Winch Accessories & Spares
Winch Accessories & SparesTo calculate the minimum winch capacity for your vehicle, you must multiply your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which includes the vehicle, fuel, gear, and passengers by 1.5. For example, if your fully loaded 4x4 weighs 6,000lb, you need an electric winch with a minimum pulling capacity of 9,000lb.
Your choice depends on how you plan to use the winch. Synthetic rope is highly recommended for recreational 4x4 off-roading and ATVs; it is significantly lighter, easier to handle, and safer because it does not store dangerous kinetic energy. Steel cable is the industry standard for commercial recovery and heavy utility work, offering unmatched abrasion resistance when dragging loads across tarmac, concrete, or jagged rocks.
Yes. Our premium electric winches feature robust IP67 and IP68 weather sealing. This means the vital internal components, such as the high-torque motor and heavy-duty contactors, are fully protected against dust ingress and deep water submersion, ensuring reliable operation during river crossings or heavy storms.
Electric winches draw a high amount of current when under a heavy load. To prevent battery drain and maintain peak voltage, you should always keep your vehicle's engine running while operating the winch, allowing your alternator to actively recharge the battery. For frequent, heavy winching, installing a dual-battery system is highly recommended.
When you are off the beaten track or recovering a heavy commercial vehicle, your equipment needs to perform flawlessly. Novawinch electric winches combine military-grade engineering with cutting-edge technology to deliver uncompromising pulling power in the harshest environments. Built with heavy-duty internal components, superior load-holding brakes, and IP67/IP68 weather sealing, our electric winches shrug off deep water, heavy mud, and driving rain to ensure you are never left stranded.
Whether you are equipping a weekend off-road rig or outfitting a fleet of professional tow trucks, we have an electric winch engineered for your exact requirements. Explore our specialized categories to find the perfect fit:
The right voltage depends entirely on the vehicle powering the winch. Most standard vehicles, including 4x4s, pickup trucks, and 3.5-tonne recovery flatbeds, operate on a 12-volt battery system and require a 12V electric winch.
Larger commercial vehicles, HGVs, and heavy industrial plant machinery typically utilise a dual-battery 24-volt system. A 24V electric winch provides a distinct advantage in these heavy-duty applications: because it draws half the amperage to produce the same pulling force as a 12V model, the motor runs significantly cooler. This allows for longer, sustained pulls and superior efficiency during demanding professional recovery operations.
