Description

Lightweight High-Performance Winch with Soft Shackle

The Carbon 12K V3X is a lightweight, high-performance 12000lb electric winch designed to handle tough off-road conditions.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: NO HOOK INCLUDED

This listing is for the winch and a 15T Soft Shackle. No hook is included in this package. The winch comes with the winch accessory kit – perfect if you already have a hook or if you'd like to get rid of the heavy items in your kit.

Overview

Engineered in Australia and refined through real-world use. With a powerful 6HP motor, IP68 waterproof rating, and a durable three-stage 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 (excluding hook) 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 across Australian environments. 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 deliver the best value, reliability, and service life for a winch user.

Features

  • Unmatched Pulling Power: Features a massive 12000lb single-line pull driven by a 12V DC 6HP series wound motor.
  • 15T Soft Shackle Included: Replaces heavy steel components for a safer, lighter recovery setup.
  • IP68 Ingress Protection: Rated to withstand dust, dirt, and submersion under freshwater for 30 minutes up to 1.5m depth (not during operation).
  • Durable Geartrain: Equipped with a 3-stage planetary geartrain and a 218:1 gear ratio for reliable performance.
  • Complete Accessory Kit: Includes an ultra sexy CNC'd anodised alloy signature Carbon fairlead, an isolator switch with extra cabling, and dual remotes.
  • Upgrade Compatible: Fully compatible with the Carbon Offroad Air Freespool Clutch Upgrade, specifically designed for use with Carbon Offroad 12K and Scout Pro winches.
