I have one of the USA branded
Well know branded winch on my patrol
Retail is over $1500

Never again
I will go with the cheaper models in future and save my money

I read a while ago (a number of years I think) that one batch of aldi winches were re-branded iron-man winches.

Depends who aldi get a good deal from.

Check it out on the net and some of the other forums have discussions on them.

I ran two Aldi winches on two Prado's over ten years. Never had an issue with either one. If the Warn ever died on my Patrol I would not hesitate replacing it with an Aldi unit. I think the most important thing with the cheaper winches is to pull them apart when new, replace the grease with quality stuff, and apply a bead of sealant on all gaskets/seals.

Theres a mob at the back of Tullamarine Park drive that see 12,00lb winches for about $400
Place is called Radum they import chinese equipment like pipe benders,, 12t press'sPlenty of gear
thats for sure

Not sure how new the one you're talking about is, however I bought one over a year ago and you could rotate them. I did a write up on installing into a std Nissan winch bar. You'll also find a thread on installing into an alloy bar using a winch cradle if you have a search.

Thanks
