What to Know About Winches

Brush up on these quick facts and features about different UTV parts and accessories before choosing the one that’s right for you.

Why Do You Need a UTV Winch?

Getting stuck in mud, sand or snow is not uncommon in the off-roading world. A UTV winch comes in handy when it comes to recovering UTVs that have gone off course. Equally, you can use your winch to clear fallen trees from your path and move other heavy objects as well as increase your safety when it comes to tackling steep inclines or crossing water. A winch will lessen your risks in all cases.

Types of UTV Winches

Electric Winches: Electric winches operate using your UTV’s electrical system or a battery. They are known for ease of use and installation and come in different load capacities, letting you choose what suits you best.

Hydraulic Winches: Hydraulic winches are the best option for heavy-duty needs. They are ultra-robust and can handle the extremes of off-road conditions. However, they do require a hydraulic power source, which may require additional purchases and considerations.

Synthetic Rope Winch: UTV winches come with either synthetic rope or steel cable. Synthetic rope is lightweight, easy to handle, and safer in case of breakage. It also doesn't store energy like steel cable, reducing the risk of dangerous recoil.

Steel Rope Winch: Steel cable is more durable and resistant to abrasion. Consider your needs and choose the one that’s best for you.

A UTV winch is an invaluable accessory to have handy in case of clearing trees, crossing tricky terrain, or recovering other vehicles. Get yours today from SideXSide Source.
