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 LP8500 is a great winch for those looking for
a 8000lb winch class performer.
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.
