Fits Where Big Winches Can't
You do not have much room on the front of a side-by-side or the deck of a car trailer. You need enough power to drag a broken car or a rolled buggy, but a full-size winch simply will not fit.
That is what the 4.5K is built for.
It gives you 2040kg of pull from a compact 1.9 HP motor. We include an integrated mounting plate in the box, so you can bolt it straight to your UTV or trailer pedestal without paying for custom fabrication.
It is a straightforward, reliable setup for loading vans, retrieving buggies, and hauling dead weights onto trailers.
Backed By Real Wheelers
When you need support, you are not talking to a call centre reading from a script. You are talking to local off-road experts who actually use this gear. We know what works because we run it on our own rigs.
13m Synthetic Rope Setup
Spooled with 13 metres of lightweight 6.35mm synthetic rope. It routes cleanly through our premium CNC billet alloy black anodised fairlead to reduce friction under heavy load.
Compact & Ready To Mount
Designed for tight spaces with a standard 76mm x 167mm bolt pattern. We include the integrated mounting plate in the kit so it drops straight onto a trailer pedestal or ATV mount with zero fuss.
Supported By 150+ Dealers
We are stocked by over 150 authorized dealers across Australia. When you run Carbon gear, you have local support, fast access to spare parts, and a massive network backing you up wherever you go.
