    I'm having trouble finding winches for my flatbed. It has sliding winches on one side and sliding hooks on opposite side. I've checked around and can't find any especially hooks like ones I've got.
    I can't even find them online. Any pointers?

    Mytee has the winches that fit my 2006 East. I have only found the hooks through East.

    He's not asking for winches. He's asking for an EAST specific sliding hook that is apparently only available through EAST, but is still looking everywhere else but where he needs to order it from.

    Sorry, mitmaks, but from what I've seen, it's specific to EAST, and apparently you're going to need to order it through them. On my last perusal looking for more information, I came across this version of the hardware manual's description of the part.:
    569-25302-00 PLATFORM LOAD SECUREMENT PART NO. 090-10337-00 Sliding "J " Hook (East Intregrated Rail)
    Follow that link to page 17 near the top, and that says basically that's designed by and for EAST's Integrated Rail, meaning, it's probably a specialty item they will have to have you order it (and pay ahead) before they'll get it. Sorry, best we're going to be able to do.

    I must have misread that, but I thought the OP first line said "I'm having trouble finding winches for my flatbed."

    A welder with a CNC machine could make some up for you pretty easily.

    What he writes, and what the picture he posted shows, is two diffferent things. :)
    But that said, he still has the same problem for winches, as he does for the hook. That is an EAST specific rail, that is integrated into the deck itself if you look at the Parts Catalog->Hardware-> on Page 20.
    If it's winches he wants, then the second reference link I show above, shows that the winch part no. #569-25382-00 (East Intregrated Rail ) is on page 17.

    This is an EAST specific (read, proprietary) system. Here's the description, and a picture of it.

    That is the only other alternative, but then again, it isn't a company sanctioned and approved (read tested and rated WLL) attachment point and could be more problematic should it fail. (Just pointing out the problems with that option, don't kill the messenger. :) )

    Edit: See W Bench Farms response below, I stand corrected, gladly. :)
