Superwinch Tiger Shark 11500 12V DC Winch with Steel Wire Rope


Description

The Superwinch Tiger Shark 11500 is one of the brand's most popular and trusted electric winches, built to deliver serious pulling power without compromise. Rated at 11,500 lbs of line pull, it is purpose-built for full-size trucks, high-GVW vehicles, trailers, and demanding off-road recovery situations. A powerful 6.0 HP series-wound motor paired with a 3-stage planetary gear system at a 218:1 ratio gives this winch the muscle to handle the toughest loads confidently and repeatedly.

From the rugged fully-welded steel drum to the stainless steel 4-way roller fairlead, every component is engineered for long-term durability in harsh environments. The ergonomic pull-and-turn freespool clutch, weather-sealed solenoid, and included handheld remote make operation straightforward in the field. If you need a winch that is reliable, capable, and proven in extreme conditions, the Tiger Shark 11500 delivers year after year.

FAQ

What vehicles is the Tiger Shark 11500 compatible with?

The Tiger Shark 11500 is designed for full-size and heavy-duty trucks, SUVs, trailers, and high-GVW vehicles. It can be mounted on most winch-ready bumpers or flatbed setups using the standard 10 in x 4.5 in bolt pattern. Always verify your bumper's winch compatibility and weight ratings before installing.

Does this winch come with a rope already spooled on the drum?

Yes, the Tiger Shark 11500 comes pre-spooled with 84 feet of 3/8 in steel wire rope, so it is ready to mount and use right out of the box. The first layer is heat insulated to protect both the rope and the drum during heavy pulls.

Is steel wire rope the right choice, or should I consider synthetic rope?

Steel wire rope is extremely durable and resistant to abrasion, making it a great choice for heavy-duty work, commercial use, and high-load recovery. Synthetic rope is lighter and safer to handle if it snaps under tension, and it is increasingly preferred for off-road trail use. If you prefer synthetic rope, Superwinch also offers a Tiger Shark 11500SR variant with synthetic rope.

Can this winch be mounted on a flatbed or non-bumper application?

Yes. The Tiger Shark 11500 includes an integrated mount base and mounting hardware that allows it to be installed on winch-ready bumpers or flatbed applications. The standard 10 in x 4.5 in bolt pattern is compatible with many universal winch mount plates as well.

What is the warranty on the Tiger Shark 11500?

The Tiger Shark 11500 is backed by a Limited Lifetime Mechanical warranty and a Limited 7-Year Electrical warranty. This is one of the most comprehensive warranties in the winch category and reflects Superwinch's confidence in the long-term durability of their products.

Does the winch require professional installation?

Most experienced DIYers can install the Tiger Shark 11500 at home with basic hand tools. You will need to mount the winch to your bumper or mount plate, connect the power leads to your vehicle's battery, and route the remote control cable into the cab. If you are not comfortable working with high-amperage electrical connections, professional installation is recommended.
