2:52 sound is so nasty and loud. There are silent variants these days (I know two manufacturers of silent (they call it noiseless) variants). Do you have silent winches, too? (video about such ones would be interesting).
Thanks for your question, but no- none of our winches operate silently or noiselessly. The clicking noise that is produced as the ratchet pawl engages with the gears is one of the easiest and surest ways to know the winch is functioning properly.
@@DuttonLainson Thanks for fast answer. Some context for this. There are cases where this sound is very problematic - for example theaters or nighttime at garden and neighbors (the second one is my real scenario to why I'm looking for mostly silent unit). My winch is mounted on the metal frame, so the whole thing resonates, amplifying the knocking sound. I guess the sound could still be there but at really minimal level. I've tried making my winch more silent. By adding ~0.6mm thick rubber at ratchet pawl face that hits gear (and only there). It did silence it a lot but gear tooth depth in my unit (from other manufacturer) is too small to make me feel comfortable and secure with this added rubber mod (so I abandoned it). I see that some Japanese winch manufacturer has complicated magnet based solution to this (where ratchet pawl doesn't touch the gear at all when winding up).
Thank you! This answers my question, and isn't just an ad for your products (no offense intended, I just need to know what winch I need for lifting, and you answered that perfectly without just telling me about a product. Though they do look good!)
Hi, how can i calculate these loads ? Meaning it is surely related to the forces of friction between the load and the threads, but i can't quite calculate the exact couple needed to be applied on the threads so that they screw themselves back on ? Thanks for your answer !
Thanks for your question! All of our brake winches have a minimum load specification in order for the winch to function properly. As long as you have more than your winch's minimum load attached to it, the friction break will activate and hold your load in position.
@@DuttonLainson I just wanted to know if someone could help me out for a mecanic exercice, if you have determined the loads with experiment, calculus or modelisation ! Thanks for your quick answer !

I have a DLB2500A brake winch on my kayak lift from Dock Doctors. I cannot figure out how to lube the winch as it is making a deafening squeaking noise. It has a cover on it that I cannot get off to lubricate. Please advise. Thank you!
Thanks for your question! The cover should only have one or two bolts that need to be loosened to remove the cover. If they appear rusted or are difficult to remove for any other reason, you may have to shear off one or both ends of the bolts to gain access to the rest of the winch. Once you have the cover removed, you should apply a good marine grease to the winch's gears, reel shaft, and handle threads. This should be done at least once a year but probably more frequently than that in your case, since it is used on a kayak lift near water.
Thanks for your question! The maximum diameter cable that will fit on the DLB350A is 5/32" cable. Up to 54' of that diameter cable will fit on a DLB350A's reel. The cable we recommend for that winch is up to 83' of 1/8" cable.
We are sorry to hear that. Please send us an email at marketing [at] dutton-lainson [dot] com and we will gladly send you free replacements for your damaged parts.
Thanks for your question! If you are just needing a replacement ratchet spring for your winch, please contact us at 402-462-4141 and ask for the Sales Department. We will be happy to mail you a new spring.
Thanks for your question! Many people would use a pulling winch in that scenario. One of our models with a hand brake (such as the DL2000AB- www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=14730) is designed for applications like you described. However, you could also use a brake winch if you wanted the additional safety factor of the automatic friction brake in that type of winch.
this is an outstanding video. I know nothing about Winches and have the AC version. Followed the instructions and the winch works like a charm. The engineer who designed this is awesome. THought about servisibility and the instructor is also GREAT!. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words and we're glad to hear this video was helpful to you! Please let us know if there is any other topics you'd like us to cover in future videos.
Will this hold on a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank? Because nothing else will…Should I heat weld first, then add the patch? Also, is it safe for fishes and horses?
Thanks for reaching out! Durapatch will definitely adhere to your Rubbermaid stock tank and is safe for your animals, but its ability to fully seal the damage on your tank will depend on the extent of the damage and where it is located on your tank. Feel free to send us pictures of the damage to customersupport [at] dutton-lainson [dot] com so we can further assist you.
