Warn Industries
Warn Industries, based in Oregon, introduces a new series of DC-powered electric hoists. The DC800 and DC1000 hoists, with capacities of 800 lbs. (363 kg) and 1,000 lbs. (454 kg), can be utilized for various purposes such as work truck cranes, davits, and on overlanding rigs to lift heavy spare tires.
The new DC-powered hoists are equipped with powerful 12- or 24-volt permanent magnet motors for plenty of grunt, and the reliable all-metal three-stage planetary gear train is smooth, quiet, and super durable. There's permanent grease lubrication for low maintenance, and an automatic mechanical brake will hold the hoist's full-rated load. The units are both IP68 and IP69K waterproof to protect them from the elements and keep them in top working order. They also wear a gloss black powder-coated finish and use stainless steel fasteners for enhanced UV and corrosion resistance helping to provide a long service life.
The new DC800 and DC1000 will replace the existing WARN DC800/DC1000 hoists, making these the newest generation in lifting products from Warn. The new DC800/DC1000 hoists include a standard steel mounting plate and all the required hardware for a quick, easy installation. Items such as wire rope, contactor, controls, and roller fairlead, are sold separately allowing buyers to create a hoist they need for their specific lifting tasks. All these items are available for purchase from Warn Industries' retailers/distributors.

Hoist Vs. Winch
A hoist and a winch are both devices that are used to move heavy objects, but they are different tools. A hoist is used on a vertical plane for lifting. A winch is used on a horizontal plane for pulling. A hoist will have a number of added safety factors making it a better, safer tool for lifting. For example, there's no clutch on a hoist that could disengage while an item is being lifted. Users should not attempt to use winches with a clutch to lift objects vertically— and this is where WARN®hoists come into play.
