Our verdict

Suited to ATV riders who self-recover on trails or load a boat, with a wireless remote for solo work. The listing omits voltage and mounting parts, so plan the install separately.

Overview

ATV riders who head out alone get an electric winch they can run from a distance with the wireless remote, or close up with the wired one. Aircraft grade steel rope feeds through a roller fairlead, and a planetary gear set drives the line.

Two remotes make solo recoveries simple, and the low current motor suits a small ATV electrical system. Steel rope and the modest rating limit it to quad and small utility work, while voltage and mounting plate are left out of the listing.

Who it's for

Quad owners who ride remote trails or launch small boats get a compact pulling tool with free spooling and an automatic brake. Owners of heavier vehicles need a larger rating.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wireless remote for working away from the winch
  • Wired remote as a backup
  • Roller fairlead with nylon bushing
  • Automatic load-holding brake
Cons
  • Voltage and mounting hardware not listed
  • Wireless range only 20 ft
  • Rating suits ATVs, not trucks

Performance notes

Pulling force comes from the planetary gear set multiplying motor torque, and a single stage favors line speed. The permanent magnet motor draws less current, which spares a small ATV battery during long pulls. The load-holding brake engages on its own when the motor stops.
