Runva Winch Industries provide the confidence for you to take your 4x4 adventures to their limit.
If you're someone who enjoys a 4x4 adventure and tends to get into sticky situations, whether it's mud, soft sand, or rocky inclines, a reliable winch is a piece of kit you'll want to have with you at all times. Runva winches are created with state-of-the-art technology that is built to last and with a 5-year Electrical and Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, if there is a manufacturing issue, you'll be covered.
Runva Has Your Back in the Outback
A winch is an important piece of recovery gear to have when you're out in the bush and you'll want something that you can rely on. The Runva 13XP Premium is one of Runva's most popular winches sold at Repco, with 13,000lbs of line pull and a 7.6HP motor, it's a fantastic option for your Landcruiser or other large 4x4 as it offers a ton of winching power and attaches to a wide range of bull bars.
This winch has full IP67 ingress protection, one of the highest levels of protection for electrical enclosures that provides complete defence against dust and other particles, as well as protection against being submerged in water up to one metre deep. For extreme 4x4 excursions and off-the-beaten-track rambling, you're going to feel safe in the knowledge that you can haul your fourbie out of that bog hole you got yourself stuck in and keep on truckin'.
Benefits of Mounting a Winch At the Front or Back of Your Vehicle
Both can be beneficial for various reasons. Front-mounting a winch means that you can continue forward over your obstacle if you're stuck, can climb steep inclines more easily, as well as being able to see better from the driver's seat during the winching process —you're also going to require shorter electrical leads from your battery to the winch. However, a rear-mounted winch is often better for self-recovery and for helping out another stranded vehicle. It also has the added benefit of being available if your front bumper gets buried or submerged.
Popular Questions about Runva Winch
Should You Winch in Neutral or Drive?
If you are trying to pull yourself out of a difficult situation, you'll want to be in drive to use the power of the engine to help the winch pull your vehicle. When you're attempting to recover a stranded vehicle with a winch, you should place your car in neutral and place your foot on the brake, while the vehicle being winched should be in drive to assist with the recovery themselves.
Do Winches Need Maintenance?
As with any piece of machinery, maintenance is incredibly important, especially if you're putting your vehicle through volatile situations consistently. Runva recommends that you should do a visual check of all electrical connections every 4-6 weeks, tighten up terminals and test the battery every 12 months, and perform a full inspection of the gearbox and motor as well as replace any worn motor brushes every 24 months.
