The Manual Trailer Winch - Max Pull 500kg is a purpose-built marine-grade lifting solution designed for boat trailers that demand reliability, longevity, and easy maintenance. Built to withstand harsh coastal environments, this winch combines rugged metalwork with thoughtful mounting options so you can tackle loading and positioning with confidence.

Why this winch stands out

• Corrosion-resistant construction: galvanized components with stainless steel shafts deliver exceptional resistance to salt, spray, and galvanic wear, keeping performance consistent with minimal upkeep.
• Versatile mounting: multi-fit base holes provide flexible installation on a wide range of trailer configurations, so you can retrofit or upgrade without custom fabrication.
• Marine-ready performance: designed in the Trojan winch family, this model benefits from a broad ecosystem—from rope or wire options to a spectrum of winding ratios—ensuring you can match the setup to your boat size and loading needs.
• Designed for real-world use: high-strength components and a simple, robust pawl-and-gear mechanism deliver predictable, controlled pulls with low maintenance requirements—ideal for frequent trailer use and saltwater environments.

Key specifications for this model

• Max Pull: 500 kg
• Ratios available in the Trojan range: 3:1 and 1:1 configurations (this model focuses on those two options for reliable, straightforward winching)
• Material advantages: galvanized housing with stainless steel shafts for corrosion resistance and long service life
