My buddy uses them for his trailer for scraping cars. Never let him down. Powerful and cheap. And I think they all come with wireless remotes. I know his 10k and 12k did.

Nice selection, good pricing ... Except on the hydraulic winch.
I really like the tensioner.

An alternative is keep an eye on ebay every once in a while you will find used warns for a good price

I would suggest running dual batteries depending on how much you plan to use it... Or... a good spiral grid deep cycle battery and upgrade on the alternator depending on the vehicle.
Wondering why 11k lbs. is needed really unless you are moving a motor home or something... I would think an 9k/lbs winch would suffice for any normal wheeler.

There is a thread on jeepkings about these winchs.
I have had the oppertunity to dismantle one and I am not impressed with the quality of the assembly, or parts.
Some examples are poor QA on the greese (or amount of), porosity in welds holding sprockets to hubs, Bad electrical connections.

If you decied to get one I strongly reccomend you go over all the electrical connections, it was bad electrical connections that had the PO of the winch I dissassembled give up ont eh winch and company and "donate" the winch to me

cheers
