spring back at us, we can be away from the winch, so little protection there.We're also going to get these two six-foot straps so that we can keep our winch secured to our trailer or post or wherever we have it hooked up, a tree if we're off road, something like that. And then, we can use the other one to wrap around whatever we're winching. So if we want to wrap it around our frame on our vehicle or whatever the case may be, these do have a weight capacity of 4,000 pounds each so they will hold up well. We're also going to get three of these metal shackles that will allow us to connect again our winch to a stable platform to give it a nice sturdy base or to whatever we are winching. So, everything that we're going to need is included minus the battery. You will have to provide that on your own. Little quick connect hook here, easy to get connected to whatever the strap or whatever else we're trying to winch. And then, a hand saver here so that we can easily pull that out.We are also going to get one pair of gloves. So if we're needing to get down or prevent our hands from getting dirty, or just tuck them a little bit, we have those there. We're also going to get this pulley block hook so we can connect this to another platform and pass our rope through there. That's going to give us two points of attachment, which will double the weight capacity up to 8,000 pounds, so give us a little extra weight capacity there if we're able to do that in our set up wherever you may be. This does come with a three-year limited warranty for electrical components and a lifetime warranty on mechanical components.Overall, I think this is just going to be a really neat opt
