  TANK 15,000lb Winch – Compact Heavy-Duty 4x4 Recovery Winch

  The TANK 15,000lb electric winch is a premium 4x4 recovery winch engineered for extreme off-road use in New Zealand conditions. Delivering unrivalled strength for its compact size, it provides serious pulling power without the bulk, making it ideal for modern bullbar winch installations on touring and off-road vehicles.

  Manufactured from CNC-machined billet alloy and precision-cast aluminium, the TANK 15K combines lightweight construction with exceptional structural strength. A reinforced steel drum and heavy-duty internals ensure long-term reliability under repeated high-load recoveries, whether tackling mud, sand, or steep terrain.

  Built for harsh environments, this off-road recovery winch features a pressure-tested motor sealed to 20 PSI, equivalent to operating at depths of up to 14 metres underwater. A dual-stage O-ring sealed gearbox provides IP69K-level water and dust protection, making it ideal for river crossings, deep mud, and wet New Zealand tracks.

  A 3-stage hardened steel planetary gear system delivers smooth, controlled line speed under load, while the gear-train-mounted brake isolates heat from the drum to significantly extend synthetic winch rope life. Flexible control box mounting options allow over-drum or remote installation for clean bullbar and custom 4x4 setups.

  For drivers needing maximum recovery performance in a compact package, the TANK 15,000lb 4x4 winch sets a new benchmark in strength, durability, and reliability.
