They look the goods. Nearly as fast as the tripple motor low mount of the rocky guys. That thing is seriously fast. 40klmh to winch in. :shock:

It's similar in specs to a Milemarker (or OX)

---> Both have 6:1 reduction planetary gearbox's.

---> Milemarker 10500lb winch has a 17.9 cu in /rev (295cc/rev) motor

---> Milemarker test data proves 100 bar (1450psi) is required to get full line pull.


They fit 160cc/rev or 100cc/rev motors depending on model and state that 200 bar (2900psi) is required for full pull.

If you consider the 100cc/rev motor is 3 times smaller in displacement than the Milemarker you would expect theoretically for the pressure to be 3 times higher, ie 3 x 100 bar = 300 bar, (not 200 bar). I know that they use roller bearings in the RED winches to reduce friction compared to the plastic bushes in the milemarker, but the pressure still seems a bit lower than i would have assumed.

--> 200 bar seems about right for the 160cc/rev motor however.


My RUNVA has a 33:1 gearbox and 50cc/rev motor which is (33/6) 5.5 times more reduction than the milemarker but the motor is also (295/50) 5.9 times smaller so fairly similar.


Their crank drive setup looks ok.

The crank driven set up does look nice. Curious how they keep oil too the pump, can it suck it from where ever the storage tank is ? Theres a second toothed belt running to the botom of the engine wonder what thats for ?
I rang them up on friday for some more info, there winch Guru was away. will try them next week for some more info.
Got some info on the milemaker Type R winch too,
The complete Type R winch with motor is £875 excluding VAT.
The cost to ship one to you would be £167.90.
Works out to about $1800 au
The quality of the RED winch is impressive will have a cat with them and sus out the best options

Thats for the type R Milemarker winch only.
Had a look on their web site they do a complete Pto system for 2450gbp about $4200 aud. The speed is comparable to a twin motor giglepin set up they reckon.
