Superwinch? or Superstupid?

I got my hands on a recovery winch from a 2011 fire engine that was destroyed by fire.

One of the only salvageable bits left was this huge winch, which I thought would be good for fitting on the front of the maverick, its just a little on the heavy side weighing around 70kg probably got something to do with the HUGE gearbox on it!

Any guesses on the tonnage of this?

Difficult to see the actual winch due to the dirty great steel tray thing

Doesn't look that bad now. Does it still turn in free mode?

maybe there is some model number indented into the metal.

I think as it's ex fire it's probably something good quality so parts should be easy enough to get hold of if you get a part number.

It's already in Mr K's workshop being assessed for repairability - the plastic free-wheeling lock handle is still in tact and unmelted still works ok, although not pulled the cable as my spine had collapsed lifting it up.
