Winches
Why Choose A Ramsey Winch?
All Ramsey designs evolve from field experience.Ramsey is the “Standard” in the towing and recovery market among those who count on a winch every day to earn a living! In fact, 9 out of 10 tow truck operators demand Ramsey over any other winch. The same industrial design practices are used in all of our self-recovery automotive winches.
How Large Of A Winch Do I Need?
Choosing the right winch for your needs may seem complex, but it’s actually quite simple. Two pieces of information are required:
Vehicle Weight
To calculate your vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), start with your vehicle’s curb weight, then add the weight of the supplies and equipment you’ll typically be carrying.
Line Pull
The rated line pull of the winch must be high enough to pull your vehicle’s GVW while overcoming resistance encountered when you’re stuck or on an incline. Ramsey Winch recommends that you select a winch with a rated line pull at least 25% greater than your GVW.
