Abstract
Disclosed is a winch. The winch includes a motor. A driveshaft that is coupled to the motor, and the motor rotates the driveshaft. End plates at opposite ends of the driveshaft are configured to support the driveshaft between the end plates, and to allow rotation of the driveshaft. A spool is fixed to the driveshaft such that the motor rotates the spool by rotating the driveshaft. A line is attached to the spool and rotation of the driveshaft causes the spool to wind the line onto the spool or unwind the line from the spool. At least one support member is coupled between the end plates. The at least one support member is generally parallel with and spaced apart from the rail, and the support member is fixed to the end plates such that the support member keeps the end plates and drive shaft in alignment.
