Ramsey Omega 8,000 Heavy Duty Planetary Winch

Automatic Load-Holding Brake

Equipped with a strong, automatic load-holding brake engineered for maximum strength and reliability. It securely holds the winch's full 8,000-lb. rated line capacity during stationary holds and heavy pulls.

Superior Cable Management

Includes an integrated Ramsey spring-loaded roller tensioner that maintains consistent tension on the drum. This prevents wire rope binding, reduces overlapping and significantly extends cable service life.

Low-Profile Envelope for Rollbacks & Car Carriers

Delivers an optimal power-to-weight ratio in a low-profile envelope designed to save space and weight. Its compact footprint allows for clean, easy installation in tight car carrier and rollback mounting setups.

Field-Serviceable Hydraulic Design

Engineered to eliminate job-site downtime, the Ramsey Omega 8 features a streamlined design that can be serviced directly in the field. This field-first construction saves maintenance hours and keeps recovery vehicles on the road.

Dual Free-Spool Clutch Control Options (Air Shift or Manual)

Available with a pneumatic air shift clutch for convenient cab-controlled free-spool actuation or a spring-loaded pull-and-rotate manual shift knob. Both options deliver rapid cable payout for fast, safe roadside setups.

High-Efficiency Planetary Gearing

Combines a rugged 5.1:1 single-stage planetary gear set with a heavy-duty 15.2 cu in./rev. hydraulic motor to deliver line retrieval speeds up to 52 FPM at 17 GPM (1st layer). Engineered for high mechanical efficiency, rapid line recovery and long service life under continuous usage.

Manual

Simple, zero pneumatic lines required, ideal for straightforward mechanical beds.

Air Release

Integrates with existing onboard air systems, enables remote/cab operation and keeps drivers off the side of dangerous highways.
