Low Profile 4″ Bottom Mount Slider Notched Sliding Winch for C Channel Track
A 4-inch notched sliding winch designed for C-channel tracks is an essential component in the cargo securement systems of flatbed trailers. These winches provide adjustable and reliable tie-down points, enhancing the flexibility and safety of load securing processes.
Design and Functionality
Notched sliding winches are engineered to move smoothly along C-channel tracks installed on trailer sides. This mobility allows operators to position the winch at optimal locations corresponding to the cargo’s dimensions and securing requirements. Once the desired position is achieved, the notched mechanism ensures the winch locks firmly under tension, preventing unintended movement during transit. These winches are compatible with 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch wide webbing straps, accommodating various cargo sizes and types.
A standard 4-inch notched sliding winch typically features a working load limit (WLL) of 5,500 pounds, ensuring robust performance for heavy-duty applications. The winch is designed to store approximately 30 feet of webbing, promoting organized storage and quick deployment. Constructed from durable materials with a low-profile design, these winches are ideal for flatbed hauling tie-down systems, offering both strength and minimal obstruction.
Installation and Compatibility
Installation involves mounting the C-channel track along the trailer’s side, allowing the winch to slide and lock into the desired position. This setup provides flexibility in positioning tie-down points, accommodating various cargo configurations. Notched sliding winches are compatible with standard C-channel tracks, ensuring versatility across different trailer setups.

Cautions:
- Weight Limit: Always adhere to the weight limits specified by the manufacturer for the winch. Overloading can cause equipment failure and accidents.
- Secure Mounting: Ensure that the winch is securely mounted to the flatbed with appropriate hardware and that the mounting structure is strong enough to handle the forces that will be exerted on it.
- Proper Anchoring: Use proper anchor points and make sure they are securely attached to the load being winched. The anchor points should be strong enough to handle the force applied by the winch.
