The Runva EWL12000 is the perfect entry level winch. With a massive 12,000lb line pull, this will easily get you out of trouble. Just to prove how strong it is, Runva opted to use this model on the 4WD 24/7 camera car instead of the Runva 11XP Premium like featured on most of their other vehicles. It has been on there for over a year with not a single hiccup to date – and this winch gets used a lot! The camera car tackles all the hard tracks first – if you have ever seen where they go you will know how tough this winch really is.The EWL12000 features automatic braking via the screw cone brake system. The gearbox is a three stage full steel planetary setup with a sliding ring gear clutch which is strong and efficient.
