Superwinch's LP8500 8500 lb (3856 kg) winch is designed to accommodate entry-level buyers
shopping for excellent value. Meeting the rugged demands of off-road and utility use, the LP8500
introduces price conscious buyers to the quality, power, and performance advantages of the
Superwinch brand. The brake in this winch is designed to engage at approximately 45% of the
rated line pull for off-road self recovery applications. In most trailer applications, you're dealing
with a rolling load rather than pulling a dead weight. It is often said that one can probably push
your vehicle but most can't lift it. The LP Series winch drum will "coast" after lifting off of the
toggle switch in a trailer application as compared to the S5000 trailer winch which has literally
no coast (instant stop). You should select those winch features that you find most beneficial and
that allow you to load the trailer safely by yourself. Perfect for vehicle recovery, offroad and utility
purposes.
