Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this different from the clamp-on version?
A: The bolt-on style provides a more permanent and secure mount, ideal for trailers that see regular or heavy-duty use and don’t require frequent wheel removal.
Q: Is this suitable for marine environments?
A: Yes. The Dacromet finish resists rust and corrosion, making it perfect for coastal, boat ramp, and wet weather applications.
Q: Can I replace the winding handle?
A: Definitely. It’s designed to be user-replaceable to extend the product’s service life.
Q: Is 8 inches big enough for my trailer?
