Product Information
Full details
This VidaXL electric winch is designed for vehicle recovery, offering a 1360 KG (2998 lbs) line pull capacity. Its key benefit is the free-spool clutch, allowing manual rope extension without power. A potential caveat is its intermittent duty rating, meaning it's best suited for occasional use rather than continuous operation. Features include a permanent magnet motor, roller fairlead, wireless remote, and mounting hardware, making it a practical addition for off-road enthusiasts or those needing assistance with lifting or pulling moderate loads.

FAQs
What is 'intermittent duty' for this winch?
Intermittent duty means the winch is designed for short periods of operation followed by cool-down periods. It is not intended for continuous or prolonged use, which could lead to overheating and damage.
Can I use this winch for lifting heavy objects vertically?
While it has a 1360 KG pull rating, it's primarily designed for vehicle recovery and pulling on a relatively level plane. Vertical lifting requires specific safety considerations and may exceed the winch's design limitations. Always consult safety guidelines for lifting operations.
How do I engage or disengage the free spool clutch?
To disengage the clutch for manual rope payout, pull the knob outwards and turn it. To engage the clutch for electric winding, push the knob inwards and turn it.
What type of power source is required?
This winch requires a 12V DC power source, typically from a vehicle battery. Ensure the source can provide the necessary amperage (up to 145 Amp).
Is the mounting plate universal?
The included mounting plate is designed for use with this specific winch model. Compatibility with vehicle bumpers or frames will depend on the mounting hole pattern and available space.
How long is the wire rope?
The wire rope is 9 meters (approximately 29.5 feet) long.
Does it come with all necessary wiring?
Yes, delivery includes the power cable and a wire remote control, along with mounting accessories.
Troubleshooting
Winch not powering on
Check the 12V power supply connection and ensure correct polarity. Verify battery charge. Inspect power cables for damage.
Wire rope won't extend (free spool)
Ensure the pull and turn knob for the free spool clutch is fully disengaged (pulled out and turned). Check for obstructions in the gearbox.
Slow or weak pulling performance
Verify the 12V power supply is stable and sufficient. Check the wire rope for tangles or excessive tension plate drag. Inspect motor brushes for wear.
Remote control not working
Replace the 12V 23A alkaline battery in the wireless remote. Ensure the remote is within range and not obstructed. Check the receiver connection.
Overheating during use
The winch is rated for intermittent duty. Allow adequate cool-down periods between pulls. Avoid exceeding the maximum rated line pull.
