We have an 18' flatbed trailer at work and are attempting to put a winch on it...
Mounting= self explanatory
Wiring= We have 6 trucks that would make use of the winch pulling scissor lifts and vehicles up the ramps onto the trailer. What would be the easiest way to get power to the winch?
Here are some thoughts that have come up.
1. Jumper from the trucks main battery up front
2. Separate battery on the trailer itself and use the trailer plug to charge it when in tow?
And yes I know that the best way to do this is to wire each truck with the proper gauge wire and a plug near the trailer hook up.
Sorry if its confusing, it sounds better in my head. :gee:
