Short Product Summary

The Ironman 4x4 Frontier 12,000lb Winch pairs a synthetic rope with a 6HP motor, suited to vehicles weighing 2,700–3,650kg. It runs a wireless remote, a built-in breather and an IP68 rating for tough conditions.

Why This Product

Getting stuck with no way to pull yourself clear can turn a short trip into a long wait. This winch drives its synthetic rope with a 6HP motor and a wireless remote you can also plug in directly, so you're not left without a way to operate it. Its mechanical design draws on more than ten years of ongoing refinement, and an IP68 rating means it's built to keep working after a soaking.

Key Features

• 12,000lb rated line pull – suited to vehicles weighing 2,700–3,650kg
• Synthetic winch rope – light and strong
• IP68 submersible rating – keeps working after submersion to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes
• Wireless remote with plug-in option – operate it from outside the vehicle, or wire it in if you prefer
• Built-in breather – helps manage internal pressure and moisture over the years
• 6HP motor – drives a mechanical design refined over more than a decade
• 5-year mechanical warranty – covers the winch mechanism after purchase
