What is off road electric winch?
Winch is a machine with a vertically installed capstan, which can wind but not store ropes under power drive. It also refers to the winch whose rotation axis is perpendicular to the deck. It is a self-protection and traction device for vehicles and ships. It can carry out self rescue and rescue in bad environment such as snow, swamp, desert, beach, muddy mountain road, and can carry out obstacle removal, dragging goods, installation facilities and other operations under other conditions.

The sudden mud and quicksand may put you in danger at any time. At this time, extricating yourself from difficulties becomes your primary task.
As the ultimate rescue equipment of modern off-road vehicles, the winch is often called the "fifth driving force" in addition to the four-wheel drive.

There are four kinds of products we commonly see: mechanical winch, electric winch, hydraulic winch and wheel winch. These four types have advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of mechanical winch is that it can continuously provide large tension and long single use time, but the disadvantage is that the engine power must be used. If the engine has problems and the transfer case loses the driving force of winch, it cannot be used.
The electric winch can continuously provide large pulling force, with long single use time and no heating problem, so as to provide multi-directional pulling force before and after or even left and right; And it can be used normally when the vehicle is dead, which is incomparable with other winches; In addition, it has great advantages in areas with plenty of water. It is simple to install and can realize multi position installation and rapid displacement. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used for a long time because the power system of the vehicle itself is limited.
The hydraulic winch is easy to install, and the driving force is between the electric and mechanical winches. The chance of high temperature is extremely rare. However, like the mechanical winch, the driving force of the engine must be used. If the power steering system of the vehicle fails, it cannot be used.
The wheel winch is extremely simple to install and disassemble, light in weight and cheap in price. It can provide front and rear two-way tension. However, it cannot be used under some harsh conditions, and the power of the engine must be used.
When you understand the characteristics of each winch, it will be easier to choose the winch that suits you. In addition, if you want to know which winch is most suitable for your vehicle, you must also know the weight of your vehicle to better select the winch that is most suitable for your off-road vehicle.
