Carbon Winch 12k 12000lb Electric 12v 4x4 Winch
Version 3 2023 Model - Now IP68 Waterproof
5 Year Australian Warranty
Lightest 4x4 Winch

Due to strong customer demand the Carbon Winch range has gone ALL BLACK. 

The all new feature packed Ver 3 12000lb Winch from Carbon Offroad delivers a 4WD winch package boasting many extras to make the installation and use of your winch that much easier.

The Carbon Winch features a newly upgraded rating of IP68, so your river crossings and mud runs are stress free, featuring a breathable membrane style motor breather for heat expansion and contraction. The Carbon Winch gets your recovery done with ease by using the wireless or wired remote (both included) from the safety and convenience of your driver's seat.

IP68 meaning - Ingress Protection
6 - Can withstand dust and dirt
8 - Can be submerged under freshwater for 30 minutes up to 1.5m depth, but not during operation.

You want the reliability of a winch that will perform when you need it to, time after time.

The Carbon Winch is a proven performer with year on year sales growth and countless recoveries from the mud bogs of Tassie to the river crossings of the Cape. For peace of mind it's backed here in Australia by a class leading 5 year water ingress & electrical warranty and a lifetime geartrain warranty. We also stock a warehouse of replacement parts here in Australia to get you back winching if the need arises.

If you're capable with a few basic tools, installing a Carbon Winch is easy, with step by step instructions and many extras included to get the job done. We also thought of your safety by including an isolator switch with extra cabling, so when you're not using your winch it's safely turned off and no live power wires are at the front of your vehicle.

Mounting the control box is easy with a multi fit system that can either be mounted on the winch, above the winch drum or motor. Or with the bracket can be mounted to the vehicle or on top of your bullbar. As you know, "looks" are a big part of any 4x4 build, so we have included in your winch kit an ultra sexy CNC'd anodised alloy signature Carbon fairlead paired with our own robust designed hook that makes you stand out from the crowd. Weight is a serious consideration with all 4wd accessories, the Carbon Winch  is super lightweight at only 19.0kg

Carbon Winches 12K Winch is a 12000lb line pull winch and can meet the rugged demands of off-road and utility use in Australian conditions. It is designed to deliver the best value, reliability and service life for a winch user.

    Warranty Form

    How to apply for a warranty:

    Contact the seller of your Carbon Winch to discuss the problem. If your seller deems that the issue with the winch cannot be addressed other than through a warranty claim, the seller is required to contact Carbon Winches Australia on behalf of the user. Carbon Winches Australia will attempt to identify if the issue can be resolved without seeing the components in question, or may ask for additional proof such as images or video. If it is deemed that the winch or components are required to be sent back to Carbon Winches Australia, the customer is to make arrangements to return them to our location at their expense. Once the winch has been returned along with a copy of proof of purchase, Carbon Winches Australia will assess the warranty claim and provide feedback on a successful or unsuccessful claim. The winch will be repaired and then arranged to be sent back to the customer. If the work is covered under warranty Carbon Winches Australia will bear the return shipping cost. If not, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

    Protecting your winch from water ingress:

    There are no conditions on maintaining your IP Warranty. However we would like you to understand the following information about your winch to get the best out of it in the long term.

    The rubber lip seals on the winch rope drum are a wear item, they are subject to exposure to the elements and abrasive materials such as mud, sand, salt, dirt and other environmental contaminants and will wear out with use of your winch.

    We recommend you replace the drum lip seals every 12 months or as often as you feel necessary dependant on the use of your winch. These are available for sale on the website.

    This will ensure that your winch maintains its high standard of waterproofing and provide you with years of hassle free operation. 

    We highly recommend you download and read the maintenance and first use guideline document before installing and operating your winch.

    The Carbon Story

    Carbon Winches are designed, engineered and tested by Australian Offroad Business - KPD Industries. A 4 year project began in 2012 to build a winch that would surpass all market options that were available at the time. After that, the Carbon Winch brand was launched in June 2016 and since then has developed a solid reputation for reliability, toughness and has been tested in some of the harshest environments in Australia and overseas including the USA, Iceland and the Middle East.

    But in addition, we didn't stop there - We made the winch even better.
    Many other products on the market simply didn't prove worthy in the Australian Outback including some very popular world renowned brands, so we built our own. A strong following in the Australian market developed with proven results across thousands of customers and 5 years on the market. A full redesign of the winch over a 6 month period between January and June 2021, results in the V2 CW-12K, a culmination of 5 years of using, supplying and receiving feedback from our customers and dealer network as we improved on many aspects of the original market proven winch design.
