I am picking up a Brian James tilt bed trailer - second hand- tommorow.
It has an electric winch - any thoughts on the minimum rated battery which would allow a 430 kg car to be winched up onto a tiltbed trailer - looking for ball park amp rating as do not have details of winch -rather e-miss of me when I looked over the trailer.
Regards

i have a 110a/h diesel car battery in mine, you need something suitable for large cranking type currents when winching rather than a leisure type battery .
i have mine rigged up to a charging socket as well off the towbar 2nd outlet (grey plug) to recharge the battery while driving to and from venues, well worth doing .
