Choosing between Carbon winches

12K V3X pulling power with weight in mind

The Carbon 12K V3X combines a 12,000lb rating with a listed winch weight of 19.7kg. Allow 26.65kg for the complete installed setup when checking your front-axle and GVM limits.

The MegaPro Hook package includes synthetic rope, an alloy fairlead, MegaPro Hook, wired and wireless remotes, an isolator switch and mounting hardware. Check the exact package and your installation requirements before purchase.

RS9 line speed you can compare

The RS9 combines an 8HP motor with 80:1 gearing. Its published line speed is 24.2 metres per minute without load and 2.6 metres per minute at its 9,000lb rated pull. It is built for applications where recovery speed matters, with 42 metres of synthetic rope for longer reach.

Winch buying questions

What size winch do I need for my 4WD?

Our sizing guide uses 1.5 times your vehicle's GVM as a starting point. A 3,500kg GVM works out to approximately 11,575lb, pointing to a 12,000lb winch. Recovery conditions, rope layers and fitment still matter. Use our winch sizing guide for the calculation and checks.

Can I buy Carbon 4x4 winches at Supercheap Auto?

Selected Carbon winches and recovery products are rolling out through Supercheap Auto as part of our Super Retail Group partnership. Models, participating stores and stock vary. Check with Supercheap Auto for current availability.

Will a Carbon winch fit my Hilux, Ranger, Patrol or LandCruiser?

Fitment depends on your bull bar, mounting plate and available space as well as the vehicle. Check the maximum permitted winch rating, bolt pattern, complete dimensions, clutch access and control box position. A matching bolt pattern alone does not confirm compatibility.

Can I buy replacement parts and winch rope?

Yes. Browse our winch spare parts and replacement winch ropes, or ask the Carbon team to help identify the part for your model.
