Mr Saftey - An electric winch (esp one from HF for $100) would not be rated for the weight you need. Yes, you could use pulleys to up the pulling force, but it still isn't rated for that pull. In addition, you better throw another 0 on that price if you would like something rated for overhead lifting. That is more dangerous than the chain! As for in the pickup or trailer I can't knock it until you tell me you could use it to secure your load. :lol:
