Product Information

Full details

The Winchmax 13,500lb (6,123kg) 12V electric winch is an industrial-grade recovery solution designed for professional recovery truck operators and trailer owners managing loads up to 3.5 tonnes. It provides robust, consistent pulling power through a high-performance 6.8hp series wound motor and hardened steel gearing, though its heavy-duty construction makes the total unit weight significant for lighter vehicle chassis.

FAQs

What size battery do I need?

A minimum of 650CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) is recommended, though higher capacity deep-cycle batteries are preferred for heavy use.

Can I replace the steel rope with synthetic rope?

Yes, but you must replace the roller fairlead with a hawse fairlead to prevent damage to the synthetic material.

How often should I grease the gears?

Under normal use, a full strip-down and re-grease of the planetary gears should be performed once every 12 months.

Is the winch waterproof?

The unit is weather-resistant, but it is not designed to be fully submerged underwater for extended periods.

What is the maximum line speed?

Line speed varies depending on the weight of the load, but the motor is geared for high-torque pulling at a controlled pace.

Troubleshooting

Winch motor runs but spool does not turn

Check that the clutch lever is fully engaged in the 'Locked' position.

Remote control is unresponsive

Check the battery in the wireless handset and ensure the remote control box is properly wired to the winch.

Winch stalls under load

Check battery voltage under load, ensure all cable connections are tight, and verify that the vehicle engine is running to provide maximum amperage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High pulling capacity of 13,500lb
  • Powerful 6.8hp series wound motor
  • Durable hardened steel three-stage gearbox
  • Includes robust G70 grade clevis hook
  • Long-range wireless remote control system

Cons

  • Requires significant battery power draw
  • Heavy unit weight adds to front-end vehicle load
  • Requires periodic lubrication of the steel wire rope
  • Installation requires professional electrical knowledge

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation begins with a secure mounting surface capable of handling the winch's torque. Always ensure the unit is grounded directly to the battery using high-quality welding cables. The winch is compatible with standard 12V vehicle systems; verify your alternator output is sufficient to handle the peak amperage. Care involves inspecting the steel cable for fraying or kinking after every use. Apply a light coat of lubricant to the wire rope to prevent corrosion, and keep the exterior casing clear of debris to maintain optimal motor heat dissipation. Never bypass the solenoid box wiring, as it acts as a critical safety circuit breaker.
