Buyer’s Guide

Deciding on the motors for an Electric Winch

There are two basic types of Electric Winch Motors, the SW, Series Wound or PM Permanent Magnet. These two types have their strengths and weaknesses. For frequent users, they should buy the Series Wound Motor, because it works consistently for heavy duty jobs in all kinds of weather. Permanent Magnet Motors are usually found in light duty and cheaper models of Electric Winches. These are for light use only and produce less power in frigid weather.         

I will now mix and match the Winch Application to the proper motor type and use. Please be careful when using Electric Winches for these kinds of labor, the wrong one may cause the Electric Winch to breakdown sooner. 

Please take these things in consideration when buying an Electric Winch to avoid problems.
