Max Line Pull 3500lbs.(1588kgs) Gear reduction ratio 170:1 Motor Permanent magnet DC12V motor with 1.3hp output Overall Dimensions 13.2in.(335mm) L × 4.6in.(116mm) W × 4.4in.(112 mm) H Drum size 1.46in.(37mm) D × 3.15in.(80 mm) L Cable 42ft.(12.8m) L of 1/5in.(5.2mm) D Net weight 23.6lbs.(10.7kgs)

This winch is equipped with a permanent magnet motor and is designed for intermittent duty general use. This winch is not to be used for industrial lifting or moving people. Improper operation could damage the winch and void the warranty. Free spool clutch is operated by a pull and turn knob, which disengages the gearbox, allowing the cable to be released.

Correct installation of the winch is required for proper operation. Mount the winch on the mounting channel by using a screw(M8×16mm)(four sets). Mount the winch with the mounting channel on the vehicle or other fixed installation by using a screw(M8×1.25×35mm), M8 nut, Φ8 flat washer and Φ8 spring washer(two sets).

Pull and turn the clutch knob, so the drum can turn freely by hand. Use hand saver bar to hitch the hook of the cable assembly and pull cable to the load. Attach the cable hook to the load.

Press the "IN" button on the ATV/UTV switch to re-spool the cable. Press the "OUT" button to reverse directions. Wait until the motor stops before reversing directions. Re-spool the cable after completing the operation.

Engage the clutch by turning the clutch knob to the "ENGAGE" position. When inserting the cable into the drum, insert it into the correct end of the hole provided. Tighten the screws. Operate the winch an re-spool the cable around the drum tightly.

Periodically check tightness of mounting bolts and electrical connections. Remove all the dirt or corrosion and always keep clean. Do not attempt to disassemble the gearbox. Repairs should be done by the manufacturer or authorized repair center. The gearbox has been lubricated using high temperature lithium grease in the factory. No internal lubrication is required except when being repaired.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Never lift people or hoist loads over people. Do not lift items vertically, this winch is designed for horizontal use only.
• Never overload. Be sure all equipment used meets the winch's maximum line pull rating. When double-lining, pulley blocks should be rated for a minimum of two times the winch's line pull rating.
• Do not attempt prolonged pulls with heavy loads. The electric winch is designed for intermittent use only, and should not be used in a constant duty application. Never pull for more than one minute or exceed the rated load. If the winch motor becomes hot to the touch, stop the winch and allow it to cool down for several minutes.
• Never operate winch with less than 5 turns of cable around the winch drum since the cable end may not withstand full load.
• Avoid continuous pulls from extreme angles because this will cause the cable to gather on one end of the drum and damage the cable. Be aware that the winch's line pull capacity is the max line pull of the first layer. Never operate winch pulling a load that exceeds the rated capacity.
• Never hook the cable back to itself because it could damage the cable.
• Be sure the winch is mounted securely on the vehicle or bracket before operation.
• Before moving a load, inspect the cable. Prevent kinks and uneven cable layer before they occur. Apply proper tension to loads under 100lbs.
• Do not move your vehicle to assist the winch in pulling the load. It will be easy to overload, and cause cable damage. Be aware of the danger zone. Keep away from the danger zone during the operation. The danger zone is the area of the winch drum, the fairlead (if fitted), the cable, the pulley block (if used), the hook, and the motor.
• Never approach or span the cable when the winch is under load.
• When using the winch to move a load, place the vehicle transmission in neutral, set vehicle brake, and chock all wheels. The vehicle engine should be running during winch operation so that battery has fully electricity. Never use the winch when there is a lack of voltage.
• Never disconnect free spool cultch when there is a load on the winch.
• Always stand clear of the cable, hook and winch. You should disconnect the clutch first, then use the hand saver bar to hitch the hook to pull the cable.
• Inspect winch, cable, hooks and other accessories frequently. A frayed cable with broken strands should be replaced immediately. Use heavy leather gloves when handling the cable. Do not let the cable slide through your hands. Inspect the cable before use. Mashed, pinched, frayed or kinked areas severely reduce the load-carrying capability. Replacement cables must be re-spooled under 100lbs.
• To keep stated tensile, re-spool the cable around the drum tightly after operation.
• Do not operate winch when under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Always stay alert during operation.
• Wear eye protection and personal protective equipment while operating winch.
• For loads over 50% of rated line pull, the use of the pulley block/snatch block to double the cable is recommended.
• Do not operate around potentially flammable liquids, gases, or debris. Sparks may occur, resulting in the ignition of fire.

