Part details

Ratchet Pawl Spring for Goshen / Dutton Lainson Winches

This is the replacement Ratchet Pawl Spring for the Dutton Lainson brake winch used on Goshen lift systems. This small spring is a critical safety component responsible for engaging the ratchet pawl (the 'clicker'), which prevents the winch from unwinding under the weight of the roof.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING & FAILURE SYMPTOMS

If your winch is not "clicking" as you crank up or is not holding the load, a broken pawl spring is the most likely cause. This is a major safety failure.

Symptoms of a broken pawl spring include:

  • The winch operates silently (no clicking sound).
  • The crank handle spins backward freely when you let go.
  • The winch WILL NOT support the weight of the roof, allowing it to drop.

Do not operate your camper with a faulty pawl spring. Replace it immediately.

Key Features:

  • Restores Winch Safety: Pushes the pawl into the ratchet gear to lock the winch.
  • Direct Replacement: Designed specifically for the Dutton Lainson winches on Goshen systems.
  • Essential for Brake Function: Without this spring, the winch's primary safety lock is disabled.
  • Durable Spring Steel: Built to withstand constant flexing.
