From rock crawling, mud pits, plowing snow, or hard at work, a winch can be an invaluable tool for your off-road vehicle. Most winches can pull big loads, but once you have several feet of cable extracted, things can get real slow as you wait to spool it back up. That is until now. The new Rapid Rope Recovery winch from Polaris makes quick work of rope recovery and gets you back on the trail or back to work with blazing speed. A Polaris exclusive and first-of-its-kind technology for powersports, this new PRO HD Winch will undoubtedly become a must have accessory for Polaris riders, and extremely coveted by the competition. Here’s the official word from Polaris on this all-new winch:
Polaris® Industries Inc.

What the winch will be used on
When choosing an electric winch, the formula often used is that the weight of the vehicle multiplied by 2 equals the pulling force of the winch. But there are exceptions, this rule applies to use in difficult conditions on SUVs, for light crossovers, or vice versa on massive pickups, such a large supply of tractive effort will be redundant, plus there is always the possibility of using chain hoist reinforcement blocks that increase traction. For ATVs, one should not forget about the weight of the driver and very difficult operating conditions, here the value of tractive effort can be exceeded by more than 2 times. Below are examples on popular vehicles.
Car winches for Jeep Wrangler and other medium-weight SUVs
-12,000 lbs), depending on how heavily the vehicle is retrofitted with power bumpers and sills, protection, lights on the expedition trunk, big wheels and everything else that adds weight to the prepared SUV.
Available winches include T-MAX MuscleLift, Runva Magnum, RockWinch Rs9500, from the middle price segment COMEUP DV-12 light, from the premium ones, Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S will become a real decoration of your car.
Car winches for light pickups Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L-200, etc.
Light pickups like the Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L-200 use 4-5.5 tonne (9000-12500 lb) towing capacity vehicle winches, depending on how you use your pickup and what it is intended for. . A 4 tonne winch will suffice for a standard empty body, but a seriously prepared camper for off-road adventures will need a large stock of a 5.5 ton winch. Of the available winches, you should pay attention to T-MAX, 4Revo, RockWinch. Middle price category ComeUp. And winches with maximum reliability from the USA from Warn.
Electric winches for Lada Niva and Suzuki Jimny
Niva and Dzhimnik are considered light jeeps, which gives them great opportunities to overcome off-road. If the car is more often used on asphalt, and moves out only to overcome difficult off-road routes, then a reliable Warn Axon 50 car winch with a pulling force of 2.
2 tons or a T-Max EW-6500 for 3 tons will suffice. But if the vehicle is being used in more extreme situations, such as touring or recreational racing, electric winches with 3.6 tons (8000 lbs) of pulling power, such as the Comeup GIO 80S or WARN VR EVO 8-S, are worth considering. Recommended for use with synthetic rope, light car - light winch.
Electric winches for large pickup trucks Toyota Tundra, Dodge Ram etc.
Large off-road vehicles and pickup trucks, which can be up to 6 meters long and weigh about 3 tons without load, owners of such monsters are recommended to consider car electric winches with a pulling force of 5.6 tons (12,500 pounds) to 7.5 tons (16,500 pounds), again, depending on the specific vehicle and how far you are willing to go into the forest, it will not be superfluous to lay down the power reserve of your future winch. Many electric winches with such significant tractive effort may be positioned by manufacturers as a tow truck (industrial) winch, but this does not mean that it will not work for your large pickup truck.
Depending on the chosen budget, it is worth considering buying such models as: T-Max HEW-12500, RockWinch Rh25000, ComeUp Seal Gen2 16.5, Warn M15000, Warn 16.5Ti 12V
Electric winch for Renault Duster and other crossovers.
Due to the peculiarities of the use and layout of the front of the car, it is not always cost-effective to permanently install an electric winch in crossovers; with a force of 1.1 tons (2500 pounds), with such winches in difficult situations, you can use the chain hoist reinforcement block to double the traction force. For example, car winches: Avtospas LPE14P, T-Max ATW PRO 2500. Or heavier, but with a margin of power, winches with a pulling force of up to 2.7 tons (6000 pounds), for example: Superwinch Winch3Go, COMEUP DV-6s Carry On.
Winches for expedition off-road vehicle such as Land Cruiser 100\200.
For off-road vehicles prepared for expeditions, the most important factor is the reliability of an electric car winch and its power reserve for a car loaded with shmurdyak, so as not to be left without movement somewhere far from civilization.
For such purposes, advanced winches from the middle price category and above are well suited, with a pulling force of about 5.5 tons (12,000 pounds), the following stationary electric winches can be distinguished: T-Max HEW-12500, RUNVA 12500 waterproof, COMEUP Seal Gen2 12.5, Warn Vr Evo 12, Warn Zeon 12.
Competition Winches
If you are racing, every second is at stake, to be first you will need the fastest and most trouble-free winch with light weight and strong synthetic cable, and since your machine is light for competitions, then a large traction effort may not be that important. We can highlight winches such as the COMEUP Seal MadX 8.0 and the choice of professionals around the world in the face of the vertical Warn M8274.