Traveller Winch Reviews

Traveller Winch Reviews – Traveller Winch has gained a reputation for manufacturing reliable, heavy-duty winches. When trawling through forums, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone saying a bad word about them or their machines.

But does Traveller Winch live up to the hype, or is there more to the brand than meets the eye?

In this brand review of Traveller Winch, we look at what makes the brand so popular. We also review a couple of their best-selling machines so you can get a picture of what to expect.

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast or you’re searching for a reliable winch, this article is for you.

Traveller Winch (Brand Overview)

These days, winches can be attached to almost anything from snow ploughs to boats and all-terrain vehicles. This makes it an essential machine for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, tow-drivers, and off-roaders.

Overall Assessment 

Traveller Winch is a popular winch manufacturing brand known for exceptional quality at an affordable price. They’ve been attracting customers for decades with their durability, high capacity, and price point.

Their winches also come with different line pulls which gives you the choice of either rope or cable pulls.

Traveller Winches generally feature 4-bolt mounting systems for added stability and security, as well as 12V motors which allow you to pull heavy loads.

As mentioned, Traveller Winch is known for the durability and high quality of its winches. This is because they use durable steel for their winches. The durable steel is not only heavy-duty and long-lasting but also erosion resistant.

Given that it was built for the outdoors, this is essential since it protects the winch from the elements.

Durable steel also allows the winch to take a bit of a beating without breaking down.

In addition to the durable steel, Traveller Winch uses rubberized remote switches. The remote switch is easy to operate and is surprisingly beginner-friendly.

The rubber keeps the switch safe from most environmental damage like strong winds and dust. This means you can rely on your winch to get you out of any sticky situations no matter the weather.

Traveller Winch is known for producing high-capacity winches able to operate reliably under heavy strain. This allows the winch to handle heavy loads without you having to worry about damage to the motor.

Traveller Winch offers great value for money, especially when compared to other leading brands. That’s not to say that they’re cheap, necessarily. After all, you get what you pay for.

For the quality you get, the price of the winches is more than appropriate, it’s a bargain.  

Traveller Winch offers a wide range to choose from. Their products are designed to meet a variety of needs instead of simply focusing on producing a single niche product.

This means you’ll have no problem finding a winch that suits you. Traveller Winch also offers a much wider variety of winches than competitor brands.  

Each product from the Traveller Winch brand comes with a 1-year warranty which assures you of the quality and longevity of the product.

While this isn’t revolutionary, it speaks to their amazing customer care. The warranty also promises that if you’re unsatisfied for any reason, you can send it back and be credited for your purchase.

Customer Opinions 

So, what do customers of Traveller Winch have to say about the brand? A common opinion of Traveller Winch is that they value quality construction.

Secondly, customers found their products to be durable. Customers were impressed with the high load-bearing capacity. With the wide variety of applications of the winch, Traveller Winch’s products are often in high demand.

A few downsides that customers mentioned was the price of many of their products. 

There were also a few customers who noted that installation was complicated, and the instruction manual did little to guide them through the process.

Best Traveller Winch Models – Traveller Winch Reviews

We’ve mentioned the wide variety of machines that Traveller Winch offers but, how do you know which one is right for you?

We’ve rounded up six of the most popular Traveller Winch winches around and done a comprehensive review of each.

The Traveller 12000 lbs Winch

The Traveller 12000 lbs Winch is a heavy-duty piece of equipment ideal for pick-ups, snowplows, and towing Jeeps.

This machine has a 12V DC 3.0 HP series wound motor and, as the name suggests, can pull anything up to a maximum weight of 12,000 pounds. This is ideal for heavy use, particularly useful in construction or the industrial sector.

The winch comes with an 84-foot steel cable attached via a roller fairlead. The fairlead minimizes damage to the cable when pulling. This increases the longevity of the cable and makes sure that winching and towing is safe.

As with most Traveller Winch machines, the 12000 comes with an automatic braking system which increases control when winching.

The Traveller 12000 has a powder-coated finish and weighs in at 85.83 pounds.

The only downside to this machine is that there’s no remote control to keep you at a safe distance when operating.

The Traveller X 10000 lbs Synthetic Rope Winch

The Traveller X 10000 lbs Synthetic Rope Winch has an 82-foot synthetic rope with a half-inch diameter. Like the 12000 lbs, the X 10000 is durable and is ideal for heavy-duty use. The rope is sturdy and resilient to fraying.

