There are winches for boats and things that are 12v so that should not be a problem. I think I even saw one that was activated with a remote control. Iit seems doable with a little creativity.

Most winches come with a cable. I would replace it with a small rope. It would be much easier to handle than even a small cable. Most of even the smallest rope out there these days will stand a ton or more.

look at this one.can prob get for $150...http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?r=view&i=87126&cID=SHOPZ_87126...small load, compact, and has wireless remote...though you should delete hook and use strap instead, simply to protect hands...this winch would haul your ass into van in about 45-60 secs
