Premium Integrated Recovery Solution for Serious Off-Roaders

The ARB Bushranger Covert 12,000lbs Wire Winch is engineered for 4x4 owners who demand reliable, high-capacity recovery in the harshest environments. Designed by ARB and Bushranger, this winch stands out with its Australian-developed integrated motor control unit, eliminating the need for a bulky external control box and streamlining installation on modern bull bars and recovery bumpers.

How the Bushranger Covert Winch Enhances Recovery Capability

This winch is purpose-built to help extract heavy vehicles from deep mud, sand, snow, or rocky terrain where self-recovery is critical. The 12,000lbs (5,443kg) pulling power, robust 25-metre wire rope, and all-in-one control system make it a dependable asset for overland expeditions, remote touring, and challenging off-road tracks. The integrated design reduces exposed components, minimising snag points and potential trail damage.
