12V 12000lb Electric Winch with Wire Rope & Wireless Remote - Stinger12000
Prepare for any scenario with the Novawinch Stinger 12,000lb (5,443kg) Recovery System. Engineered for serious UK off-road enthusiasts and commercial professionals, this high-performance 12v electric winch is the definitive upgrade for heavy 4x4s, recovery trucks, and car transporters.
Why Choose the Novawinch Stinger?
- Unrivalled Durability: Equipped with a robust steel wire rope, this model offers exceptional abrasion resistance. As a heavy duty steel cable winch, it is the preferred choice for commercial operators working in rough terrain where contact with rocks and debris is unavoidable.
- Submersible IP68+ Rating: Built to survive the harsh British climate, the Stinger features enhanced seals that exceed IP68 standards. This "submersible" protection ensures reliable operation even in deep mud and river crossings.
- DUO Control System: Switch seamlessly between Wireless Freedom for safe distance spotting and Wired Reliability for precision loading. You are never stranded by a dead remote battery or signal interference.
- Reinforced Gearing: Featuring a high-torque 7.3hp motor and an upgraded 3-stage planetary gear system, the Stinger handles the stress of heavy 5.4-tonne loads with zero rollback thanks to its advanced mechanical braking system.
Why choose the Wire Rope version over Synthetic?
Steel wire rope is the industry standard for durability. If your winching involves dragging the line over abrasive surfaces like sharp rocks, steel edges, or through gritty mud, wire rope offers superior resistance to fraying and cutting. It is also generally easier to inspect for visible damage compared to synthetic fibers.
What is the benefit of the IP68+ rating?
Most winches are "water-resistant," but the Novawinch Stinger is engineered to be submersible. The IP68+ rating means the motor and solenoid are fully sealed against water and dust ingress, ensuring the winch performs even after being submerged in river crossings or deep bog holes.
Does the DUO control system include a wired backup?
Yes. Every Stinger winch is supplied with a hybrid control system. You get a wireless handheld remote for convenient, safe operation from up to 30m away, plus a heavy-duty 3.9m wired wander lead to ensure you always have power if the wireless signal is obstructed or batteries run low.
Can I convert this winch to synthetic rope later?
Yes, you can. However, if you switch to synthetic rope, you must also replace the steel roller fairlead with an Aluminium Hawse Fairlead. This prevents the synthetic fibers from getting pinched in the rollers or damaged by burrs left on the steel by the wire rope.