This is an ingenious useful winch which I am trying to buy in Malta, but as yet I cannot locate anyone who deals with such worm and wheel winches. I do like the slanted worm to fit in the straight cut teeth on the wheel, That is good thinking. Congratulations.
Great video and a great winch by this company. Sir, you did not mention one ingenious property where the worm is angled to fit the straight cut teeth, That is a brilliant engineering trick that stops having to cut slanted gear, Again the slanted worm is a a brilliant engineering leading to a a better fit of the work to the straight cut teeth, This week I am going to try and make a complex worm which changes its diameter so that more teeth on the wheel will fit in for a longer arc angle of the worm contact with the teeth on the wheel .I shall not use " wheels rather than teeth, I think that I can handle the " hourglass shaped worm" with my simple home facilities. For a larger industrial production, making the wheel as the cutting tool and gearing the worm as work piece accordingly, a fast production can be achieved. Again congratulations for the slanted worm to fit the straight cut teeth. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P4OOvMWzgeg.html
Thanks for reaching out, Seth! The brake pad and all other parts on a DLB1200A can be purchased on our website here: www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=DLB1200A
Does not show you how to adjust / fix / use brake . My brake is so tight that is takes 10 to 15 times the force to lower the load then to raise it AND NO VIDEO COVERS THAT SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!
Thanks for reaching out, Jack. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your winch! It sounds like you simply need to remove the handle from your winch's drive shaft and then apply a small amount of marine grease to the threads on the drive shaft. If that doesn't work, we have other possible solutions available on the DLB-Series Troubleshooting Guides page of our website- www.dutton-lainson.com/troubleshooting-guides/dlb350-dlb2500-series-brake-winches-manual/. If none of the solutions listed there fix your issue, please call us at 402-462-4141 and ask for someone in the Engineering Department, who can provide further assistance.
Thanks for your question! Most of our suppliers don't stock parts or have them available, but you can check with large national retailers like Acklands Grainger, Fastenal, or Amazon to see if you can find the handle you're looking for.
Thanks for your question! Yes, a D-L brake winch's minimum load requirement changes depending on what model of winch you have. For instance, our DLB350A brake winch has a 50 lb. minimum load and our B3503 brake winch has a 500 lb. minimum load. You can learn more about the differences between our brake winch models on our website: www.dutton-lainson.com/products.php?cat=19
I have a DLB 800 winch on our pop up. I can’t seem to get the square crank extension hub from the free end of the crank spindle. Inside the hub looks like a big flat head nut. Does it have normal threads? It is frozen on tight!
Thanks for your question. Does your winch's handle look like the 6462 DLB-Series Pop-Up Camper Handle Kit seen on our website here: www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=76121? If so, the nut you are describing should be a 5/8" x 3/4" hex nut. It is probably simply stuck in place from being used and out in the elements for some time.
@@DuttonLainson everything is as it appears on the kit, except the actual fastener. On mine it is round and has a flat end with a slot that runs the diameter of the fastener. This winch is from a 1989 camper so maybe the design changed a bit over the years.
@@geoffreyoltmans4356 Parts in this handle kit were changed in the year 2001, so we no longer have available the part you are describing. You will have to loosen and continue to use the nut you have (if possible), or replace your winch with its updated version (the DLB800A- www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=14914) and the updated version of the handle kit (the 6462 kit- www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=76121).

This video has bad information on the dl1802a for the Yamaha fsh190. The spring goes on the top arm not the bottom. This is absurd especially coming from the manufacturer of the trailer. At least mention it.🤦🏽♂️
Thanks for reaching out, but the process shown in this video is accurate for the vast majority of users who need to replace the 6294A ratchet repair kit on their winch. It is possible you have more of a unique winch than the standard models shown in this video, which could change the installation process. Also, it's important to note that all of the D-L winch models that contain the 6294A ratchet repair kit parts feature a reversible ratchet pawl, which can be flipped in orientation if desired. This would also change the installation process, but most winch users do not use this reversible ratchet functionality and should follow the steps show in this video. You can learn more about our reversible ratchets in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uh9uz-lZl1U.html
