Rough Country's 4,500 lb ProSeries winch is a heavy-duty 12V electric recovery system with a 1.4 HP motor and 50 ft of synthetic rope built for dependable ATV and UTV pulls.

This winch pairs strong, compact mechanics with user-focused controls so you can recover vehicles, haul gear or clear obstacles without unnecessary bulk or complexity. Designed for off-road and utility use, the system combines a planetary gear train, automatic braking and waterproof components to deliver predictable performance on the trail, at the job site, or around camp.

How much pulling power and speed can I expect?

The ProSeries delivers 4,500 pounds of rated pull driven by a 1.4 HP motor and a planetary gearbox for consistent, reliable line take-up. The gear ratio and motor size balance torque and speed so you get efficient recovery without overloading the electrical system on most UTVs and ATVs.

• Rated capacity: 4,500 lb standard recovery rating
• Motor: 1.4 HP, 12V DC for vehicle battery compatibility
• Gear system: planetary gears with automatic brake for smooth stops
• Designed for frequent use: optimized torque-to-speed for UTV/ATV applications

What advantages does the synthetic rope provide?

The included 50 ft synthetic rope offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio versus steel cable and reduces the risk of rebound if it fails. It’s lightweight for easier handling, floats on water for certain recoveries, and comes finished with a rubber stopper to protect the drum during full spooling.

• Length: 50 ft synthetic rope for extended reach
• Safety: lower stored energy than steel cable, reducing snap-back risk
• Handling: lighter and easier to manage for one person operations
• Accessories: aluminum hawse fairlead and clevis hook included for smooth wear

Is this winch durable for trail and all-weather use?

Yes — the unit is engineered to resist water and dirt intrusion and keep electrical components protected during rugged use. Heavy-gauge wiring, a waterproof (IP67-level) solenoid/receiver box and sealed motor construction help it withstand mud, rain and common trail abuse.

• Waterproofing: IP67-rated protection on key components
• Electrical: heavy-gauge wiring and water-resistant solenoid for long service life
• Hardware: corrosion-resistant aluminum fairlead and stainless-style fittings
• Controls: wireless remote plus dash-mounted wired rocker switch for flexible operation

How simple is installation and day-to-day operation?

Installation is straightforward with a bolt-on design compatible with many UTV and ATV mounts; the kit includes the necessary hardware and a clear instruction guide. For operation you can choose the wireless remote when you need distance or the dash rocker switch for quick, on-vehicle control.
