Dutton-Lainson Winches & Winch Handles
Dutton-Lainson Winches & Winch Handles: Over a Century of Pulling Power
Dutton-Lainson has been engineering dependable mechanical products since 1886, and their winches and winch handles are among the most trusted in the trailer, marine, and industrial markets. When you need to load a boat onto a trailer, secure heavy cargo, or manage a tough pull in the field, Dutton-Lainson's hand winch lineup delivers the durability and control that demanding jobs require.
A Winch Line Built for Real-World Use
Dutton-Lainson's winch portfolio spans pulling winches, brake winches, and worm gear winches , giving buyers the right tool for a wide range of towing and hauling applications. Their hand winches are engineered around a few core principles that set them apart from generic alternatives:
- TUFFPLATE Finish: Dutton-Lainson's winches feature a durable zinc TUFFPLATE finish for rust and corrosion resistance — a critical advantage for boat trailer and marine environments where moisture exposure is constant.
- High-Strength Internals: High-strength carbon steel gears and rigid welded reel construction keep these winches reliable under repeated heavy loads.
- Smooth Operation: A freewheel feature with permanently lubricated bearings ensures smooth operation , reducing effort and wear over years of service.
- Ready to Work: Many models come ready to use with a 20-foot strap and hook already installed.
Replacement Winch Handles Engineered to Fit
Dutton-Lainson doesn't just manufacture complete winch assemblies — they also offer a well-organized line of replacement winch handles designed for precise compatibility with their own winch models. The 7-inch handle (model 6307) is the standard replacement for the DL600A, DL900A, DL1100A, DL1300A, WG1500, and WG2000, and features an ergonomic handle grip for comfortable use during repeated cranking. The 9-1/2-inch offset handle (model 6319) fits the DL1602A, DL1802A, and DLC1800 and also features an ergonomic grip , making it easy to match a replacement handle to your specific winch model without guesswork.
A quick-attach 9-1/2-inch replacement handle (model 6322) is compatible with the DL1602ADD, DL1800A, DL2000A, DL2500A, DL3200A, and DL3500B — a broad range of mid- to heavy-duty pulling winches. This cross-compatibility and consistent parts availability is a hallmark of Dutton-Lainson's approach to product support.
