With a working load limit of 5,500 lb, Kinedyne's standard outward offset stake pocket winch is heavy duty, versatile and tackles tie-down troubles with ultimate strength. This stake pocket winch outward offset, and can be positioned in any stake pocket (side, front, or back). Our standard outward offset stake pocket winch is able to be inserted into a stake pocket in no time, ready to tie-down cargo on a flatbed. The spring load hook design at the bottom of our stake pocket winch allows even weight distribution and no need for a securement pin. When the job is done, the winch can be easily and quickly removed. Our stake pocket winch is made from heat-treated steel which creates its strength and is coated in a black powder-coating making it look sleek on the trailer. It also features a 3-bar winch mandrel design to prevent the winch strap from binding. All winches are designed to meet the requirements of the Department of Transportation, California Highway Patrol, Canadian 905, North American Cargo Securement and Web Sling and Tie-Down Association regulations and standards. To comply with North American Regulations, the working load limit, manufactured date and country of origin are stamped on the frame. Do not load winches in excess of their working load limit.
