I have a Ramsey Quickmount winch that I move from truck, to trailer, to in the truck bed, to in the shop. I have a 2" reciever welded/built-in to all of the above places so I can move the winch from chore to chore. Mine is the original 5000# model but they have an 8000# out now. I use electric forklift battery connectors to mate to the ones on the winch and have made up 25' welding cable jumpers for the ultimate in flexibility for powering the winch. I use a single pulley block and have yet to not be able to move/slide any equipment I have needed to move.

Buy larger than you think you need because you will invariably find ways to use the winch that will stall it.
