STIMULATER 5500LB ATV/UTV Winch for Off-Road — 12V, 1/4" x 50' Synthetic Rope, Wireless Remote, IP67

STIMULATER 5500LB ATV/UTV winch is a compact, waterproof 12V electric recovery winch equipped with a 1/4" x 50' synthetic rope, wireless and wired controls, and a hawse fairlead for reliable off-road recovery.

This winch combines a 5,500 lb rated pull, a permanent-magnet 12V motor and a three-stage planetary gearbox to deliver controlled, efficient recovery for ATVs, UTVs and small utility vehicles. Built with IP67 protection and a lightweight Dyneema-style synthetic line, it’s designed to resist moisture, corrosion and abrasion while keeping installation straightforward for DIYers and mechanics alike.

How much pulling power and mechanical advantage does it offer?

The STIMULATER unit delivers a 5,500 lb maximum line pull supported by a 1.79 kW (2.4 HP) motor and a 166:1 gear reduction from a three-stage planetary gearbox. This combination gives smooth, steady retrieval under load and strong mechanical advantage for common off-road extractions.

• Maximum rated pull: 5,500 lb
• Motor output: 1.79 kW / 2.4 HP
• Gear reduction: 166:1 three-stage planetary
• Light, high-strength 1/4" x 50' synthetic rope (Dyneema-style)

Is the winch weatherproof and durable for rugged conditions?

Yes — the winch is built to an IP67 protection rating, providing dust-tight performance and water resistance for short-term immersion. Corrosion-resistant finishes, UV-stable synthetic rope and sealed control components help it tolerate mud, rain and salty conditions commonly encountered on trails and waterways.

• IP67 waterproof and dustproof housing
• Corrosion- and UV-resistant synthetic rope
• Sealed control box and connectors for wetter environments
• Hawse fairlead reduces rope wear compared with roller styles

How easy is installation and operation for most ATVs and UTVs?

Installation is designed to be user-friendly: color-coded wiring and matching interface connectors simplify hookups, and the winch's compact footprint fits most ATV/UTV mounting plates. You get both a long-range wireless remote and a wired switch so you can control pulls from the vehicle or a safe distance.

• Color-matched wiring and labeled control box for quick setup
• Compact, lightweight housing fits common mounts
• Wireless remote range up to ~82 feet for flexible operation
• Wired switch included for direct, reliable control

What safety features and service support are provided?

Safety is enhanced by using a modern synthetic rope that is lighter and easier to handle than steel cable, plus the planetary gearbox design for controlled braking under load. STIMULATER backs the product with a one-year after-sales service policy to address installation or functional issues.

• Lightweight synthetic rope reduces recoil risk and is easier to manage
• Planetary gear system offers smooth, controlled power delivery
• IP67 sealing protects electricals from ingress and corrosion
• One-year customer support for parts and service guidance
