Dependable Pulling Power for Trail Recovery

The 2500 lb. capacity and aircraft-grade wire rope provide the dependable pulling power needed to free a stuck ATV or UTV, preventing trailside delays and getting you back to the ride without the need for a separate, heavier winch.

Operate from a Safe Distance with Wireless Control

The included wireless remote allows you to operate the winch from a safe distance of up to 20 feet, giving you better visibility and control during recovery without having to be dangerously close to the load or the vehicle’s path.

ATV-Friendly Motor with Efficient Power Draw

The permanent magnet motor draws less current from your ATV’s electrical system, which is crucial for vehicles with limited power capacity. This efficient design ensures the winch performs without overtaxing your battery during demanding pulls.

Ideal for These Recovery & Utility Tasks

This winch is designed for ATV and UTV owners who need a reliable recovery solution and a versatile tool for property maintenance or outdoor projects.

Self-Recovery from Mud, Snow, or Ditches

When your ATV gets stuck in deep mud, snow, or a ditch, this winch provides the pulling power to free it. The 2500 lb. capacity is sufficient for self-recovery or assisting a similar-sized vehicle on the trail.

Loading ATVs onto Trailers Safely

Use the winch to assist in pulling an ATV or small UTV up onto a trailer. The controlled pull makes the loading process safer and more manageable, especially on uneven ground or without a spotter.

Property Maintenance and Land Clearing

Beyond vehicle recovery, the winch is a handy tool for property work. Use it to pull stubborn stumps, drag large logs into position, or move heavy landscaping materials around your property.

Repositioning Obstacles on the Trail

In off-road situations, it can help reposition obstacles like fallen branches or move heavy gear. The wireless remote allows for precise placement while you guide the load from a safe vantage point.

Assisting with Seasonal Chores

For seasonal tasks like clearing snow from a driveway with a plow or dragging a heavy spreader, the winch provides controlled pulling assistance to make the job easier.

Supporting Remote Worksite Activities

If you operate from a remote cabin or work site without easy access to heavy equipment, this portable winch becomes an essential tool for moving supplies, firewood, or equipment over rough ground.

What Users Are Saying

TrailReadyATV

I installed this on my ATV in about an hour. The packaging was perfect, no damage at all. It works exactly as described and is very effective for recovery. I tested it by pulling out a couple of small trees and it handled them without any problem. Very happy with this purchase.

OffRoadRecovery

The wireless remote is a game-changer. Being able to stand back and see what I’m doing while operating the winch is much safer. The winch itself has plenty of power for my quad and the motor doesn’t seem to strain the battery at all, even on longer pulls.

MountainMudder

This little winch punches above its weight. I’ve used it multiple times to get myself and friends unstuck from some pretty gnarly mud. The wire rope is holding up well and the roller fairlead works smoothly. For the price, it’s a fantastic piece of kit.

WorkshopWhiz

Beyond just pulling my ATV out of trouble, I’ve used this for moving heavy logs and even helping load a heavy appliance onto my trailer. The 2500 lb. rating is more than enough for my daily tasks. Easy to install and has been reliable every time I’ve needed it.
