Portable Winch 12V DC Electric Utility winch,4500lb/2041kg Single Line Pull with Steel Mounting Plate, Integrated Hawse Fairlead and Synthetic Rope,Infrared remote control,atv utv winch

After comparing several portable winches in the same category, I chose the RUGCEL 4500LB. It offers a well-balanced combination of price, features, and build quality, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Its biggest advantage is that it doesn’t require permanent installation—just store it in the trunk and take it out whenever needed. This makes it ideal for ATVs, UTVs, boat trailers, and equipment towing. The winch is housed in a durable toolbox, which makes carrying and storage very convenient. The synthetic rope runs smoothly with plenty of pulling power, fully meeting everyday towing needs in real-world use. The accessories are comprehensive, so it’s essentially ready to use right out of the box. Both the wired and wireless remote controls work very well, are easy to operate, and provide a strong sense of safety. Overall, this is a highly practical and reliable portable winch.

Works great. Seems like good quality construction

This is a great, portable design. Very useful and I highly recommend it. One thing I will fix is that the power cables do not fit snugly. Other than that, great.

Product works as described. 1st use was to pull a Ford Ranger onto a U-Haul Xar Hauler double axle trailer. I lined up the trailer with the truck, connected the provided power cables to a 20’ long set of jumper cables to hook up to my F150s battery and then using the power button unreeled the hook and line. I made sure the wench was properly secured to the front of the trailer and began pulling the truck in neutral up onto the trailer. My son steered it while I controlled the wench. 1st use was a success. If I were to critique this product, I would say that the box that houses the winch needs to have more room inside to fit a 30 foot long set of jumper cables to power the wench from the front of a truck to the back where a trailer is… it comes with about 6’ which is way to short and not practical in my 1st use case…

The winch damaged the rope the first time I used it. I discovered that it was because the item was not provided with a rope guide as it is supposed to be. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that every unit has a quality check done so they wouldn't provide me a rope guide. In the end I had to pay for a rope guide that should have been supplied with the winch AND buy a new rope because mine was damaged due to lack of manufacturer shipping with a rope guide. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to use it within the return window or I would have just returned it. Not happy with this customer service or manufacturer.

This thing is versatile and extremely useful. I ordered the cable extensions to run from my truck battery back to the trailer to haul a car up on with it. The remote makes use a breeze. The self contained box makes keeping it all together even easier.

It came in handy with alligator hunting, and i must say, it saved my back pulling in an 11ft gator!!!!!

Have owned it for less than a year, the winch works well but the cases that it is installed in is cheaply made and flimsy. I would have happily paid more for a quality case. The only reason to buy a winch like this is for the case. I watched several videos fron the manufacturer and in those the early or prototype cases look to be much higher quality. But after they go into production they cut corners to reduce cost.

Buena atencion i buen producto. Gràcias

Great product

Neat and tidy kit. BUT! Even with the anchor straps middled (half the length) the power leads won’t reach the vehicle battery for self recovery setup. Why?!!! Disappointed that the day after I ordered it, the price was significantly dropped. Be nice to be offered the difference as a refund. I see the price is now sitting at this much lower price point. So, once I make up an extension lead to reach the battery, I intend using a Spanish Burton pulley rig, to gain an 8T pulling capacity (while at 1/4 of the pace). My adventuring style is low risk, however, this kit gives me a safe guard for self recovery should an unexpected event happen. Plus, I don’t want to spend $6K for a bar & winch and constantly carry that weight, plus I want a gentlemanly look to my 4x4, this kit will hide discreetly in the back, only when planned adventuring.

Seems plenty strong I'd say its accurately rated. I really love the case, I leave the line spooled out and just put it in the case for quick set up and quick cleanup after. No need to spool it in every use.

Met expectations and saved my a$$ twice already. Although power input should be a bit more durable and or made into a waterproof plug-in go as it ripped out on first use and needed rk be modified... Other than that it did the trick. I recommend buying your own snach block pully.. the one supplied is prone to pinching synthetic cable.
