Frequently Asked Questions
What battery setup do I need?
Our winches run off your main battery supply or a dual setup, so it has versatile suitability to whatever battery arrangement you prefer.
Why are your motors black not stainless?
That's an intentional choice, we utilise an oversized epoxy-coated 4 brush motor on every drum winch for true efficiency and a longer lifespan. Others use aluminium sleeves which put your motor at risk of water ingress or corrosion over time.
Do you offer free fall?
We don't have a free fall feature as standard with our winches are it sacrifices the structural integrity of the unit. They are driven up-down with switches and are very quick however we can customise your winch for this feature if you wish upon request.
How do I claim warranty?
Your 5 year warranty begins after purchase and you can be rest assured that we backup our warranties in-house with large quantities of any and all components you may need down the track.
Are they easy to install?
Our drum winches are very easy to self install.