Jeeps, snowploughs, trucks, and moderately-sized pick-ups can all benefit from the X10000.

Unlike the Traveller 12000, this comes with a handy wireless remote switch control that’s fully operational up to 100 feet away. This allows you to use the winch safely. With the addition of the automatic braking system and the free spooling clutch, it’s an extremely safe machine to operate.

The additional safety features make this a great choice for construction and industrial use.

This winch is operated by a series-wound DC 12V power motor with a 2.8 HP output. The Traveller X 10000 can handle a maximum of 10000 lbs of weight when pulling and has an aluminum fairlead.  

The aluminum fairlead reduces the strain on the synthetic rope. This will minimize wear-and-tear on your rope and increase the pull strength of the winch by optimizing the angle of the pull.

The Traveller 9000 lbs Winch

The 9000 lbs Winch is another machine designed for pulling pick-ups, jeeps, snowploughs, and trucks. The winch has a maximum pulling capacity of 9000 lbs.

It has a 12V 2.8HP wound motor powerful enough for heavy-duty, intensive usage. It also has a much longer cable than the other machines at 95 feet. The cable is made with steel and is fed through a standard roller fairlead. 

The 9000 also comes with standard automatic braking mechanisms which make controlling the winch easier.

The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a remote control which we felt was a bit disappointing.

The Traveller 4500 lbs Winch

The Traveller 4500 is ideal if you’ve been searching for a lightweight machine for a UTV, snowplough, or boat. While not as powerful as the other machines on this list, the 4500 is more compact and comes with a rubberized remote switch and handlebar mount.

This winch has a maximum pull capacity of 4,500 lbs and sports a less powerful 12V 1.3HP permanent magnet motor. It comes with the standard powder-coating which keeps dust and dirt from gathering in the mechanism, preventing jams and breakages. 

The 47.6 feet aircraft cable is well coated and attached to a standard roller fairlead. Other features include the automatic braking mechanism that acts as a fail-safe in the event of breakage of power cuts. 

In addition, it has a free spooling clutch which makes it easier to control when winching and increases the pull strength. This allows you to pull heavier loads than you normally could with such a small motor. 

The Traveller 3500 lbs Winch

As the name implies, the Traveller 3500 lbs winch is capable of pulling a maximum weight of 3500 lbs. This makes it ideal for ATV, snowploughs, and boats. It could even work for a small truck if you’re not doing any heavy-duty work. 

The cable is made of aircraft-grade steel and has been galvanised to prevent rusting. This keeps your lead protected against harsh weather, making it an ideal choice for adventurers and outdoorsmen

This machine comes with a free spooling clutch, an automatic braking system, and a handy handlebar-mounted remote switch. 

This is a pretty nifty winch that’s surprisingly versatile given its size. 

The Traveller 2500 lbs Winch

The Traveller 2500 is a lightweight, yet surprisingly powerful machine. It’s powered by a 12V 1.1HP permanent magnetic motor and can pull a maximum weight of 2,500 lbs. 

Like many of the Traveller Winch machines, it has a free spooling clutch, a standard automatic braking system, and a handlebar-mounted remote switch. These features all make for a winch with excellent control, strength, and ease of use. 

Traveller Winch is a leading brand that has built a solid reputation for producing reliable, sturdy winches that last a lifetime. 

The wide variety offered by Traveller means there’s a machine available to suit most needs. 

While the Traveller Winch is on the more pricey side, it’s great value for money.

This 9,000 lb-pulling capacity winch is great when you have a midsize pickup truck or vehicle for overlanding. Since the popular rule of thumb when it comes to winch capacity is to double the weight of your vehicle, midsize pickups such as the Nissan Frontier or Toyota Tacoma can benefit from a 9,000-pound-capacity winch.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Traveller Winch

1. Capacity – Known as the winch rating, this is the maximum weight that the winch can safely pull. To know the right capacity, some multiply the gross weight of their vehicle by 2 (while others multiply it by 1.5). The resulting number will be the minimum winch capacity you will need for pulling. 

2. Line Length – Generally, longer line length allows you more flexibility when it comes to solving difficult situations. For higher capacity Travelers winches, go for a model with 100 feet of line or more.

3. Mounting Compatibility – When you are getting a Traveller winch, make sure that it can be mounted on your vehicle. If you missed checking this feature, you may end up buying a winch that you can’t install on your Jeep or pickup unless you spend more on a universal winch mounting plate.

4. Motor Type – There are two popular types of motors used in Traveller Winches: series wound motor and the permanent magnet motor.

