Twin Motor Conversions for the Warn 8274 Winch


Dec 8, 2006

2006-12-08_warn_gigglepin.gifThe British Land Rover specialty company, Gigglepin, has developed a conversion to install twin 6 hp Warn XP motors onto a single 8274 Warn winch. The result is twice the power and twice the speed of a conventional 8274. This winch was developed for competition but it has a lot of draw for recreational 'wheelers as well. Very, very cool.

Gigglepin can also provide a conversion that uses twin 24V Bowmotors for 24-volt applications.

Their twin-motor setup trianglates the drive train ensuring full gear-tooth contact, hence no possibility of tooth damage through partial engagement.

Advantages:

  • Twice the power, twice the speed.
  • Drive line triangalation for maximum strength.
  • Decreased motor effort, saving motors and batteries.
  • Sustained line rate on hard pulls.
  • Higher maximum load capacity.

Gigglepin also has a video featuring their winch in action (it'll take a few seconds to load, before it starts playing):

We're not aware of their conversion being available in North America, yet, so for more information, visit Gigglepin's website: www.gigglepin4x4.net
