Mile Marker winches
« on: Dec 17, 2007, 08:28:06 AM »
I just got this reply from Mile Marker this morning about where they are made, thought some might be interested.

richard,
 
All of our hydraulic winches are made in our Pompano Beach, Florida facility
and are US made.  The electric winches are produced in our Mile Marker
facility in China.  The MX9 is made in China.

Mark bought a Mile Marker hydrolic winch when they first started making them. He drove to Pompano Beach to get it.
It's been great.

If they had a really good sale on one I'd buy it, but probably wouldn't buy one at full price.

Seems like you can snag a warn cheap enough off craigslist if you're patient enough.
