[TowerTalk] Winch questions

[Barrie Smith]

I recently put a Bencher Skyhawk atop a HG-52SS.  At the moment, I'm using a hand-winch to raise and lower the tower.  Since I'm lazy, I'd like to install an electric winch.

The beam itself weighs 75 lbs.  I have no idea what weight the portion of the tower that rises and lowers represents.

I'd rather go a little over-kill on the winch.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what winch to buy?
