VRS 12500lb 4x4 Winch With Synthetic Rope | V12500S | Full IP68

When you’re out there in the thick of it, you need some serious machinery on your side. With an impressive 5670kg of pulling power and fast line speed under load, the VRS 12500lb winch is the one vehicle recovery winch no driver, from the novice to the serious off-roader, should be without. Even in the most extreme conditions, this tough nut has the muscle to haul your vehicle back on track; fast. Get serious with your safety and get yourself a VRS winch.
Designed in Australia to suit our tough conditions and environment, the VRS Winch comes with a fully sealed contactor pack, 5.3hp motor, sealed and insulated drum and a 3 stage planetary gear system.
This winch has a synthetic rope and is rated up to 12500lbs of load.
The drum of the winch experiences small horizontal movements while under load. This side to side movement has presented a challenge to keeping water out of the gearbox and motor housing up until now. The VRS IP68 waterproof winch has a new double lipped seal design that keeps the water and silt out of the gearbox during this sideway movement.
This winch is fully IP68 Rated, meaning it's dust, dirt and waterproof.
Warrants the original purchaser that the mechanical components will be free of defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the winch and the electrical components will be free of defects in material and workmanship from a period of 2 years from the original date of purchase.
