Anyone have any experience with these? They are all over Ebay for $395 for a 12000 lb unit! Claiming to be popular in Austrailia? But I could not find any inf with a few searches?

Anyone?

While they claim to be popular in Australia, where are they MADE????

There are a lot of claims of quality on products that are made in China an questionable as to dependability and quality.

You get what you pay for. Woul dyou trust your life to a cheap knock-off????

Leaning toward TMax myself but thought it worth asking if anyone had heard of them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

I have seen the T-Max products.

They appear to be a good product. I know of some of their models being used to assist loading and unloading of ATVs from trailers.

I don't know of any long term dependability issues nor of the performance of their heavier duty models.

I've heard good things about T-Max. I'm leaning towards them myself.

Need a Spot
I have had one on my Jeep for almost a year and have used it on at least 10 occassions and I love it.
What a good deal!! It really is as good as a Warn and Ramsey, just like the eBay listing said.
I see they're now being offered at $355, what a steel.
