While everyone aspires to have the best-known winch brand on the block, sometimes you have to cut back on cost, hopefully without short-changing on quality – which is where the RTS winch enters the picture. Sold under the Titan brand in the US and as the Tiger in Australia, this 13 000lb (5890kg) single line pull unit is available in a new and improved version with a solid feature set.
This includes a 5.2kW (7.2HP) series wound motor, 218:1 gear ratio for a torquey, fast pull, larger brake area for more secure holding power, a wired and wireless remote, IP67 rating on the motor, a gearbox and solenoid good enough to withstand immersion for 30m in water 1 metre deep, and a quality synthetic (polyethylene) 10mmx 26m rope.
The mounting bolt pattern is standard and the dimensions a compact 508x156x190mm. It carries a twoyear warranty and delivery is available countrywide.
