Runva car winches

No one wants to struggle anymore, that is why we got hold of these top class tested and affordable winches. No one wants to struggle to load a buck onto the back of the pickup purely using your hands and then risk back injury. With the large ‘ATV’ winch, you don’t have to struggle anymore, you can do the job on your own with ease. This winch could even pull up an Eland using the snatch block, the EWP4500, the bigger class winch, can even do this direct.

We tested with the 2000lbs winch, this is quite flimsy, but it managed to load a few hundred Gemsbok. The EW3500 is much stronger and a higher build quality, but still at an affordable price, even if it’s not used as much it would still be worth it. If the price seems to low, we can adjust it a bit to let you feel better ;)

The bigger Winch, two speed 12000lbs directly (9000lbs would be too small for a Landcruiser), is a rarity winch! Where else would you get a two speed winch like this? No more time wasting waiting for the rope to be rolled in again after recovery. Even to pull a buck up onto the bakkie would be at least twice as quick.
We also keep synthetic rope, which will make a difference of about 10kg when compared with steel cable, prolonging the life of your front shocks and springs.

We tested these Runva winches over a few years already, and had no problems. They performed better than the more expensive Warn winches we had. We even keep winch accessories and spare parts, where else would you get these in Namibia.

A few tips to extend winch life:

• When pulling something, never overload the winch - meaning do not let the motor get to stand still or come even close to it.
• Never toggle between on and off, this will overheat electric motors as the starting current is the highest.
• If using Winch permanently, do not let it overheat.
• Check all bolts regularly if loosened through vibrations or wear, use thread locker.
• Some bullbars don't like to be pulled at an angle, this will cause them to bend.
• When pulling a heavy weight a tigh rope can be quite dangerous, use at least two weights spread equaly apart on the rope for incase it snaps. E.g. something bigger, like a blanket, jacket or mat this would brake the rope down and guide it to the ground preventing possible damage. A good rope would not snap that easily, your tow bar bolts would give in before this happens.
• A winch is stronger and slower when there is little rope left on drum.
• Keep your car idling while winching, although alternator only gives max 60-80A, your battery will not run flat and this helps. If your engines stalls or lights dim heavily while winching, your battery is probably letting you down-it cannot supply enough current anymore (needs to supply about 300A!). First test the battery, before you think there is something wrong with the winch or solenoids, rather replace your battery with a bigger stronger one.
