Overview

Engineered in Australia and refined through real-world use. With a powerful 6HP motorIP68 waterproof rating, and a durable triple planetary gearbox, it’s built for consistent pulling power through mud, sand, and steep terrain. River crossings and mud runs are stress free; this winch features a breathable membrane-style motor breather for heat expansion and contraction.

The Carbon Winch gets your recovery done with ease by using the wireless or wired remote from the safety and convenience of your driver's seat.

The Carbon 12K is a proven performer with countless recoveries from the mud bogs of Tassie to the river crossings of the Cape. For peace of mind, it is backed here in Australia by a class-leading 5-year water ingress and electrical warranty, and a lifetime geartrain warranty. It is designed to meet the rugged demands of off-road and utility use in Australian conditions, delivering reliable performance and service life.
