FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Ramsey Winch has a world-wide reputation for toughness and reliability. The design
of this long established product has been well proven over the years for many applications.
To ensure the best service from your Ramsey Winch it is most important to follow these
instructions for its fitting and subsequent operation.
Irrespective of how the winch is mounted it is important that adequate provision is made so
that the load is transmitted into the body of the vehicle and then into the chassis.
TYPES OF WINCH MOUNTING
BEHIND THE CAB
Flush with Vehicle Deck using bracket part no. BM0001
Fit two channel or angle members between the first and second cross bearer spaced at
635mm (25"), the mounting bracket width. If fitting to a body with timber deck it may be
necessary to raise mounting height and the following method is suggested.
Weld or bolt 50mm (2" x 2") angle sections to the top of the channel members. Also use
this method when it is necessary to clear gear linkage or other chassis protrusions.
Using the mounting bracket as a jig, drill three holes 11mm (7/16") diameter each side into
the channel or angle members. Remove mounting bracket and fit this to the winch with
eight 3/8" diameter U.N.C. 20mm cap head screws supplied with kit.
