How do I know what winch I need for my ATV or UTV?
When you’re in the market for an ATV winch or UTV winch, consider a winch that can support your machine’s weight, how much it will be able to pull, your riding style, and the terrain you’ll be driving on. You will also need to choose which type of rope you need: wire rope or synthetic rope. Wire ropes are durable, and synthetic ropes weigh less and are easier to work with.
Will any winch fit an ATV?
All ATV & UTV winches have a size rating on them. A heavy winch can change the way your vehicle handles, so always consider the size of your machine when purchasing a winch. It’s also important to remember that you’ll have to mount the winch on your ATV or UTV, so choose a winch that will fit the front or back of the vehicle.
Are ATV and UTV winches different from truck and trailer winches?
ATV & UTV winches come with a wiring kit and other components that are specifically tailored to be installed on an ATV or UTV. Truck winches also come with a much higher rated line pull than ATV & UTV winches.
