{"product_id":"6000-lb-12v-planetary-recovery-winch","title":"6,000 lb Electric Recovery Winch | 12V Planetary","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PS6000 is the lightest-duty 12V planetary recovery winch in the Pierce line — 6,000 lb pulling capacity from a 5.5 HP motor that draws 290 amps at peak, the easiest in the family on a stock automotive electrical system. Built for car trailers, light vehicle recovery, and equipment positioning where 6K is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen should I pick the 6K instead of stepping up to the 9K?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree reasons. The 290-amp peak draw runs cleanly off most stock alternator + battery setups without an electrical upgrade. The smaller drum and lighter wire rope (9\/32 in × 65 ft) cuts overall winch weight, which matters on car trailers and lightweight rigs. And the 6K capacity is enough headroom for any sub-3,500 lb load most car trailers see — anything bigger, step up to the 9K.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6,000 lb rated pulling capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V DC, 5.5 HP motor — 290 amp peak draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-stage planetary gear, 218:1 ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 fpm max line speed — controlled pulling for light loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic built-in drum brake — holds load on release, no rollback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliding ring-gear clutch — manual engagement at the winch for free-spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast metal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 9\/32 in × 65 ft wire rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended battery: 650 CCA | Wire: 2 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePierce SKU PS6000 — typically in stock, fast turnaround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more pulling power and the line's fastest line speed, see the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/products\/9000-lb-12v-planetary-recovery-winch\"\u003e9,000 lb 12V Planetary Recovery Winch\u003c\/a\u003e.
