Flatbed Winches

Flatbed winches, often called trailer winches or semi-trailers, are one of the most reliable ways to secure cargo on flatbed trailers. A fixed-mounted winch creates a permanent anchor point for your straps, ensuring that heavy loads stay in place until you reach the next destination and are ready to release and unload your cargo.

For drivers looking for flexibility, sliding winches are a great choice and can also be used with a slider winch rail. These winches mount directly onto a slider winch rail along the rub rails along the side of the flatbed trailer. You can slide them forward or back to line up with your load, which helps you get the right angle to secure whatever you’re hauling. It can also help secure oddly shaped or even oversized cargo.

The choice between fixed and sliding winches comes down to the type of loads you move. If you usually haul the same type of cargo, a permanently mounted winch is the simplest and most reliable option. If your loads vary in size and shape, a slider winch setup is the better fit since it lets you adjust placement and angle to match your cargo.
