Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the advantage of synthetic rope over steel cable?

Synthetic rope offers several advantages: it's significantly lighter (about 1/4 the weight of steel), safer (doesn't store kinetic energy like steel cable), floats on water, is easier to handle, and doesn't corrode. The UV coating on the SX12SR's rope provides additional protection against sun damage.
+ How does the IP68 rating benefit winch performance?

The IP68 rating means the winch is completely dust-tight and can be submerged in water beyond 1 meter depth continuously. This ensures reliable operation in muddy conditions, river crossings, heavy rain, or any environment where water and debris exposure is a concern.
+ Can the control box be mounted in different positions?

Yes, the die-cast aluminum control box is designed to be relocatable. This allows you to position it wherever it works best for your specific vehicle setup, improving installation flexibility and optimizing cable routing.
+ What does "clockable gear box" mean?

A clockable gear box can be rotated to different positions during installation. This feature allows you to orient the winch motor and gear housing to fit specific mounting configurations without compromising performance or requiring custom brackets.
+ Is the wireless remote included with the winch?

Yes, the SX12SR comes complete with both a wireless remote and a 12' wired remote that features an integrated lithium-ION rechargeable LED flashlight. This gives you multiple control options for different situations.
+ What colors is the SX12SR available in?

The Superwinch SX12SR is available in two premium finishes: black and graphite. Both feature a durable metallic graphite powder coat finish that provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains its appearance through tough use.
