Built for Australian 4WD recovery

02

Adjustable support arms

Folding side arms help stabilise the assembly against the vehicle and fold down neatly when the mount is stored.

03

Fairlead-ready layout

Integrated fairlead slots and multiple mounting holes suit common winch and fairlead patterns.

04

Protected steel construction

A 6 mm steel plate with a black powder-coated finish helps resist knocks, weather and corrosion.

  • Easy to storeFold the arms and remove the assembly after use.
  • Less exposureKeep the winch out of the weather when it is not needed.

Mount. Pin. Prepare.

1

Fit the winch

Bolt your compatible winch and fairlead to the plate with correctly rated hardware and follow the winch manufacturer's instructions.

2

Insert the receiver

Slide the shank into a compatible rated 2-inch receiver and secure it with the hitch pin and retaining clip.

3

Set and test

Position the support arms, check every clearance and complete a no-load function test before recovery use.

Compatibility and safety

Your recovery system is only as strong as its lowest-rated part.

The plate does not increase the rating of your receiver, recovery points, winch, rope or vehicle. Confirm every component is appropriate for the intended load and recovery direction.

Frequently asked questions

Know before you go.

Useful answers for Australian 4WD owners planning a portable winch setup.

Will this fit my 4WD?

It requires a compatible 50 mm (2-inch) receiver with suitable load and recovery ratings. Check receiver depth, pin position, bumper shape and vehicle clearance before purchase.

Which winches can I mount?

The plate is designed around common 8,000-15,000 lb winches. Bolt patterns vary, so compare your winch and fairlead measurements with the dimension image before ordering.

Can it be used at the front and rear?

Yes, where the vehicle has a compatible rated receiver and sufficient clearance. Always follow the receiver and vehicle manufacturer's limits.

Is the winch included?

No. This listing is for the mounting plate and pictured installation hardware only. The winch, fairlead, wiring and vehicle are not included.

Can I leave it installed permanently?

The main benefit is removability. Take the assembly off when it is not needed, keep it dry and inspect the plate, pin, fasteners and coating before each use.
