Read This Before Buying A New Winch For Your UTV/SUV

• Fieryred 5500 electric winch series

Why do you need an electric winch fitted in your vehicle?

Whether you are exploring on your own or off-roading with a group, a good winch can help prevent your vehicle getting stuck in the middle of nowhere, so they are frankly a no-brainer. 

        So what does electric winch mean?

An electric winch is a motorized device used for righting a vehicle from a ditch, pulling your own rig back onto the road. It is typically mounted to a vehicle's front bumper and is powered by direct current electricity provided by the vehicle's electrical system.

A winch is a great tool, and when you need one you really need one. That means you need a winch you can count on because it is usually your last resort. In today’s flooded market of new winches, 5,500 electric winches are rare, but none of us should ignore the fact that UTVers and Crossovers might need something harder than a 4k pulling winch or so.

     HIGH QUALITY CABLES AND ROPES TO ADD TO YOUR ARSENAL

A winch is only as good as the rope or cable attached to it. Replacing your winch rope or cable is important for safety reasons. Thankfully, Vicoffroad has an excellent selection of winch cables and synthetic ropes, so our customers never have to worry about finding the part they're looking for.

• STEEL CABLE VS SYNTHETIC CABLE 

Steel cable versus synthetic rope? The answer is pretty simple and boils down to what you want from your winch. Are you a recreational user or someone who winches for a living? Truth is, there are pros and cons to both steel cable and synthetic rope. We have experience with both and prepared both types of rope to let you make the right decision.

 

 When it comes to durability, the steel cable carries the day. The cable is less prone to wearing and requires little maintenance.

Great as it is in serving its purpose, it tags along with several drawbacks. Once the steel cable begins to wear out, it develops burrs. The burrs are a safety concern as they can cause injuries to the hands.

The steel cable is capable of storing a lot of energy when in use. It can expose the controllers to risks of injury in case it breaks off.

And the cable is much more substantial. It adds unnecessary bulk when it comes to carrying it around and also in recovery.

 

     SYNTHETIC ROPE

When it comes to safety, this is where the synthetic rope holds more bragging grounds than the steel cable. The synthetic cord does not store energy, so in the case where it breaks off, it won’t be fatal or cause injuries of any kind.

 The synthetic rope is very flexible. The flexibility makes it resistant to kinks.

As much as the synthetic rope seems to be the better option, it has its limitations too. One major con of the synthetic rope is high maintenance. Contrary to the steel cable, the synthetic rope needs constant maintenance.

When used in muddy situations, dirt gets into the rope and weaken the rope from inside out. It makes the rope very vulnerable to breaking down.

 

    VERDICT

The synthetic rope and the steel cable aim at providing you with the best recovery experience. But when it comes to settling for the best, it all depends on what are you going to be using it for.
