Looking for suggestions for a 120VAC winch to replace the hand crank winch on a TRX80HD tower raising fixture.

I have looked at the Harbor Fright off-road winch offerings for my Wilson STB-77B's winches (it has two: one for raising/lowering, one for tilt-over). Somma them look interesting; and for my purposes, 12VDC operation is preferred over 120VAC any day since I'm entirely off-grid. The major problem has only been that the cable lengths were not quite what I'd prefer, although you can easily change the cable with offerings from your hardware store.
