Fulton has produced marine and utility trailer hardware for more than a century, and its jacks, winches and couplers are a standard for light and medium-duty trailering. The XLT and F2 series cover swivel and fixed jacks, hand and powered winches from 1,500 to 3,200 pounds, and couplers built to keep working in wet, salty conditions.
With more than a hundred years of production behind it, Fulton has become the reference point for light and medium-duty trailer hardware, particularly on the marine side. That environment is the toughest test a trailer component faces. A boat trailer is reversed into fresh or salt water on every launch and left to sit wet, which finds every weakness in plating, sealing and material choice. Fulton's stated position is that the brand performs best when the weather is at its worst, and its product engineering reflects that. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Bulldog, Tekonsha and Wesbar.
Marine and utility jacks anchor the line. The XLT Series marine jack uses a bolt-through swivel mount built from three-dimensionally formed heavy-gauge steel stampings with a proprietary bushing material, a combination chosen to minimise deflection under tongue load while keeping the swivel action working after years of exposure. The F2 Series takes corrosion resistance further as the industry's only extruded aluminium marine jack with an anodised finish, which removes the rust problem at its source rather than coating over it. The wider trailer jack range covers topwind, sidewind and drop-leg configurations.
Trailer winches pull boats onto bunks and rollers. XLT Series winches use efficient gear ratios, full-length drum bearings, oil-impregnated shaft bushings and a Comfort Grip handle that makes the last few turns under load bearable, in 1,500 and 1,800 pound capacities. F2 Series winches use an enclosed frame for a cleaner look and added protection, in 1,600, 2,000 and 3,200 pound models, including two-speed options that trade line speed for cranking effort.
Couplers complete the range, including A-frame couplers matched to common tongue sizes and load ratings, serving boat owners, utility trailer users and trailer manufacturers.

Fulton® F2® Winches
The F2 Trailer Winch is a manual-operated trailer winch designed for intermittent duty cycle use. It is not designed to secure boats to trailers while towing—boat tie-downs must be used for that purpose. The winch is not designed to move humans.
The mounting surface must be equal to or greater than the footprint of the winch frame. The surface must be strong enough to support the winch and the loads being pulled without deflection or failure.
Always use three (3) 3/8" diameter grade-5 carriage bolts with lock nuts. Torque to 28-30 ft-lbs. These fasteners must be checked periodically for proper tightness and re-torqued if necessary.
Torque the three 3/8" diameter grade-5 carriage bolts to 28-30 ft-lbs.
Assemble the handle assembly as shown in the diagram and torque the locknut to 20-25 ft-lbs using a 9/16" socket.
Torque the locknut to 20-25 ft-lbs using a 9/16" socket.
Yes. The adjustable handle can be mounted in different length configurations (6" to 9") and in either right-hand or left-hand orientation. To switch orientation, remove the bolt and washers from each side of the drive shaft, push the hex shaft 1/2"-3/4" through to the other side (do not remove completely to keep internal gears and bushings aligned), place the handle bolt and washers on the handle side and torque to 22-25 ft-lbs, then repeat for the opposite side. Do not over-torque.
Torque the handle bolts to 22-25 ft-lbs. Do not over-torque.
Use the strap anchor provided with the winch. Pass the strap loop under the cross bolt or through the center hub slot, insert the strap anchor in the strap loop, then pull tight. Always maintain a minimum of three complete wraps of strap on the drum.
Always maintain a minimum of three complete wraps of strap on the drum. Capacity is based on direct line pull on the third layer of strap on the drum and is reduced as strap builds up on the drum.
Before use, inspect the strap and replace if damaged. Check mounting hardware for proper tightness and re-torque if necessary. Gears, ratchet contact points, and shaft bushings must be kept lubricated with a thin oil or grease.
A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be heard when pulling the load. This indicates the ratchet is properly engaged. If the winch is properly engaged but no loud clicking sound is heard, do not use the winch and replace ratchet components immediately.
Fulton brand winches require a maximum of 45 lbs of handle force to pull the rated load. If you cannot crank the winch with one hand, you are potentially overloading the winch. Excessive force in turning the winch handle may indicate overload.
No. Do not use cable or rope. The winch is designed to work with strap only.
Ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is engaged in the forward or loading position. As you turn the handle, make sure the strap is winding onto the drum properly. If you must stop before the load is fully in, ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is engaged and gradually release the winch handle to ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is holding the load.
Before turning the handle, firmly grip the winch handle and disengage the ratchet plunger/pawl or engage it in the reverse direction. You may have to take in a small amount of strap to allow the ratchet plunger/pawl to unload. With a firm grip on the winch handle, slowly let out strap. If you must stop before the load is fully out, ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is engaged in the forward or loading position and gradually release the winch handle to ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is holding the load.
Make sure the ratchet plunger is properly engaged and holding the load before attempting to change gears. Firmly grasp the handle of the F2 2-speed winch where it attaches to the input shaft. Push/pull to shift. Push in for high-gear and center for low-gear.
The F2 Trailer Winch is designed for manual operation only and the load rating is based on an intermittent duty cycle.
No. The winch will not hold the load when the load is being let out. You must maintain a firm grip on the winch handle and ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is properly engaged to control the descent of the load.
Never release the crank handle unless the ratchet plunger/pawl is fully engaged and the load is supported. Always ensure the ratchet is holding the load before letting go of the handle.
Never operate with slippery, wet, or oily hands and always maintain a firm grip on the winch handle. Do not attempt to stop a winch by grabbing the handle while in motion. Never stand alongside the winch or guide the strap with your hands.
The F2 winch is designed with precision fit components and corrosion resistant materials to minimize maintenance frequency. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water along with light oil lubrication of contact points will prolong peak performance and appearance. Gears, ratchet contact points, and shaft bushings must be kept lubricated with a thin oil or grease. Use only Cequent Trailer Products' parts or parts of equal quality for repair.
Periodically check mounting hardware for proper torque and tighten if necessary. The three 3/8" diameter grade-5 carriage bolts should be torqued to 28-30 ft-lbs.
Always replace bent, broken, or worn parts before using the product. Do not attempt to operate the winch with damaged components.
No. The purchaser/owner must not alter or modify the product. The product must be installed and used only as specified in the instructions.
Children should not be allowed to play on or around the product or the load being supported or moved. The winch should not be used to move humans. Only trained operators should use the winch, and they must have access to and understand these instructions.
Never exceed the maximum rated capacity. Refer to the stamped markings on the winch to obtain the rated capacity. If uncertain, contact Cequent Trailer Products at 1-800-521-0510 or www.cequentgroup.com. Capacity is based on direct line pull on the third layer of strap on the drum and is reduced as strap builds up on the drum.
Replacement parts are available through Cequent Trailer Products' Customer Service Department at 1-800-521-0510. Please specify the product model number. Visit www.cequentgroup.com for additional details. Use only Cequent Trailer Products' parts or parts of equal quality for repair.

A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be heard when pulling the load. If the winch is properly engaged but no loud clicking sound is heard, do not use the winch and replace ratchet components immediately. This indicates a ratchet failure.
If you cannot crank the winch with one hand, you are potentially overloading the winch. Excessive force in turning the winch handle may indicate overload. Fulton brand winches require a maximum of 45 lbs of handle force to pull the rated load. Stop immediately and verify that the load does not exceed the winch's rated capacity.
Ensure the ratchet plunger/pawl is fully engaged before releasing the handle. The winch will not hold the load if the ratchet is disengaged or in neutral. Always check that you hear the loud clicking sound from the ratchet and that the plunger is in the forward or loading position before letting go of the handle.
