Please Note: Ramsey RE 8000 and RE 12000 Series winches are

should not be used in industrial applications (car haulers/carriers, wreckers,
hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to be suitable for such
use. Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of winches for
industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory for further informa-
tion.
