......another thing is i couldnt seem to find anyhing over 2 tonne.
you didnt look very far
Tirfor T35 Pull 5 ton...Lift 3.5 ton on eBay, also Winches, Lifting Tools, Industrial Tools, Business, Office Industrial (end time 26-Nov-08 22:26:04 GMT)
ohhhhhhh you want one of those shiny bling leccy things
we use them to pull structral steel into line on site befre we concret into position heavy feckens but indestructable and easy to useA Tirfors is rated as A SWL of 1.6tonnes or 3.2tonnes but it's pulling capacity is usually double that, add a snatchblock into the equation and a tirfor will happily pull 5 or 6 tonnes. More than enough to recover a stuck landrover.
Electric winches are a waste of money unless you invest in a husky or top of the range warn. If ya don't it'll fry solenoids, flatten batteries or just plain seize solid when ya need it most.
how come ur not a fan of ''leccy'' winches?
Warn Warn Warn ......................
tirfers dont break down are virtually maintenace free (bit o oil/grease)can be used on other vehicles(handy when stuck 3 in a row on a lane and the motor at the front aint got a winch)yer why not, if im stuck the last thing i wanna do is hand crank would b much easier to push a button!
how come ur not a fan of ''leccy'' winches?
surely there must be somthing very similar for a fraction of the price? with warn are u not paying partly for the name?
Psst Make sure you dunt drop the triffor on your foot, it will hurt.
