What is the gear ratio and line speed?
How do I maintain the winch for long-term performance?
The 13500 lb electric winch is a high-capacity vehicle recovery tool designed to pull or recover 4WDs, trucks, and other heavy vehicles weighing up to 13,500 pounds (≈ 6,123 kg) under ideal conditions. Equipped with a powerful motor, a durable gear system, and either a synthetic rope or steel cable, it delivers reliable performance in off-road, towing, and rescue situations.
Yes. The 13,500 lb electric winch is waterproof and dustproof, with an IP68 rating:
6 = Fully dust-tight, no dust can enter the winch housing.
8 = Protected against continuous immersion in water beyond 1 metre depth (exact depth and time may vary by manufacturer specification).
This means the winch can operate reliably in heavy rain, mud, river crossings, and other wet or dusty off-road environments.
1.Read the manual – Understand your winch’s specifications and limits before use.
2.Wear protective gear – Always use gloves when handling the rope or cable.
3.Check the rope/cable – Inspect for frays, kinks, or damage before each use.
4.Use a winch dampener – Place a winch blanket or dampener over the line to reduce recoil risk if it snaps.
5.Stand clear – Keep yourself and bystanders well away from the rope’s path during operation.
6.Anchor securely – Ensure the winch is mounted properly and the anchor point is solid.
7.Operate slowly and steadily – Avoid jerking or overloading the winch.
8.Monitor battery voltage – Prolonged winching can drain your vehicle battery quickly.
9.Avoid water immersion during use – Even with an IP68 rating, avoid operating the winch while fully submerged.
The gear ratio is the relationship between how fast the winch motor turns and how fast the drum turns.
For example, a 218:1 gear ratio means the motor rotates 218 times for every single turn of the drum.
A higher gear ratio turns the drum slower but delivers more pulling power, ideal for heavy loads and controlled operation.
A lower gear ratio spins the drum faster for quicker rope retrieval, but with less pulling torque.
Line speed is how quickly the winch can spool the rope back onto the drum, usually measured in metres per minute (m/min) or feet per minute (ft/min).
It depends on:
The load weight (heavier loads slow it down)
The motor’s power and voltage
The gear ratio
To keep your 13,500 lb electric winch in top condition:
Clean after each use – Remove mud, dirt, and saltwater residue from the drum, rope/cable, and housing.
Inspect the rope or cable – Check for frays, kinks, or damage and replace if necessary.
Lubricate moving parts – Lightly grease the gear housing and pivot points as recommended in the manual.
Check electrical connections – Ensure terminals are clean, tight, and free from corrosion.
Run the winch periodically – Even if not in use, spool the winch in and out every few months to keep the motor and gears moving freely.
Store properly – Keep the winch covered when not in use to protect it from weather exposure.
Following these steps will help maintain reliable pulling power and extend the winch’s lifespan.
