ZESUPER 4500 lb Electric Winch 12V Waterproof (Matte Black) — IP67, 43 ft Nylon Rope

ZESUPER 4500 lb Electric Winch is a compact, waterproof 12V recovery winch designed to pull up to 4,500 pounds for ATVs, UTVs, boats, trailers and light off-road vehicles.

This all-in-one winch combines a high-torque motor, three-stage planetary gearing, and an IP67-rated housing to deliver reliable recovery performance in wet, dusty, and cold conditions. The kit arrives with a mounting plate, hardware and both wired and wireless remotes so you can set it up quickly and operate it from a safe distance. Built to reduce common hazards associated with steel cable, the included 43 ft UV-resistant nylon rope weighs less and absorbs shock, making handling and stowage easier.

How powerful is the winch and what makes it reliable?

The ZESUPER winch uses a 12V DC 2.0HP pure copper permanent magnet motor paired with a 166:1 gear ratio to produce a rated 4,500 lb pulling force. Reliability comes from a sealed IP67 housing, three-stage planetary gears that distribute load smoothly, and an automatic braking system that locks the drum if power is lost.

• Rated pulling capacity: 4,500 lb (2,041 kg)
• Motor: 12V DC, 2.0 HP, pure copper for better heat resistance
• Gearing: 166:1 ratio with three-stage planetary gears
• Safety: automatic braking locks load during power interruptions

Can I use this winch in rain, mud, or snowy conditions?

Yes—the winch is IP67 dust- and waterproof, so it tolerates immersion up to a limited depth briefly and keeps out dust in off-road environments. The matte black finish helps resist corrosion, and the nylon rope is UV-resistant and lighter than steel, making field handling in wet or cold weather easier and safer.

• IP67 rating for water and dust protection
• UV-resistant 43 ft nylon rope reduces weight and snap-back risk
• Corrosion-resistant matte finish improves durability
• Works in low-temperature and wet conditions without routine cable maintenance

What controls and connections are included, and how quick is installation?

The package includes both wired and wireless remote controls so you can operate the winch from nearby or at distance for safer recovery. An upgraded solenoid minimizes short-circuit risk; wiring is straightforward—connect yellow and blue to the winch and red and black to the battery. With the supplied mounting plate and hardware, many users complete installation in under an hour.

• Dual control options: wired and wireless remotes
• Upgraded solenoid for improved electrical safety
• Complete kit: mounting plate and necessary hardware included
• Estimated install time: under 60 minutes for typical setups

How does the nylon rope compare to steel cable for safety and maintenance?

The supplied 43 ft nylon rope weighs about one-quarter of a comparable steel cable and stretches to absorb energy, which lowers the chance of dangerous snap-back if a load shifts. Unlike steel, the rope requires no rust prevention and is kinder to hands during spooling and handling, reducing routine maintenance tasks.

• Length: 43 ft of UV-resistant nylon rope
• Lower weight reduces strain when spooling and storing
• Energy-absorbing stretch reduces snap-back hazard risk
• No rust treatment needed, easier seasonal storage

Who is this for: The ZESUPER 4500 lb Electric Winch suits owners of ATVs, UTVs, compact SUVs, boats, trailers and light off-road vehicles who need a reliable, weatherproof recovery solution with fast installation and dual remote options. It's ideal for weekend riders, boat owners, and small-fleet operators who prioritize safety, corrosion resistance and straightforward controls without the bulk of heavy industrial winches.
