ARN Industries, a leading choice in ATV winches, now offers synthetic rope upgrades and extensions for popular WARN powersports winches. A premium feature increasingly sought by knowledgeable users, synthetic rope offers less weight with more flexibility for easier handling, and is also more durable in most applications. In addition, synthetic rope stores less kinetic energy in case of breakage. This makes it an increasingly popular choice for experienced winch users including mud bog riders, hunters, and occupational users like farmers, ranchers, and utility companies. WARN Synthetic Rope Replacement Kits allow all terrain vehicle users to upgrade their currently installed WARN 1.5, 2.5, or 3.0 winches. The 1.5 winch kit includes 40-feet of 5/32-inch diameter synthetic rope, while the kit for the 2.5 and 3.0 winches includes 50-feet of 3/16-inch diameter synthetic rope. A rock guard sleeve is included on every Synthetic Rope Replacement Kit to eliminate abrasion damage from hard surfaces. The abrasion sleeve can be slid along the winch rope and placed in locations that contact debris or obstacles like boulders during winching in order to protect the rope from damage. Both kits also include a roller fairlead to reduce wear from friction and ease pulling at difficult angles. When switching to synthetic rope, a roller fairlead that has been used with wire rope must be replaced due to the rough surfaces that have been created during the use of the wire rope. In each case, the upgrade to synthetic rope will save about 2.25-pounds per winch installation when compared to steel cable. With the huge base of installed WARN ATV winches, this presents a significant opportunity to generate additional revenue from your existing customers. And for those really long distances to a good anchor or a mud-mired big quad, the WARN Synthetic Rope Extension provides an additional 50-feet of reach with 4,000-pounds of pulling capacity. The lightweight extension rope won’t rattle around in a cargo box and attaches easily to the existing winch cable, synthetic or wire rope, to handle those problem pulls. It’s something every winch user should have in their bag of tricks. Sound safety practices, including the use of gloves, are still strongly recommended when winching with synthetic rope. And be sure to mention the WARN winching accessory kit to your synthetic rope customers, as it includes two shackles, a snatch block, and two tree truck protectors to make winching easier, more versatile, and safer. Ask your Parts Unlimited sales rep to help you take advantage of the increasing demand for this premium winching product. Synthetic rope can definitely help you pull more profits out of your ATV winch sales past, present, and future. And don’t forget to ask about WARN’s attractive and effective accessory merchandising aids, either. It’s all available at Parts Unlimited. |
