Premium 13mm Multi-Strand Synthetic Winch Rope
The WINCHMAX Original Orange comes equipped with 20 meters (approximately 65 feet) of 13mm multi-strand synthetic winch rope, providing a lightweight alternative to traditional steel winch cable.
Synthetic rope is particularly popular among off-road enthusiasts because it offers easier handling and reduced weight compared with comparable steel cable. Learn how to choose truck winches fro your pickup here.
Advantages of Synthetic Winch Rope
Lightweight Recovery Equipment
Synthetic rope weighs significantly less than steel cable, making rope deployment, handling, and recovery preparation easier.
Flexible Construction
The multi-strand design offers flexibility during rope deployment and storage, avoiding the permanent metallic kinks that can develop in steel cable.
Reduced Risk from Broken Steel Strands
Synthetic rope eliminates the sharp wire splinters associated with damaged steel winch cable.
Practical Recovery Reach
The included 65-foot rope provides useful reach for selecting suitable recovery anchors or loading positions.
Designed for Demanding Pulling Applications
The synthetic rope is supplied as part of the WINCHMAX heavy-duty recovery package, offering a practical combination of handling convenience and pulling capability.
Synthetic rope can still fail violently when overloaded or damaged. Always inspect it for abrasion, cuts, heat exposure, and deterioration before use.
Twin Wireless Remote Controls for Convenient Winch Operation
Recovery operations aren’t always straightforward. Sometimes the safest operating position is away from the vehicle, where the operator can maintain a clear view of the recovery path.
The WINCHMAX 17,500 lb winch includes two wireless remote controllers, providing convenient control without requiring the operator to remain directly beside the winch.
Benefits of Dual Wireless Controls
- Operate the winch from a suitable position away from the recovery line.
- Maintain better visibility during vehicle loading or recovery.
- Keep a second remote available as a backup.
- Avoid relying on a permanently attached handheld controller.
- Improve operational flexibility during demanding recovery situations.
The supplied specifications do not establish an exact wireless operating range. Always test remote communication before beginning a recovery and follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Never stand in the direct path of a tensioned winch rope or between the winch and its anchor point.
Original Orange Design with Heavy-Duty Construction
The WINCHMAX Original Orange stands out with its distinctive orange finish, giving your recovery setup a recognizable appearance while complementing rugged truck and trailer builds.
More importantly, the winch is designed for demanding outdoor pulling applications where durable construction and properly maintained recovery equipment are essential.
Built for Practical Recovery Use
- Heavy-duty 12V electric winch configuration.
- Manufacturer-rated 17,500 lb pulling capacity.
- Distinctive Original Orange finish.
- Synthetic rope for lighter handling.
- Wireless control for operational flexibility.
- Included protective cover for storage and transport.
Whether mounted on a dedicated recovery vehicle or an appropriately equipped off-road truck, the WINCHMAX Original Orange offers a combination of serious pulling capacity and practical recovery accessories.
Ideal for Trucks, 4x4s, Car Haulers, and Utility Trailers
The WINCHMAX 17,500 lb electric winch is designed for drivers and equipment owners who need substantial horizontal pulling capability.
Full-Size Pickup Trucks
Larger trucks can become difficult to recover when stuck in mud, soft ground, or uneven terrain. A properly selected heavy-duty winch provides additional recovery capability when traction is insufficient.
Off-Road 4×4 Vehicles
For enthusiasts exploring challenging terrain, a high-capacity winch can provide useful self-recovery assistance when properly installed on a suitable vehicle.
Car Haulers and Vehicle Trailers
The WINCHMAX can assist with controlled vehicle loading onto compatible car haulers when the winch, mounting structure, ramp system, and attachment points are rated for the operation.
Utility and Equipment Trailers
For property owners and commercial operators, an appropriately installed electric winch can assist with positioning or loading wheeled equipment within the system’s rated capacity.
Important: Trailer loading and vehicle recovery require different considerations. Confirm the intended application is permitted by the manufacturer’s instructions, and never use the winch to lift or suspend a load.
Complete WINCHMAX Recovery Kit with Protective Cover
The WINCHMAX Original Orange includes several useful accessories to support installation, recovery preparation, and equipment protection.
Included Components
- WINCHMAX Original Orange 17,500 lb electric winch.
- 20m / 65ft × 13mm multi-strand synthetic winch rope.
- Two wireless remote controllers.
- Clevis hook with safety latch.
- Hand saver strap.
- Protective WINCHMAX winch cover.
The clevis hook provides a connection point for compatible recovery hardware, while the hand saver strap helps the operator handle the hook without placing fingers directly near the fairlead.
The included cover helps protect the winch from dirt, road grime, moisture, and environmental exposure while the equipment is stored or transported.
The cover does not make the winch waterproof, and it should not be treated as a substitute for routine inspection and maintenance.
Protective Winch Cover for Outdoor Storage
Truck and trailer winches are frequently exposed to road debris, sunlight, rain, and dust even when they’re not being used.
The included WINCHMAX protective cover provides an additional layer of protection during storage and travel.
Why a Winch Cover Matters
- Helps shield the winch from road dirt and grime.
- Reduces direct exposure to sunlight and weather.
- Helps keep the winch cleaner between recovery operations.
- Provides convenient protection for externally mounted equipment.
- Supports regular equipment care and maintenance.
Always remove the cover before operating the winch and allow wet equipment to dry as appropriate before prolonged covered storage.

WINCHMAX 17,500 lb vs. Smaller Truck Winches
Choosing the right winch involves more than selecting the largest pulling capacity available.
Smaller recovery winches can be appropriate for lighter trail vehicles, while heavier trucks and demanding recovery applications may benefit from additional capacity.
| Winch Capacity | Typical Application Considerations |
|---|---|
| 3,000 lb | Lightweight ATVs and compatible utility vehicles |
| 12,000 lb | Many properly equipped Jeeps, pickups, and SUVs |
| 17,500 lb | Heavy-duty trucks, 4x4s, and suitable trailer installations |
| 20,000 lb | Specialized high-capacity recovery applications |
These are general application categories, not guaranteed vehicle fitment recommendations. Actual winch selection should consider vehicle gross weight, recovery resistance, mounting strength, and manufacturer guidance. Learn how to wire your automotive relay for clean power here.
Important Winch Installation and Recovery Safety Tips
A heavy-duty electric winch can generate enormous pulling forces. Proper installation and recovery practices are essential.
Before using your WINCHMAX 17,500 lb winch:
- Verify that the winch mounting plate and vehicle attachment points are rated for the intended recovery loads.
- Inspect the synthetic rope, hook, and recovery hardware before each use.
- Confirm the vehicle’s battery and electrical system meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
- Use appropriately rated recovery points, shackles, and anchor equipment.
- Maintain a clear recovery area and keep spectators away from the tensioned rope.
- Never exceed the rated capacity of the weakest component.
- Follow manufacturer instructions for safe rope spooling and winch duty cycles.
- Never use the winch for lifting people or suspending loads.
For trailer installations, verify the mounting structure can withstand the forces generated during vehicle loading and that the load is independently secured after positioning.
