Overview
The Superwinch LT3000 (model 1130220) is a 12V DC winch rated for a 3,000 pound single line pull, built with a sealed permanent magnet motor and roller fairlead. It ships with 50 feet of 3/16 inch steel wire rope, a handlebar rocker switch and a handheld corded remote.
Superwinch positions this as a compact, quiet winch for ATV and light utility use rather than full-size truck recovery, and the low-amperage motor and circuit breaker protection back that up: it is built for smaller, more frequent pulls rather than occasional heavy loads. Having both a handlebar switch and a separate handheld remote means you can run it from the vehicle or step back and operate it from the winch itself.
- 3,000 lb rated line pull
- 3/16 in x 50 ft steel wire rope
- Handlebar rocker switch plus handheld remote
- Mechanical and dynamic brake
Who it's for
ATV and light utility vehicle owners who need a compact winch for towing, snowplow work or general recovery up to 3,000 pounds. Not sized for full-size truck or heavy trailer recovery loads.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 3,000 pound rated single line pull
- Both handlebar switch and handheld remote
- Mechanical and dynamic braking
- Circuit breaker protected motor
- Single line pull only
- Not rated for full-size truck recovery loads
Performance notes
The sealed, low-amperage permanent magnet motor runs through a circuit breaker rather than a heavier duty series motor, which keeps the unit compact and quiet at the cost of top-end pulling capacity. Both a mechanical brake and a dynamic brake are built in to hold the line under load, and control comes either from the handlebar-mounted rocker switch or the corded handheld remote.
