electric winches

I think I remember reading somewhere that Premier are made overseas to the australian importers design/specs.

Premier winches, I have since found out are made overseas, but to to australian spec's. They were designed by the 4wd warehouse. Apparently they looked a the warn winch and changed the things they felt were not to good like the braking system etc. They are quieter than a warn winch and parts are readily available so I am told. They are also the only winch approved by the NSW work cover authority. Again so I'm told. If you want more info on them you can ring them direct at the 4wd warehouse. Hope this helps.

Rusty,

I'm in a similar position as Phil. Looking at the Premier winch. This is primarily driven by their ability to accomodate plasma rope instead of wire. Is there anything that I should be aware of re the Premier winches. fit, operation reliability etc?

Thanks

That is one of the good things about this winch as against the warn. The braking system has been moved from inside the drum so as not to create all that heat that can affect the plasma ropes etc. The down side is the winch is slightly wider so just make sure you have enough space. Apart from that it is not to hard to install

They are made in Tiawan. Try finding anything that isn't imported these days. It is really starting to annoyme
