What winch sizes and types are compatible?

The cradle is designed for universal compatibility with common compact and portable winches; verify your winch mounting hole pattern and base size before purchase.

How does the finish protect the plate for outdoor use?

• Black powder coat reduces surface rust and chipping
• Suitable for all-season outdoor applications
• Welded joints finished to limit moisture intrusion
