VONLX Winch Hitch Mounting Plate — 2" Receiver Universal Winch Cradle, Heavy-Duty Powder-Coat

VONLX Winch Hitch Mounting Plate is a universal 2" receiver winch cradle that secures most trailer and vehicle recovery winches for front or rear mounting.

Whether you need a stable place to mount a recovery winch on an ATV, UTV, pickup, or trailer, this heavy-duty hitch-mounted plate gives you a fast, bolt-free solution that fits standard 2" receivers. Built from thick steel with a corrosion-resistant powder coat, the VONLX plate includes the shank, three mounting holes, a winch pin, and a clip — everything required for a solid, removable winch installation without welding or permanent vehicle modification.

How does this mount fit different winch models and receivers?

The VONLX plate is designed around industry-standard dimensions so it pairs with most electric and mechanical trailer winches. The shank is a standard 2" size and the plate has three adjustable mounting holes to align with common winch bolt patterns. This flexibility reduces the need for drilling or custom adapters.

• Standard 2" receiver shank for universal hitch compatibility
• Three mounting hole positions to match common winch bolt patterns
• Includes winch pin and retaining clip for secure attachment
• Removable design for quick installation and removal

How tough is the plate against rust, load, and weather?

VONLX manufactures the load-bearing plate from extra-thick heavy-duty steel to handle the stresses of vehicle recovery tasks. A black powder-coat finish adds corrosion resistance, making the mount suitable for wet, salty, or muddy environments where off-road equipment is used. While built strong, it’s important to match the plate and hitch rating to your winch’s working load.

• Thick steel plate resists bending under load
• Powder-coat prevents rust in rain, snow, and mud
• Engineered for vehicle recovery and towing applications
• Check hitch and winch ratings before heavy-duty use

Where can I mount this winch plate on my vehicle?

The cradle installs into any standard 2" receiver, so it can be used at the front or rear of trucks, SUVs, ATVs, UTVs, and many trailers. Because it uses the receiver and pin system, it mounts quickly and does not require welding or permanent modifications. This makes it ideal when you want a temporary but strong mounting point.

• Front or rear receiver mounting for versatile recovery options
• No welding — installs with included pin and clip
• Works with most 2" receiver-equipped vehicles and trailers
• Portable solution for seasonal or multi-vehicle use

What’s included and how easy is installation?

The package arrives complete with the winch bracket plate, a winch pin, and a retaining clip so you can mount immediately after purchase. Installation is straightforward: slide the shank into a 2" receiver, line up the pin holes, insert the pin, and secure the clip. No specialty tools or permanent alterations are required.

• 1x winch bracket plate, 1x winch pin, 1x retaining clip included
• Slide-in installation in minutes with basic hand tools
• Removable and reusable across multiple vehicles
• Compatible with most industry-standard winches

Who is this for? The VONLX winch hitch mounting plate is aimed at off-road enthusiasts, farmers, tradespeople, and anyone who needs a strong, temporary winch mounting point without modifying their vehicle. It’s a practical choice for ATV/UTV owners, pickup truck drivers, and trailer operators who want to add recovery capability quickly and remove it when not in use. Verify your receiver and winch capacity to ensure safe operation, and use rated hardware and proper recovery techniques when towing or winching.
