If you are using a manual winch then loading a car onto your trailer is going to be hard work. Most manual winches have two gears so use the lower gear and take your time. Make sure there is nobody standing behind the vehicle as it is being pulled up.
The ramps on most transporters take a real beating. If one breaks it can result in considerable damage to the vehicle being loaded. Take care positioning the ramps and inspect the often for cracks or signs of damage.
