RED WINCH COBRA3

The third generation high mount single motor winch. The COBRA3 is packed full of new features and offers a range of options enabling you to specify the perfect solution for your recovery needs.

Capable of being used in the most demanding conditions worldwide. Its engineering is like no other winch on the market. The COBRA3 is an excellent choice when it comes to the best electric high mount winch for your on-road, expedition, weekend trip or full spec off-road vehicle. RED Winches has designed and developed this winch for serious use, competition and military, but it is just as happy on a road-going vehicle as it is on a fully equipped and prepared 4×4 truck.
All products at RED winches have been through an extensive design and testing program. With many of them having military testing behind them also. We do all this before going on sale so you can use all our winches with confidence, knowing they will not let you down.

This COBRA3 like all our engineered winches has the famous RED Winch air brake system, meaning the winch stops instantly when you take your finger off the winch button.

POWER & STRENGTH

All COBRA3 models are fitted with the mighty Ox motor and a DC182 series Albright solenoid. The solenoid is connected to the OX Motor by high efficient pure copper bus bars to efficiently transfer the power. To cover the top of the solenoid and bus bars a CNC machined Delrin cover is fitted.
To handle the power this winch can deliver in all its options, the winch body is fully CNC machined from high-grade heat-treated aluminum and from solid aluminum billets. No castings or injection mouldings are used. Protecting your investment in this winch from cracked housings or mountings.
We only use the best machine tools and machining processes on modern machines to ensure tolerances and stress in the parts is kept to a minimum and strength to its maximum.

GEARBOX & SPEEDS

The COBRA3 is available with 3 gearing options.
Overland – 4,500kg (10,000lbs)
Adventure – 6,000kg (13,000lbs)
Titan – 7,500kg (16,500lbs)

Average no load line speed over 30m (100ft)
Overland – 18.7 M/Min (61.4 ft/Min)
Adventure – 13.4 M/Min (44 ft/Min)
Titan – 10.5 M/Min (34.4ft/Min)

The gears are manufactured from chromium molybdenum steel and case hardened to give maximum strength (Up to 1230 N/mm2) and excellent durability. The gearbox runs in semi liquid grease not oil making it much easier to service. Please choose your gearing option from the menu.

RED WINCH AIR BRAKE SYSTEM

The COBRA3 is fitted with our latest generation air brake unit – ABU-MA-01B – internally this air brake unit is similar to the previous air brake unit, with many common parts but the housing has a shorter overall length to produce a more compact design.

Spring pressure applies a steel disc to the brake material when the winch is not in use. This applies the brake and stops the winch from spooling out, this is a fail-safe system.
If you have a loss of power or air, the winch will stop and hold the weight of your vehicle.
The air brake is controlled by an air solenoid fitted next to the motor control solenoid and is linked via a supplied wiring loom.

When you winch in or out you engage your motor solenoid, this same signal also energizes the air solenoid valve for the brake. This then allows air to go into a specially designed chamber that releases the brake instantly. When you remove your winching finger from the controls the air solenoid dumps the air and the springs apply the brake disc back onto the brake pads.

One nice feature we strongly recommend is when you are lowering out you can switch your power isolator off to the winch (no power to the motors) and just use the winch out button/rocker switch. This still will activate the air solenoid (using signal voltage) and releases the brake and your vehicle and only pulls out rope for the amount of drop your vehicle needs or moves. This means compared to normal winching you do not get overrun or excess rope causing hard snatching and jerking as the vehicle takes up the slack rope that has been spooled out. The air brakes also have a gradual on and off action to them. The brake can be adjusted for the weight of your vehicle or how you like your brake to operate, by adding or removing springs.