If you are looking for a Traveller Winch for heavy duty application, get one with a series wound motor. While these Travellers winches are on the expensive side, you can be assured that your winch can help you in the most difficult recovery situations and under extreme weather conditions. 

Additionally, winches with a series wound motor perform consistently over time, unlike those with permanent magnet motors. Due to magnetic wear and tear, winches with permanent magnet motors become less effective during their lifetime. 

If you want to buy some Traveller winch parts like Traveller winch cover, wireless remote controls or Traveller winch mounting plate, you can easily get to it.

Traveller 12000 lb winch review.

Our Rating​

Features & Key Technical Data

If you are looking for a really heavy duty and powerful winch for towing Jeeps, trucks, pick-ups or snowplows, then go for this. The great thing about it is that it has 3 HP series wound motor and 12000 lb pulling capacity. This winch is capable of pulling anything weighing below 12000 lbs. It will surely pull you out.

This winch is equipped with 83.7 ft steel cable going through a roller fairlead to minimize damage to the wire. By that it enables the wire to be used longer while maintaining its strength.

Moreover, the automatic braking system provides you with more control over winching. Therefore, you can lead your pulling more appropriately.

But this 12000 lb winch doesn’t come with a remote control. I expected a wireless remote control with this winch.

Overall, this is a well-built winch and very easy to install.

Traveller 9000 lb Winch Review

This is another winch that is designed for pulling trucks, pick-ups, jeep and snow plows. This winch has the capacity of pulling anything weighing equal or below 9000 lbs.

This product uses a series wound motor, it is a heavy duty performer. No doubt, it will help you in any recovery situations, even a difficult one.

The rope length of this winch is longer than the previous one I reviewed, which is a plus. It comes with 95 ft steel rope that goes through a roller fairlead for smooth winching. You don’t have to worry about the cable if you are pulling at different angles. The roller fairlead protects your wire.

Like the previous winch, this winch features an automatic braking mechanism that makes controlling the winch easier. Also, you won’t get any remote control with this winch.

Last but not the least, this winch also features a heavy-duty rubberized remote switch. You don’t have to be bothered about it because the rubber makes you feel comfortable using this remote switch.

Traveller 4500 lb Winch Review

If you’re looking for a winch for UTV, boats and snowplows, this winch is a good option for you. It has the capacity of pulling a weight equal or below 4500 lbs. 1.3 HP motor is equipped with this winch. They are powder-coated products. That makes them long-lasting.

Its 47.6 ft. aircraft cable is well galvanized. This, it increases its life-span and it will still give you smooth performance.

Additionally, these free spooling clutch, automatic braking mechanism and handlebar-mounted remote switch provides you with more control over winching. It makes your pulling better and more accurate.

Traveller 3500 lb Winch Review

This 3500 lb winch from Traveller is also suitable for pulling ATV, boats and snowplows. It is capable of pulling anything weighing up to 3500 lbs.

And to avoid the 42 ft. x 7/32 aircraft cable from getting rusty, it was galvanized. So you can keep working with it without major issues. That also means it does not need high maintenance.

With this model’s free spooling clutch, automatic braking system and handlebar-mounted remote switch, it is easier to control the winch.

Traveller 2500 lb Winch Review

This lightweight winch is capable of pulling anything that weighs up to 2500 lbs. It is designed for use with ATV, boats and snow plows and for intermittent duties and general use.

This 2500 lb winch is equipped with 46 ft galvanized aircraft cable that is durable enough for winching and which goes through a roller fairlead. Your cables will last long because this roller fairlead helps to lessen the damage of the wire while you are using it.

Like some of the above products it also has a free spooling clutch, handlebar-mounted remote switch and automatic braking system to make controlling the winch easier. The more you have control, the more the operation runs smoother and easier to manage.

It has a permanent magnet motor. Using it helps you to have a good pulling power and performance.

If you don’t have to pull beyond 2500 lb, for sure you will consider this. This Traveller Winch is a best choice because the price is cheaper than the above winches. It saves you money. And aside from that, it is less heavier compared to what we have reviewed.

Verdict On Traveller Winch Review

You can avoid getting stuck in an off-road trip just by having the tools you need. By possessing one of these winches, you can save time and eliminate unnecessary stress. I highly recommend that you get one.

In this traveller winch reviews article, I’ve tried to mention the main features of each winch.  And I hope this helped you to decide if you should buy traveller winch or not. And if you decide to buy one I hope this article helps you to pick which of these winches will be good according to what your needs.

It’s up to you now.

I winch you all the best!
