Winch ZHME

Hello I know that here the bast like the warn winches but anyone have real opinion of zhme winches zhme.com . Their specs on E series 9500 12500 and 15000lb seem quite fine for me. Thanks.

The only thing I would be wary of is warranty issues. Is Runva a brand that is available to you? I've had great luck with them and they're 1/2 the cost of a warn, yet still have a very good warranty (I found out first hand when I bent one of their drums through misuse).

The specs look good. I just looked at a 12500 lb winch with nice line speeds, faster than my Warn and lower
amp draws. They sure seem to have lots of selection. I got a giggle out of the cold weather grease, good to
-40C , that ought to serve you well in Ecuador!
Is this an internet order or do you actually have a dealer there? Not so much warranty as much as whether you
can get service should you need it.
BTW, I have a Warn 9500 on the front of my 60, and a Runva 11500 on the rear. Both
are good so far after 4 yrs. Minimal use, but used

If you get one, take it out and use it. Then post a review back up here. The only thing that used to
be a concern is the contactor, but I assume the controller is an electronic contactor ~ Albright style,
not a 4 pack of solenoids.

Not familiar with them. Posting a short review would be great.
