Warn Industries Introduces New Rock Crawling Winch
Las Vegas, NV (Nov. 1, 2005) - Building
on the success of its 9.0R
professional rock crawling winch, Warn Industries today introduced the
new 9.0Rc winch targeted to the growing number of rock crawling
vehicles.
Like
its professional counterpart, the 9.0Rc is a short-drum, 9,000-lb.
winch that features a 4.8 hp Series Wound Motor for fast line speeds
and long duty cycles. An exclusive, multi-segment Cam Actuated Brake
gives positive operator control during winching. Overall weight of the
unit is just 54 lbs.
The
9.0Rc resembles the 9.0R with its Chromate Gloss Red Paint for
superior corrosion resistance and comes standard with 50’ of 3/8”
diameter synthetic rope. Other features include: a rugged, 360-degree
swivel hook and thimble; a polished aluminum hawse fairlead; and a
Ballistic Nylon Sliding Sleeve that provides extra rope protection
against abrasion and wear.
The
new winch also comes with Warn Industries’ restyled remote control,
which has a built-in flashlight and WARN S2 (Smart Sense) features such
as an intuitive rocker switch and high-impact polymer grip.
“Rock
crawling is growing tremendously and the new 9.0Rc is designed
for drivers looking for a lightweight winch that gives optimal
performance,” said Dave Burns, Warn Industries’ Vice President of Truck
and SUV.
Warn
Industries built a limited number of 9.0R winches last January for
qualified professional rock crawling competitors. The short-drum,
9,000-lb. winch more than proved its worth and became the No. 1 winch
in rock crawling by compiling 32 wins during the 2005 season.
