Please Note:
Ramsey RE 8000, RE 10,000 and RE 12,000 series winch-
es are designed for front mount vehicle use. The winches are not
designed for and should not be used in industrial applications (car haulers
/carriers, wreckers, hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to
be suitable for such use. Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of
winches for industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory for
additional information.
