Twin-Motor top housing for 8274 winch.

Jim Marsden on his way to winning the Ultimate challange 2008
Using a +25% Twin motor top housing and a pair of 12v Bow Motors

The Gigglepin 4x4 designed top housing is manufactured from sand-cast and heat-treated LM25 aluminium. Does not flex, ensuring accurate, consistent gear meshing. It also has additional fixings to the lower casing.

Designed to present a flat front to the winch to protect the motors from impact.

 

The cover plate is machined from billet alloy, featuring tappings for venting and filling.

New wider one-piece intermediate gear-set machined from EN36 and case hardened; reduced gear loading, reduced backlash (fewer gears, more precisely machined), with stronger, better wear characteristics.


The intermediate shaft is supported by large ball bearings at each end, rather than the original very small internal needle roller bearings. Less drag means more power. Big bearings mean big reliability.

New input gears are again machined from EN36 and case-hardened, to provide drive from the motors to the intermediate gear set. These gears too are supported at both ends by large roller bearings, rather than relying on the motor to give the required support, again to ensure proper meshing, less drag and consistent reliability.

All gears have new, wider tooth profiles to reduce loading and stop tooth breakage.

The gear material specification has been raised from EN24 to EN36 for increased strength and reliability.
The gears are machined accurately for superior meshing, reduced backlash (helping withstand shock-loading) and reduced drag/mechanical losses.

This new unit should be fitted together with the uprated mainshaft kit, as the standard Warn 8274 mainshaft is more likely to fail with the increased power and torque.

Using the excellent 6HP Warn XP motors for 12v applications, or the rugged Bowmotor for 24v applications, this system gives you the power, strength and reliability you need.

This system has been devoloped to maximise the Warn 8274 potential.

   To compliment the twinmotor housings four different ratios are available:
Standard (Same as standard 8274 winch)
+13% (13% faster than standard)
+25%
+40%
All new housings are supplied with a choice of these ratios, or ratio kits are available seperately and are an easy fit into any Gigglepin Twinmotor top housing allowing the user the flexibility to pick and choose there gearing dependant on the terrian or event.

In short the Advantages of the Twn Motor Top Housing are: -

*Twice the power, twice the speed.

*Decreased motor effort, saving motors and batteries.

*Superior design and material grades
eliminating breakage.

*Sustained line rate on hard pulls.

*Higher maximum load capacity.
