Built-In Power Isolation for Safety
Every winch features a 500-amp power isolation switch.
Power isolation prevents accidental activation and protects the vehicle’s electrical system when the winch isn’t in use.
On daily-driven vehicles, especially those with multiple aftermarket electrical accessories, isolating high-draw equipment like a winch is a standard best practice for both safety and battery management.
Features
DUAL CONNECTION REMOTE
Stay in control from anywhere with the compact hand controller. It offers a 130ft wireless range or a 16ft lead for flexibility.
The 2.4GHz wireless connection eliminates interference or remote conflict, ensuring strong and reliable control.
Remote mounted control plug allows for low-profile or hidden winch mounting without losing the ability to hardwire the controller.
BUILT-IN MOTOR CONTROL UNIT
The synergistic design features a direct connection bespoke Albright contactor that creates greater motor efficiency and removes the need for a conventional control box.
Compact, prewired, and ready to install with 16 clutch handle positions for flexible mounting.
IP68 rated for water and dust protection.
TUNED 12V MOTOR
A purpose-built series wound motor drives the 4-stage gearbox to achieve fast line speeds with lower current draw.
The design minimizes heat buildup and ensures consistent pulling power.
ZERO DRAG BRAKING SYSTEM
The gearbox-mounted brake provides 100% load holding and allows powered unspooling under no load without any damage to the winch.
Locating the brake outside the drum reduces heat buildup and protects the synthetic line from damage.
STYLISH DESIGN
Discreet styling allows for an unobtrusive fit across a wide range of vehicles.
The synthetic rope option is lightweight, safer, and easier to handle.
Finished in a durable satin black powder coat for a refined appearance.
ROBUST CONSTRUCTION
The lightweight aluminum alloy housings are structurally reinforced and finished with a durable satin black powder coat.
Each unit is tested for strength, efficiency, and long-term reliability to perform in harsh conditions.
One-piece bridging plate for greater torsional strength.
4-STAGE GEARBOX
Hardened steel gearsets have been designed for maximum strength, load distribution, and durability.
The precise 4-stage configuration ensures smooth and controlled operation under heavy load, optimizing torque transfer while maintaining efficient line speed.
Combined with the one-piece bridging plate, the system delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and long-term reliability, even in extreme recovery conditions.
