    Hi and thank you for your interest in this project. The winch was supplied with two remote controllers and a hardwired hand controller. The chain sprocket ratio of 3:1 19T:57T If I have worked it out correctly the movement of the trailer at 2.2tons should move at 0.5m/min not fast but only moving short distances. The sprocket ratio should also increase the torque of the mover so should cope with the weight (we will soon find out)

    The photo below shows the mockup of the chassis. I have tried to make it as simple as possible be also be able to take the weight of the trailer.
