inch mounting kits
When we started importing WARN winches in the 1970s, we
soon realized that there was only a limited number of winch
mounting kits. They had been developed mainly for US-vehicles
and did not conform to the requirements of the TÜV.
Therefore we started the development of our own winch mounting
kits in the 1980s for the Lada Niva, Mercedes G, Range Rover
and Suzuki LJ80 and delivered them with TUV certification and
mounting instructions to our customers. Early on we expanded
the American idea of “mulitmount-systems” and developed the
corresponding mounting kits to allow our customers to install the
winch only when needed.
Just recently the requirements have changed tremendously.
We develop now mainly the so called “Hidden Mounting Kits”
for customers who want the WARN-winch on their vehicle
permanently. New vehicle models which are “pedestrian
friendly” and most of the time have no real frame, have higher
specifications and complicate the development of the mounting
kits. That is why we are working with the support of CAD-
programs and all newly developed products are road tested.
Of high quality, technically detailed, comprehensive mounting
instructions and of course the certificate – this distinguishes our
mounting kits from our competitors!
This means that we do not only supply you a metal plate that
fits your vehicle more or less but we offer you a mounting kit,
manufactured to fit your vehicle in detail, including mounting kit,
certificate, detailed mounting instructions and if necessary further
parts like longer battery or connecting cables, extended plugs,
and a cover for the roller fairlead, etc.!
To protect against corrosion and to meet the exacting
expectations of the car manufacturers, we first have the parts
cataphoretically coated and then coated again with plastic.
Our customers know that, when they purchase our products, they
are getting value and quality for their money and, in the long run,
save money as their product will outlive the inferior quality that
some competitors offer.
