Suprash Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thats winches not wenches before you get your hopes up I need a winch for my transporter ? Needs to be 24v, and can free wheel so I can pull it ? Anyone have any good places that can cater for these sorts of things ? Im off work tomorrow so wouldnt mind going to a store or shop somewhere to have a browse but no idea where or who would sells these ?

stevie_b Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Not sure what the winch will need to pull (a car I guess), but what about the stuff that's often fitted to Land Rover front bumpers? If that would do the trick, Warn winches have a good reputation AFAIK. http://www.warn.com/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You get the new disks on it finally then? My friend owns a trailer/transporter shop in Dorset. I can ask him if you want for models/prices? Or if you find one you like I can possibly get a reasonable price for one if they stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 That Warn website, dont seem to list prices for their winches ? Can't help you there I'm afraid chap. I've never bought one so couldn't even guess at the price. If you think they might be suitable, your best bet is to look up a supplier on the net.

Chris Wilson Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I got a 12 volt one off Ebay for somethiing a year or two back. They had 24 volt ones, too. Machine Mart sell some as well. Decent ones are EXPENSIVE, the budget ones are a bit naff but OK for occasional usage, my cheap one worked OK, but was as noisy as hell, and the pull rating is often quoted using a (supplied) line doubler, which halves the effective distance between winch and vehicle.

Chris, any idea where stocks these, retail wise, I want to try and stay away from the cheap one's, it wil be used a couple of times a month, not worried about noise though........

Chris Wilson Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 http://www.electricwinches.co.uk/ If you want a GOOD one buy a Warn, for example: http://www.warn.com/truck/winches/12.0-endurance.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
