Important Safety Features
As with all Superwinch products, safety is an important consideration of the LP8500 series winch. With this in mind it contains a wealth of valuable safety features standard, more than just a cheap winch. These include automatic load holding braking to minimize the possibility of wire rope slippage in the event of power failure or surge, and to provide quick stopping of the drum; a sealed solenoid and circuit breaker protection to ensure safe, reliable, electromagnetic power in all weather conditions; and a rubberized remote switch with a 15-foot extension cable, allowing for safe distances and positioning between the user and winch during off vehicle use.

The brake in this winch is designed to engage at approximately 45% of the rated line pull for off-road self recovery applications. In most trailer applications, you're dealing with a rolling load rather than pulling a dead weight. It is often said that one can probably push your vehicle but most can't lift it. The LP Series winch drum will "coast" after lifting off of the toggle switch in a trailer application as compared to the S5000 trailer winch which has literally no coast (instant stop). You should select those winch features that you find most beneficial and that allow you to load the trailer safely by yourself.
