New here but thought I would share my experience adding a wireless remote for my new dump trailer. I bought the wireless winch controller that harbor freight sells for $40, less actually because the wife scored a coupon on her phone. Easy to wire, just cut the plug off and strip back the four wires, yellow green stripe is 12volt power, black is ground. Basically hook those to the battery, then I think it was blue and brown wire was the up or down. Tie those into the wiring to the factory corded control. Leaves the corded control functional in case for a backup. On the controller it's labeled in or out. I just used the left button for up and the right for down, seemed natural. Tie up the wires and I zip tied the box to the handle on the battery. Overall I'm very impressed, the range is plenty , actually every bit of the advertised 50ft range. I hauled 5000lbs of scrap into the scrap yard this morning and it was nice to open the doors and back into the muddy mess without having to get out to dump it. KIMG0264.JPG

My Diamond C tilting deck trailer came with a wired & wireless controller. Apparently they just started including the wireless controller. Same size as your average car keyfob. Works really nicely makes it so easy to load & unload as you can tilt the deck as you start or stop moving the machine. Dont have to worry about parking & getting in or out of the machine on a tilted deck.

Not sure what the range is, but it's at least 40' which is plenty for my needs. Dealer was a bit confused when I got it & it didnt seem to work. Need to hit both the up & down buttons simultaneously to wake it up (goes to sleep after some period of time under 30 minutes). Easy enough after one of the other guys at the dealership pointed that out.
