Trust Its Weather-Resistant Build

The receiver’s IP67 rating ensures dependable performance in rain, mud, or dust. It’s built to withstand the harsh conditions common in off-road recovery and job sites.

For Safer, More Flexible Winch Operations

This remote is for anyone who operates a BADLAND winch and wants the freedom and safety of cordless control. It’s ideal for off-road recovery, vehicle recovery in tight spaces, and workshop or garage applications.

Off-Road Vehicle Recovery

Use it during vehicle recovery on the trail. The wireless range lets you stay clear of the vehicle and recovery line while operating the winch, improving safety and situational awareness.

Workshop and Garage Tasks

Perfect for workshop or garage use where you need to winch a vehicle onto a lift, into a bay, or onto a trailer without being tethered to the winch by a cable.

General Remote Winching

Useful for any scenario requiring precise winch control from a distance, such as positioning a load, clearing debris, or assisting with a difficult recovery where cable management is a concern.

Replacing a Lost or Damaged Remote

An excellent replacement if your original wired remote is lost, damaged, or has become unreliable due to weather exposure. The wireless receiver simply plugs into the existing port.

Controlling Hard-to-Reach Winches

For users with winches mounted in hard-to-reach locations, like inside a truck bed or on a custom bumper, the wireless remote provides easy control without needing physical access to the winch itself.

Adding Convenience to Any Setup

Adds a layer of convenience for any winch owner. Store the compact remote in your vehicle and know you have reliable, long-range control ready whenever a recovery situation arises.