Winches for ATVs and buggies UTV
When choosing a winch for an ATV or buggy, you need to consider the weight of the vehicle, taking into account the driver and luggage, as well as the operating conditions, how deep you plan to dive into the mud.
Often the manufacturer himself provides information on the recommended type of winch, do not forget about the size of the winch, for example, Warn Axon is not suitable for every all-terrain vehicle due to its increased dimensions. Lightweight RWD and 400cc 4WD ATVs are often fitted with a 2000 to 2500 lb winch, such as the T-Max ATW-PRO 2500, ComeUP Cub 2S, Superwinch Terra 25 SR, WARN UTV VRX 25-S. Larger 4x4 ATVs with an engine capacity of more than 500 cubic meters are equipped with electric winches with a pulling force of 3000-3500 pounds, such as Avtospas LPE15M-S, Runva 3500A, Superwinch LT3000, WARN VRX 35-S. For buggies like the Polaris RZR, a 3500-4500 lb towing winch like the Superwinch Terra 35 SR or WARN AXON ATV 45-S will do. Synthetic rope is more comfortable and safer to work with.
How to install a winch on an SUV and ATV
The easiest way to install a winch on an SUV is a special place on the iron power bumper, but if you do not want to overload your car with additional iron and have problems with inspectors on the road, then the winch can be installed discreetly in a regular bumper, for this, in our online store, platforms for hidden installation of a winch are available for sale.
If the use of a winch takes place only a couple of times a year, you are not in a hurry, and the car is not up to the roof in the mud, then a portable electric winch would be a good choice, the main thing is not to forget to put it in the trunk, also small portable winches can be used on snowmobiles and quad bikes. Fixed installation of the winch on an ATV is carried out using a universal or specialized mounting platform for your ATV model, depending on availability and availability.
Winches maintainability
When choosing an electric winch, you also need to take into account the fact that sooner or later it can fail, so you should choose popular brands that have spare parts and repair kits, in our off-road accessories online store you can purchase: solenoid blocks, brakes, gears, electric motors and other spare parts for winches. To prolong the life of the winch, it is required to carry out maintenance with disassembly, cleaning and lubrication of components, preferably at least once every 12 months.
In our "4x4 Club" we will help you with winch selection, purchase, installation and subsequent maintenance. For advice, please contact our specialists 8(916)922-44-44
A winch is a necessary thing when traveling off-road. It allows you to pull a stuck ATV out of mud, water or deep ruts. Many models of CFMOTO ATVs and ATVs have a winch from the factory, for others it needs to be purchased separately. In this article, we will tell you how the winch works, what to look for when choosing, and also give useful tips on how to use it.
The ATV winch is a drum with a cable. An electric motor is located on one side of the drum, and a gearbox on the other. Rotation from the electric motor to the gearbox transmits a shaft that passes inside the drum. The gears of the planetary mechanism are located in the gearbox.
Reducer reduces speed and increases traction. The rotation from the gearbox is transmitted to the drum, which winds the cable, creating traction and gradually pulling out the stuck equipment.
One of the key parameters to consider when choosing a winch is traction. It determines the maximum weight of the load that can be torn off the surface. With each skein of the drum, the winch force decreases.
Thrust is measured in pounds (labeled on winches as lbs), 1 lb = 0.45 kg. The force depends on a number of features: the diameter of the drum, the number of wound turns, the power of the electric motor, as well as the gear ratio of the gearbox.
It is not always necessary to choose the most powerful and fastest winch: the more powerful the mechanism, the more difficult it is to handle. Beginners can harm equipment and even their health - it is not uncommon for a broken cable or a broken hook to cause injury.
Suitable for ATV cubic capacity:
Steel - cheap and easy. Requires work with gloves, not repairable. May cause injury if mishandled.
Synthetic - requires maintenance but is easy to use. It does not "shoot", and if the cable is damaged or torn, it can be braided on the spot.
Most experts believe that material selection should be based on personal preference, with some riders leaning towards steel over time, others towards synthetics.
The winch is installed on a special platform on the ATV frame. If there is no platform, you need to buy it and install it according to the instructions. The site has standard anchor points that fit classic winches up to 3,500 feet of pull.
When choosing a winch, pay attention to the width of the drum:
With certain skills, you can modify the fasteners and install almost any winch - the main thing is not to make the fasteners "break" and not to strengthen weak points. If the ATV is under warranty, it is advisable not to touch the frame and buy a regular winch.
Installing the winch is easy, but the connection will have to be tricky. To lay the wiring, it is advisable to remove the plastic from the ATV. The winch must be connected to the control unit and battery. It is recommended to keep the power cable as short as possible to avoid current loss. All wires must be hidden in the corrugation so that they do not come into contact with the frame and are protected from moisture.
