Winches
& Recovery

ATV winches, tow straps, shackles, pulleys, compressors and traction aids turn a difficult trail situation into a problem you are better prepared to solve—whether your quad is buried in mud, stopped by snow or short on traction.

Prepared Before You Need It

Build a recovery system, not just a gear bag.

A winch is only one part of ATV recovery. The mount, rope or cable, fairlead, connection points and rigging accessories all need to work together. A compressor, tire tools and traction aids can sometimes solve the problem before a powered pull is needed.

Compatibility tip: Confirm the winch and mounting plate fit your exact ATV, and make sure every strap, shackle, pulley and connection point is properly rated for its intended use.

Synthetic Rope, Cable & Fairleads

Synthetic rope and steel cable have different handling, inspection and maintenance needs. The matching fairlead helps guide the line onto the drum, while stoppers and protective sleeves manage everyday wear.

Tow Straps & Recovery Ropes

Tow straps, recovery ropes, extension straps and tree-saver straps serve different pulling and anchoring jobs. Material, stretch, length, end design and rated capacity determine where each belongs.

Shackles, Hooks & Recovery Points

Rated shackles and purpose-built recovery points create secure connections between the ATV, winch line, strap and anchor. Soft shackles reduce metal hardware in some setups, while steel shackles suit others.

Snatch Blocks & Rigging Accessories

Pulley blocks and winch rings can redirect a pull or change the line arrangement. Dampers, gloves, extensions and rigging storage help keep the supporting equipment organized and ready.

Air Compressors & Tire Recovery

Portable compressors, gauges, deflators and repair supplies help riders manage tire pressure and common punctures. They are especially useful when pressure has been adjusted for soft terrain.

Before the Line Tightens

Plan the pull and control the recovery area.

01

Assess before rigging

Stop, examine the terrain and identify secure, properly rated connection points before attaching recovery equipment or powering the winch.

02

Match the entire system

Use compatible, properly rated components and follow the instructions supplied with the ATV, winch, mount, line and recovery accessories.

03

Protect the recovery zone

Wear appropriate protective gear, keep bystanders clear and inspect the line, straps, hardware and anchor points before applying tension.
