Speaking of winches......
I'm looking for an electric winch to pull my vehicles up and onto the car
trailer. I'd prefer a flat web strap instead of the wire cable. I'm
assuming someone makes a DC electric strap winch....
anybody have experience with this set up?

rating. As in at 9,000lbs horizontal pull, the winch will stall. This is
particularly the case when looking at cheap type automotive winches.
