Default Roof Rack Winch Project

Did some project last month to be able to lift my equipment inside the disco by myself.

You are not worried that it will tear off the basket?

Better question is what are you loading?

Not judging, just curious.

I will lift only around 160 pounds. The basket can handle more weight than that. Tested 160 lbs, rack wont budge.

Thanks guys, I used it already loading equipment in the past 2 weekends. True that many think that the rack might not hold that much weight but with about 160 lbs plus the 16lbs weight of the winch and hardware, its very strong. If I needed to carry at least 250lbs, the support rails can still be modified with a bracket without any welds. Just make sure that when the winch is operational, everything is clear and good to go, if it get caught on the hitch, I am sure that something will collapse. The winch is rated 3000 lbs but I got my 150lbs load desired. Also it comes with a wireless remote control and a hard wired switch.
