Overview
Built for UTVs and side-by-sides, this 6,000 lb electric winch pairs synthetic rope with a wireless remote, IP67 waterproofing and a three-stage planetary gear drive at a 166:1 ratio.
Synthetic rope instead of steel cable cuts weight and removes the fraying and burr risk of wire rope, which matters on a UTV where every pound and every snagged glove counts. The listing gives exact mounting dimensions, a 6.6 inch fairlead pattern and a four-hole 3 by 6.625 inch bolt pattern, which is the detail that actually decides whether it bolts onto an existing bracket, more than the list of compatible vehicle models. Line speed drops sharply under load, from about 19.8 feet per minute unloaded to about 2.9 feet per minute at rated capacity, which is normal for a winch this size but worth expecting going in.
- 6,000 lb rated line pull
- 1/4 inch x 50 ft synthetic rope
- IP67 waterproof rating
- Wireless remote plus wired backup
Who it's for
UTV and side-by-side owners needing a mid-capacity winch for recovery and towing, especially those who check the fairlead and bolt pattern against their existing bracket first. It is not built for full-size truck recovery beyond 6,000 lbs, or for anyone who specifically wants steel cable over synthetic rope.

Performance notes
A three-stage planetary gear drive at a 166:1 ratio is built to multiply the 2.0kW/2.7HP motor's torque, moving the line at about 19.8 feet per minute with no load and dropping to about 2.9 feet per minute at full rated capacity, the usual tradeoff a winch makes between speed and pulling force. Dynamic brakes and weather-sealed solenoids and circuit breakers are meant to hold the load and protect the electronics in wet or dusty conditions, and the wireless remote covers roughly 50 feet with a wired remote kept as a backup.
