I am thinking to mount a winch on the front of my tilt deck trailer to have more controlled loading and unloading of my cat, especially in tight areas like inside my shop. I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone with experience in this could help me out with:
1. If my cat has a gvwr of 3800 pounds fully loaded what size winch do I need?
2. Would it be safe to mount the winch plate to the front frame rail of the trailer using U-bolts? (picture below) I am not sure I can even get I flush due to the ram.
3. I was thinking of using a pullzall or a come along to do the unloading, any thoughts on this?
4. Anyone have any ideas on how I could unload the cat (1404 Imp) safely without any power or brakes on the cat?
Thanks for any pointers.
