E.g.
No-name 12V electric winch 9500lb 5.5hp/4.0kW motor w. remote controller and 4-way fairlead - $899.

Maxi-Trac Hand Winch kit (incl. storage bags and gloves) 2500kg hauling capacity, 20m of 11mm wire cable, AS1418.2 compliant - $349

The hand winch is tempting me...:)

We didnt get to test mine on the BBQ weekend cause scouses timing is crap but from the inspection i have given it it looks the goods for what you and i would use it for, ie not heavy duty frequent work then i reckon its worth the dollars. Matt

But 1600kg would(should) be the lift capacity as thats how they are rated ie T-516 my Brano is rated at 1600kg lift.

Nope. I checked it out today - maximum pulling capacity 1600Kg, not designed for lifting at all or so it says. Made in China, looks like the real thing but I'm not going to risk my Disco with it.;)

Heres one on ebay, Victoria

look up Nobles, they carry the Tirfor brand as well their own Nobles Rig-Mate creeper winch. Even if made in China I would expect it to be a good quality winch as Nobles are a known company of good reputation.

5 and a bit years between posts. Has to be a record!!!:p
