Fulton 2600lb 2-Speed Winch - Strap Not Included

The Fulton 2600lb 2-Speed Winch is a manual hand-crank winch designed for controlled load lifting and pulling applications. With a 2600-pound pulling capacity and dual-speed gearing, this winch delivers both rapid engagement and mechanical advantage when heavy force is required. The shift-lock design allows operators to transition between speeds without removing the crank handle from the shaft, streamlining the workflow on job sites, in workshops, or during equipment recovery operations.

The two-speed configuration gives users operational flexibility. The high-speed setting enables quick pull-in when moving loads over short distances or when rapid engagement is needed. Shifting to low-speed multiplies mechanical advantage, making it possible to handle heavier resistance or to fine-tune positioning with greater control. This gearing approach is standard in professional-grade hand winches because it balances speed with force—a single fixed ratio would sacrifice one for the other. The shift-lock mechanism eliminates the friction and time loss of repositioning the crank between gears, keeping both hands available for load management and improving efficiency during repeated lifts.

This winch suits automotive shops, equipment hauling, trailer loading, and portable rigging where a self-powered solution is unnecessary or impractical. It is commonly paired with chain, cable, or webbing straps to adapt to specific loads—note that straps are sold separately. The compact footprint of 10 × 8 × 12 inches and 15.8-pound weight make it portable enough for mobile work while maintaining the rugged construction expected from the Fulton brand, a recognized manufacturer of manual lifting and pulling equipment for fleet maintenance and service operations.
