I dont understand what a WLL limit is?

1600kg? i know my truck is a bit heavier but would this do the job for getting stuck? im not talking swamp upto the windows, but still, stuck is stuck right?

These winches use the weight limit as lifting no?

You have too much spare cash...

Tirfor winches are great bits of kit, But they are slow and hard work!

Your better off getting a better rated one, there's quite a few ex military ones up on ebay which are better value and not cheap pressed metal. Although they may have been abused?

General laning. Getting myself out of a sticky situation, like as an absolute last resort. Never ever needed one, but scared without

You can always use a snatch block to double the pulling power. But means for every pull it will pull half as far.

Cheap electric winches can work quite well. Mine was like £160 new, 12000lb pull. Didn't let me down, Used for light/medium winching. No need to go any higher in pulling power as it will be slow as it's the same motor just better pulling power via gearing. Again a snatch block can be used if you need to pull more.

Winch-it have some good deals.

these are 900 nz i have two....yes two. got mine one special for 399..(that's why i got two.)

firebobby · 28-04-2014, 20:09

We have them on our fire trucks, good bit of kit, but as mentioned, there very slow and take a bit of setting up. They have a shear pin which protects the internals. We also have anchor plates with ours and these can be nailed into the ground with bloody long spikes.

AlexD333 · 28-04-2014, 22:26

Oh jeez, manual or auto winch. Hmmmmm
