I have a winch I can buy for $200 that is almost brand new. It is a 12v.
Vortec 9500 # winch. I can use it for some skidding I need to do onto my
trailer, but then, would hang it on an I beam dolly for hoisting. Since it
is 12v. what would I use as a power supply that would give me the same as
an automotive setup?

Most 12volt winches are not rated as hoists. None of them are rated for
overhead use either as many don't have proper braking or spools rated
for it.
