Winch

Whenever you get stuck in your 4WD while on your outdoor adventure, a reliable winch can come in handy. The more camping and offroading you do, the more you will need a 4WD winch as you continue to travel through rough terrains on a more regular basis. There are also times when a winch is the only solution to come out of a sticky situation. Getting through ledges and massive climbs becomes a more convenient task with a winch at the ready. Having a lightweight winch can help you maintain a steady motion throughout your offroad journey. Since winches have a relatively long reach, making difficult recoveries easy and making it possible to move inoperable vehicles.

Electric winch vs winch ropes

Traditional winch ropes are a manual process where you use a ratcheting crank or a lever to pull a load. An electric winch, on the other hand, is powered by the vehicle. Each of these winches work better in different scenarios. For instance, this Warn winch wire rope is equipped with a 3-stage planetary gear train with a rated pull of 8,000lb (3630kg). Needer a stronger option? This Fieryred electric winch is built to be faster and stronger, capable of pulling 13,000lb in weight.

Choosing the right winch for the job

There are a few things to consider when choosing the right winch for the job.

  • Tensile strength: How strong are the cables?
  • Materials: What is the winch made of?
  • Type of winch rope: Is it a synthetic rope or steel cable?
  • Towing capacity: How much weight can the winch pull?
  • Type: Is it a manual, electric or wireless winch?

It’s also important to note what type of work you plan on putting the winch through, as this would impact all of the above factors. Winches are typically used for vehicle recovery, during camping, and reeling in boats, to name a few.
