That winch has actually been discontinued so we do not carry it anymore.
We do carry the Fulton # F143100 rated for 1,500 lbs and the Fulton # F143201 rated for 2,500 lbs. Both of these are hand brake winches.
We do have a Fulton winch option that is compatible with 3,000 lbs and that is the Fulton F2 # FW32000101. This winch is a 2-speed winch that has an adjustable handle and is rated for 3,200 lbs.
If you would like a winch that has the braking feature and is rated for 3,500 lbs, Daison-Lainson has a Heavy Duty Brake Winch, part # DL24844, that we offer. There are a few differences, like this winch needs at least a 500 lb load to operate, and the gear ratio is different, the Fulton winch that you asked about has a 51:1 gear ratio while the Dutton-Lainson has a gear ratio of 18.75:1. This means that the Dutton-Lainson # DL24844 will be a little more than twice as fast as the Fulton winch. The Dutton-Lainson winch does have the weight capacity and the brake that the Fulton winch had.
