Description
Lightweight High-Performance Winch
The Carbon 12K V3X is a lightweight, high-performance 12000lb (5450kg) electric winch designed to handle tough off-road conditions.
Overview
Engineered in Australia and refined through real-world use. With a powerful 6HP motor, IP68 waterproof rating, and a durable triple planetary gearbox, it’s built for consistent pulling power through mud, sand, and steep terrain. River crossings and mud runs are stress free; this winch features a breathable membrane-style motor breather for heat expansion and contraction.
Supplied as a complete kit with everything you need - wired and wireless remotes (both included), synthetic rope, CNC alloy fairlead, isolator switch, and all mounting hardware—it’s ready for installation straight out of the box. The Carbon Winch gets your recovery done with ease by using the wireless or wired remote from the safety and convenience of your driver's seat.
The Carbon 12K is a proven performer with countless recoveries from the mud bogs of Tassie to the river crossings of the Cape. For peace of mind, it is backed here in Australia by a class-leading 5-year water ingress and electrical warranty, and a lifetime geartrain warranty. It is designed to meet the rugged demands of off-road and utility use in Australian conditions, delivering reliable performance and service life.
