Please Note: Ramsey REP 5000™ winches 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 further
information.
