Winches

Take the load off your mind when it comes to winches.

A vehicle winch is a mechanical device with a rope, chain, or wire cable wound around a rotating spool called a winch drum. If you may need a winch for hauling, lifting or pulling your vehicle out of a sticky situation, get to know what to look for among all the options out there.

Which winch type suits you best? Let's lift the lid on the options.

There are four main types of vehicle winch, have a read and see which suits you best.

1. Power Take Off Winch

The Power Take Off (PTO) winch was the first power winch to be manufactured. The PTO winch connects straight to the transfer case via a drive shaft which operates the winch gearbox. The PTO winch is powered by your vehicle's engine, so it needs the engine running in order to work. The engine's power ensures it's an incredibly powerful winch.

  • Full power always on demand
  • Multiple speeds through the gearbox

The cons:

2. Hydraulic Winch

The hydraulic winch gets its power from your vehicle's power steering, powered by hydraulic pressure.

  • If steering moves while running, winch stops

3. Electric Winch

The 12v electric powered winch is the most widely used 4WD winch, powered by electric from the battery first and then from the alternator. This winch doesn't need the engine to work but it's best to bring a spare battery for long trip, just in case.

  • Doesn't need engine or battery power
  • Can pull forward, back, left or right

The cons:

  • It takes time to achieve result
  • It takes energy  effort from the operator
