Superwinch SX 12K 12,000 lb Synthetic Rope Winch with Wireless & Wired Remote
Description
The Superwinch SX12SR is engineered to deliver the ideal combination of power, speed, innovation, and proven performance for serious off-road enthusiasts and overlanders. Built around a 6.0 HP sealed motor and 3-stage planetary gearing at a 231:1 ratio, this winch produces 12,000 lbs. of raw pulling power to handle even the most demanding recovery situations. The 3/8" UV-coated synthetic rope is lighter and safer to handle than steel wire, and the aluminum hawse fairlead keeps line feeding smoothly under load. With an IP68 rating for full dustproof and waterproof protection, the SX12SR is built to operate reliably in mud, water, and extreme temperatures from -40 degrees F to 125 degrees F. A patented integrated drum light illuminates the rope and fairlead during low-light recoveries, and the relocatable die-cast aluminum control box gives you the flexibility to mount this winch however your rig demands. Whether you're mounting it on a bumper, hitch, or tucked inside a custom build, the SX12SR has the features and toughness to earn its place on your vehicle.

FAQ
Does this winch come with both a wireless and wired remote?
Yes - both are included standard. The 12-foot wired remote features an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable LED flashlight, and the wireless handheld remote allows you to operate the winch from a safe distance with a clear line of sight to the recovery. No additional purchases required.
Is synthetic rope better than steel cable for a winch?
Synthetic rope offers several real advantages: it's significantly lighter than steel cable, safer to handle (it doesn't store kinetic energy the way steel does, so it doesn't snap back dangerously if it breaks), and is easier to work with in cold weather or with gloves on. Steel cable offers better resistance to UV exposure, heat, and abrasion in very harsh environments. For most off-road recovery use, synthetic rope is the preferred choice among serious wheelers.
What vehicles is the SX12SR compatible with?
The SX12SR uses a standard 10 in x 4.5 in (254mm x 114.3mm) mounting bolt pattern, which is compatible with most aftermarket off-road bumpers designed for trucks, Jeeps, Ford Broncos, SUVs, and other 4x4 vehicles. It can also be mounted on a hitch receiver with an appropriate hitch-mount winch plate for front-to-rear portability. Always confirm your specific bumper's winch pocket dimensions before ordering.
What does IP68 mean and why does it matter for a winch?
IP68 is the highest standard ingress protection rating for consumer and industrial equipment, meaning the winch is fully protected against dust and against continuous submersion in water. For off-road use this matters enormously - water crossings, mud, rain, and trail debris can all destroy lesser winches. The SX12SR's drum, gearbox, and contactor are all fully sealed to IP68 standards.
Does the winch require professional installation?
Most experienced DIYers can install this winch with basic hand tools. You'll need a compatible bumper or mounting plate with the correct bolt pattern (10 in x 4.5 in), and you'll need to run power leads to your vehicle's battery. Superwinch provides installation documentation to guide the process. If you're not comfortable working with high-current electrical connections, professional installation is recommended.
What is the warranty on the SX12SR?
The SX12SR is backed by Superwinch's Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty and a Limited 7-Year Electrical Warranty. This is one of the strongest warranty packages in the winch category and reflects Superwinch's confidence in the build quality of the SX Series.
