It’s as inevitable as death and taxes. If you go off-roading, you are eventually going to find yourself stuck. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving through mud, rocks or the dunes of a sandy beach. It happens to both experienced and new drivers alike. That’s why one of the first accessories you should consider purchasing for your 4X4 is a winch for recovery. The VRS 4X4 Winches are Australian-designed to help get you out of those challenging situations and back on track – fast!
Why do I need a winch?
Obviously, the main reason you’re going to buy a 4X4 winch is to help in vehicle recovery when you get stuck or have a rollover. Sure, a tow strap is going to come in handy in a lot of situations. But sometimes you’re going to need more than just a little yank from another vehicle to get unstuck. Not to mention the fact that you can cause more damage to your vehicle trying to tow it out of a jam. It could come free more easily than you expected and get dragged over rocks or stumps. Your wallet isn’t going to like that at all.
More control & more length
A winch allows you to slowly – and with more control – pull your 4X4 out, without the need for violent, throttle-fueled jerks. Also, the vehicle helping you out with a tow strap may not have the room to manoeuvre properly. Or it could get stuck while trying to get you out. It’s happened. And the typical tow strap is only about 10M. While the VRS 4X4 Winches offer rope lengths of up to 30M. That extra length will make a huge difference during challenging recoveries!
Up, up and over!
If you’re doing some pretty crazy off-roading with your 4X4, a winch is also going to help you get over or up tough obstacles. Have you given that steep hill a few tries and are about ready to give it up and go home? Sure, you could just keep punching the throttle and hope you won’t damage anything, but a winch is going to help you scale that obstacle with more confidence and less potential damage.
Designed specifically for off-roading in Australia
There are three models of VRS Winch available – a 9,500lb winch with 30M of synthetic rope, a 12,500lb winch with 26M of rope, and a compact 4,000lb utility winch with 10M of rope. All of them offer strong pulling power and fast line speed under load. They were locally designed to help you tackle Australia’s most challenging terrain and make sure you and your 4X4 make it home.
The winches are IP68 rated for water and dust, and they all feature textured UV and corrosion resistant finishes. The winches are sealed to protect from water penetration and are equipped with stainless steel hardware and fittings. So, they’re tough, durable and can handle the elements.
Winch accessories
VRS 4X4 Winches also come with a variety of accessories too, including a detachable contractor pack, remote control (so handy!), fairlead, handsaver strap, and – of course – synthetic rope and hook. They also have a limited lifetime warranty.
So, before you load up your 4X4 and hit the trails for your next off-road adventure, make sure to check out the VRS 4X4 Winches and make sure you’ve got the power and muscle backing you up to tackle any terrain.
