Please note: Ramsey Triple X 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, hoist-
ing, 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.
