Hi Gerald,
Have you given any consideration to a worm gear drive?
Dutton-Lainson lists several conventional 'brake' style hand winches on
their site but they also offer several worm gear styles.
WG2000: http://www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=11001
Description: "2000 lb Worm Gear Winch with 5/8 inch hex drive. Comes
with mating handle that can be removed easily without tools. Also allows
the winch to be operated with a power drill hooked directly to the drive
shaft."
Specs and Model Comparison (WG2000 in middle of list):

I'm impressed that their products carry a warranty; are made in America;
they offer specs and they actually list repair parts.

Hi Gerald
the Fulton 2500 is a single speed winch...a dual speed winch takes LESS effort but more revaluations.
I have two 3200 lb dual speed winches ( old model with the removable handles )
this is a dual speed on Ebay

I never used the newer shift gear style ??

Subject: [TowerTalk] Fulton 2500 winch single or dual speed?
Good Morning All,
I need to replace the winch on my Hy-Gain 72 foot crank up tower.
Do I want a single or dual speed winch? I do not know what is on the tower now
other than it is a Fulton 2500.
Being disabled, I don’t have the upper body strength anymore to crank the tower
to 72 feet. I barely get the tower up to 50 feet.
Will a dual speed help if I don’t already have one?
I looked at price of a US Tower Power Winch, but that sure is out of my price
range.
Thanks in advance and 73,
Gerald - KC4RN
