Recovery Made Reliable

Powerful Hauling for Your Heaviest Loads

Confident Load Handling

With a 2000 lb. line pull capacity, this winch provides the strength needed to confidently load ATVs, UTVs, lawn mowers, and watercraft onto your trailer. The durable, aircraft-grade steel rope and forged alloy steel hook ensure you can handle demanding recovery tasks without concern.

Built for Durability and Duty

The integrated thermal overload protection and all-steel single-stage planetary gear train work together to prevent damage during extended or heavy-use pulls. This design helps the winch manage strain, offering consistent performance when you need it most for your equipment recovery.

Safe, Convenient Control

Control the winch from a safe distance with the wired remote, which features an integrated relay switch. The generous lead lengths—6 ft. from remote to battery and 4 ft. to the winch—give you flexibility in positioning and operation during loading or recovery.

Perfect For These Tasks

This winch is ideal for individuals and professionals who regularly need to load non-powered or heavy equipment. From maintaining a fleet of groundskeeping machinery to preparing for off-road adventures, it provides the necessary pulling force for efficient trailer loading.

Lawn Care Equipment Transport

Load riding mowers, zero-turns, and side-by-sides onto a trailer for transport to job sites or for maintenance. The winch’s capacity and control make it straightforward to handle equipment that doesn’t roll easily onto the trailer bed.

Powersports Vehicle Loading

Pull ATVs, UTVs, and motorcycles onto trailers for trips to the trailhead, track, or repair shop. The steel rope and secure hook provide a reliable connection to safely winch your powersports vehicles into place.

Boat and Watercraft Retrieval

Retrieve watercraft, small boats, or PWCs from the water’s edge onto their trailers. The winch’s pull capacity assists in overcoming the initial resistance of moving the vessel from ground to trailer bunks or rollers.

Construction Tool Hauling

Move generators, compressors, and other heavy tools onto trailers for job site mobility. The winch offers a practical solution for transporting essential work equipment that is too cumbersome to lift manually.

Light-Duty Vehicle Recovery

Assist in the recovery of a stuck vehicle, snowmobile, or trailer in mud, snow, or soft ground. The 2000 lb. line pull can provide the necessary force to free equipment that has lost traction.

Restoration Project Transport

Secure and load vintage tractors, lawn tractors, or other restoration projects that may not be in running condition. The winch allows for controlled placement onto a trailer for transport to the workshop.

Step-by-Step Setup

Getting Your Winch Ready

Secure Mounting

Select a solid, flat mounting surface on your trailer tongue or frame that can support the pulling forces. Use the included hardware as a template to mark and drill holes. Secure the winch tightly using bolts rated for the load to ensure a stable foundation.

Connect to Power

Connect the power leads from the remote control relay switch directly to your 12V battery. Ensure the connections are tight and secure, following the polarity indicators. The 6-foot cable from remote to battery provides flexible routing options.

Deploy the Rope

Feed the steel rope from the winch drum through the trailer’s front guide or over the edge. Attach the durable forged alloy steel hook to your equipment’s anchor point. Use the wired remote to slowly apply tension and verify a secure connection before full pulling.
