I have looked at the Harbor Fright off-road winch offerings for my 
Wilson STB-77B's winches (it has two: one for raising/lowering, one for 
tilt-over). Somma them look interesting; and for my purposes, 12VDC 
operation is preferred over 120VAC any day since I'm entirely off-grid. 
The major problem has only been that the cable lengths were not quite 
what I'd prefer, although you can easily change the cable with offerings 
from your hardware store.
