I don't think this is what you looking for but here's the only picture I have. We used some 1/8 steel plates to mount to the frame and we put a top on it so I can still use the floor space to store stuff.

only pic I got is too big.

but I made a steel box big enough for my winch and an Optima battery and mounted it flush/ below the floor between 2 X members. I extended the remote control so it plugs in near the wall light switch, and of course the battery is hooked to the charging system of my tow vehicles.

the box is also vented in case of heavy fumes being in the low spot of the trailer, and the likelihood of sparks from the winch motor.

Its far back, so I dont have to step over the cable or wind it up all the time. I had the winch in the front lower cabinets of my old trailer, and that gets old real fast.

Sorry no pic, it was on my last trailer. I had the
winch mounted to the floor (on the side) then had a
5/8" ID tube mounted to a cross bar(under the trailer)
that was flush with the floor. On the cable I had
a pulley with a 5/8"rod welded to the bracket
on the pulley... drop the pulley in the hole and I
was ready

NO picture but thats how mine is, mounted on drivers side wall floor area just ahead of the car. Installed a d-ring at the center floor with a removable block pulley. Pulls the car in straight and you don't have the cable in your way.



it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Mine is in the cabinet

The original owner of the trailer had some sort of rail and loaded everything to one side. That's why there are 2 openings with rollers. I damaged a cable and the tensioner with the cable winding up on one side of the spool so I relocated the winch to center it.

Well I could show a picture but would be nothing to see. My S5000 Superwinch is simply bolted up in the front of my trailer under the cabinet. Just the hook sticking out when in. We used a piece of 1/4" steel under the floor as a large "washer" so to speak.

Mine is mounted next to the roadside wall. Battery is in box under the floor next to it. D-ring in the middle of the floor has a removable pulley I got at the local hardware store.
