Q: Could you please let me know the difference – apart from a few pounds – between the Landrover Aircon Tubular bumper FF50 & Terrafirma FF001AC.
I have a 2006 TD5 90 CSW XS with AC & definitely do not want to have to cut any of the radiator front / trim off in order to mount. The TF model seems to require some trimming – but not sure! Is the FF50 installed without any modifications? Which is better?
A: You actually have to do a bit of trimming of the grill for both these, however instead of the FF50 we actually do a FF118 which is a modified version of this that has been designed to take the winch without trimming the grill. There’s a little more work in the manufacture of these and so the cost is a little higher than the FF50.
Cost - £349.81 +vat
There are sill the holes for the swivel recovery eyes should you need them and jacking points etc.
These are in stock at the moment and so, if you want one we can get one sent out more or less straight away for you. It’s not currently advertised on our website, so if you just call the office, we can take payment over the phone and get one shipped out.

For those customers requiring winches fitting to the towball of their vehicles to pull boats on trailers out of the water or up the slipway along with other applications, this maybe of use to you:
For only relatively light boats and trailer, you only need one of the small Champion (Warrior) winches, you can choose any of the following although I’d always suggest getting the largest capacity winch out of these in your budget. The theory being the larger the capacity, the less hard your winch is working and the longer it’ll last. So, I would consider one of the following three winches:
C2000A 12v:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c2000-a-12v-winch.html
C2500A 12v:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c2500-a-12v-winch.html
C3500A 12v:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c3500-a-12v-winch.html
Then you would need to buy the towball mounted winch plate:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/mounting-plates/towballplates/bak-rak-small-towbar-mount.html
In order to get power to the winch you would either need a separate battery near your towball to connect the winch electrics upto or you would need to run a set of battery cables to the towball area and crimp on a snap connector with the mating part of the snap connector on the winch battery leads so that when you mount your winch onto the towball you can then just snap the connectors together and you’re good to go!
We do the battery leads 3m long as standard so you would just have to check to see if these are long enough for your vehicle, if not you can source these for most electrical trade shops to whatever length you need. These can be see on our website here (comes with isolator switch too):
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/winch-accessories/electrical/2-x-3m-battery-extension-leads.html
Then the snap connectors can be seen here:

Question: I am looking for a winch to mount on a 4x4 (tow-bar mount maybe) to pull logs up a slope. The Champion C6000s looks like it could do the job, but I have questions:
How do I determine the safe load to put on a towbar in the first place? Is there a sensible alternative?
If it is pulling say a 1000lb log up a slope (using a ‘sledge’ to help it slide) pulling maybe 10m at 2mps, thats a five minute pull! How should a car battery cope with such useage, or am I in cloud cuckoo land?
If the log gets snagged, does a safety mechanism stop the system self-destructing?
Answer:
Towbars are usually rated at 3500 Kg so I would suggest nothing more powerful than a 8000 lb capacity winch. Saying this you’re only pulling 1000 lbs so I’d suggest just getting a C3500A 12v winch and a small bakrak towball mount. This should do the trick no problem.
You’d probably also need a set of battery extension cables to run from your 4x4 battery to the towball area and the a set of snap connectors to easily be able to connect the power to the winch battery leads. Hope this makes sense. It’s a very common application we’ve done many times.
These are the parts you would need:
Champion C3500A 12v winch:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c3500-a-12v-winch.html
Towball Bak Rak to suit this winch:

Battery extension leads:

Snap Connectors:

Question: Good morning
I am after a winch to mount on a Nissan Cabstar pickup suitable for winching up compact tractors which weigh 1 ton. It would need to be 12 volts and have a cable length of about 6 mtr.
Answer:
Many thanks for your valued enquiry. Looking at your requirement I would suggest something like the Champion C8000EWX 12v winch. These are a very capable winch at a very reasonable price. It comes with a stainless steel roller fairlead, wired AND wireless remote controls, double sealed motor and gearbox and 8000 lbs (3600 Kg) of pulling capacity.
For more information on this winch see it on our website here:
http://www.electricwinchshop.co.uk/champion-c8000-ewx-12v-winch.html
The winch mounting plate you would need for this can be seen here:

WINCH NEWS!!!
CHAMPION Winches are in the process of changing their name to WARRIOR WINCHES.
There is obviously an overlap of winches having the usual ‘Champion’ branding as stock depletes and gets replaced with ‘Warrior’ winch branding. The winches however, are exactly the same. It’s just the nameplates and boxes that are changing.
These will still be available through www.electricwinchshop.co.uk
The reasoning behind Champion changing their name to Warrior is as follows should you be interested:
The Champion winches are now a worldwide brand and sold overseas in N. America and Canada as ‘Warrior Winches’ having two different brand names for the winches just isn’t convenient as often ‘Champion’ stock from the UK can be sent overseas to the USA and Canada market to help out with stock. So from this point of view all winches need to be branded the same and so the brand ‘Warrior’ for the Champion winches will be introduced in the UK to make it one global brand.
For Champion winches here in the UK it will be “business as normal” and all the winches going from Champion to Warrior will be readily available from the ELECTRIC WINCH SHOP
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the rebranding of the Champion winches to Warrior winches please don’t hesitate to call us on 01274 680744 or email: sales@autoliftuk.com

S5000 Questions:
Hi, I am thinking of buying a Superwinch S5000 12v from you and was just wanting to know if the the Budget 12v Wireless Control can be connected to this winch.
I will be fitting this to a car trailer can I use my own flat mounting plate or does it require it’s own one.
Also can this winch be supplied with synthetic rope.
I don’t suppose you can fit the remote for me when I buy one?
Also do you supply spare plastic housings in case it does get broken?
What connections are there on it for connecting my power leads and what sort of power pack rating is recommended?
Once ordered what is the delivery time, i.e. are they in stock
Many thanks and sorry for all the questions!
A:
As for synthetic ropes, we don’t offer them on this winch just at the moment, however later on in the year (and it could be a fair old while off yet), there will be the S5000 ‘Danny O’Day’ model which will be supplied with synthetic rope and integral wireless remote.. trouble is there’s no ETA on this!
You can buy the S5000 here:
There is just one S5000 12v winch in at Superwinch the moment with a shipment landing Friday (24/1/12) should it sell in the meantime. The 24v ones are in stock. These go out on a next day service if ordered before 2:30 ish. Bit late for today so it’d go out tomorrow now and you’d get it Wednesday. I’m afraid we don’t install the wireless remotes and replacement covers are readily available, but it shouldn’t come to that. I may of made it sound more risky than what it actually is just so you exercise caution when fitting!
The winch comes with battery leads already fitted that are designed to work off a standard 12v car battery. (Or 24v battery obviously if you go for that model).
