13500lb Synthetic Rope Winch 12V Waterproof Electric Winch,2 in 1 Wireless Remote Control, for SUV, Truck & Trailer - TANK Series

Everything went smoothly. The product was shipped quickly, and the seller was very attentive and kind. The product has been very useful to me. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. A must-have for your vehicle!

20 k winch this is a 11,500 pound machine completely dead (track machine ) will buy it again with out any doubt super happy with this product easy to install did the whole thing on n about 3 hours including welding , 1inch plate and the base for the battery box highly recommend Thanks

This is a nice looking winch at a great price point. Installation was easy and it seems to work fine though I have yet to use it for any significant recoveries and such. My one complaint is the manual. It is a great looking manual but it does not have any installation instructions other than where the electrical connections go. There is also nothing in the manual about how to use/charge the remote control. Also, it appears that Rugcel does not have a website, strange these days.

I purchased this winch about 6 months ago for placement on a 20 foot gooseneck trailer. The old winch was shot but I had the mounting brackets. I bought a new steel plate to reinforce the connection and drilled some new holes for mounting. I have pulled up 4 vehicles all of which had badly rusted wheels to the point they didn't roll. I drug those vehicles up onto the trailer with this winch. Yes, I had to give it a rest quite a few times, but it did the job eventually. I also pulled up a 12,000 lb tractor. I do have two heavy duty deep cell batteries hooked together as the power supply. Highly recommend!

So I installed this winch (13.5K) on a front hitch mount on my 2020 F350 SD - everything looks good and functions properly - the winch by all appearances seems to be very tough and well made. My test pull was just done in the driveway and not in an actual off-road situation, so take that for what it is worth. I ordered my unit with a steel cable as it will be stored in my truck bed under a metal roll-up cover and I don't want a synthetic cable that will deteriorate with the heat build-up in the bed. As far as the cons there were a few but they are minor...(1) the 4 holes on the control box that sits at the top of the unit did not line up and had to be drilled out with a slightly larger bit which is something they should just do from the get go at the factory. (2) the battery cables need to be a bit longer as they barely reach the trucks batteries - I have dual batteries and had to run the positive to one side and the negative to the battery on the opposite side of the truck as both cables would not reach a single battery - another 2-3 feet of cable would be nice and would make for a cleaner lay-out and allow for closing the hood and actually being able to drive while the winch is mounted on the front hitch - for this reason alone I will only give it 4 stars instead of 5. (3) it would also be nice to have a pair of clamps to allow quick attachment to the battery rather than having to screw the cables to the battery terminal posts. SO RUGCEL IF YOU ARE LISTENING - add clamps and some extra wire and you just solved #2 and #3 above at the same time. Basically I have done this myself with readily available parts but it should have come this way from the factory.

This is for the NEW RUGCEL WINCH 13500lb Waterproof Electric Synthetic Rope Winch 12V with Hawse Fairlead, 2 in 1 Wireless Remote,Double color rope. The 1st thing I noticed right away was how well packaged this winch came and how much visually the packaging looked to the Badlands Apex. Having owned an Apex, I immediately knew who they were competing with. That is also where the comparison ended. From appearance only; I prefer the TANK! It’s about 3” smaller in length and a little lighter (not much). The dual color rope is very nice and thicker than the Apex synthetic rope (at least it appears to be). The winch is also slimmer and shorter than the Apex and visually appears sealed up like the Apex. The TANKs wires and control box are also very nicely done. The thermal protective sleeves on the TANK was a nice touch for sure and should also reduce weathering of the cables. I did unwind all the synthetic rope and “stretch” it while rewinding. I did notice the Tank and Apex motors were equally “winch-loud”. The Tanks speed seems to be faster and winding felt more controlled. For about $150 less than a Badlands Apex; you can get the Rugcel Tank. I definitely recommend from first glance as I haven’t torture tested the Tank yet like I have the Apex. The Apex is a 10 out of 10 highly recommend but I have no doubt the Tank will also earn that recommendation. Reminder: the reason most of these “cheap” winches fail is improper install, vehicle weight, utilization, and post trail care. For the “fan boys”, I’ve seen Warn’s fail too. For most folks, a $400 winch will do the job when you need it, especially with these new IP68/69 options. Just for good measure Warn is also a Chinese sourced half “Assembled in America” with domestic and imported parts winch; only you’ll spend 2-5x for it.

Just installed, looks to be well made. I have operated to make sure it works. Instructions not great but provided. Installed of 2025 JL Rubicon X had steel bumpers but will need to purchase a mounting plate, I went with RC which fits great. Will see how she does out on the trail.

I do a lot of off-roading, which means getting stuck in mud is almost guaranteed sooner or later. My friends always laugh when it happens, but since I got this winch I don’t stress anymore. It’s strong, quick, and really steady. What surprised me most is how quiet it runs. Unlike other winches that squeak and grind, this one works so smoothly it feels effortless. The waterproof design is another big plus. I once got caught in heavy rain and ended up buried in a muddy pit. The winch was completely soaked, and I honestly thought it might fail. Instead, it powered through like nothing had happened and pulled my car out with no trouble at all. That gave me a lot of confidence in its reliability. Now I don’t hesitate to take on tougher tracks. This winch has turned those frustrating moments into just another part of the adventure. If you spend time off-road, it’s the kind of gear that makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.

Buenas tardes tengo problema no tiene fuerza ya habia tenido uno de la misma marca y nada que ver

Winch works great used it a couple times to unload cars off a trailer holds weight pulls it no problem. Cheap winch I’ll be buying more for future projects 👍🏻 Don’t worry about name brand winches…Look into information Warn and all those upper quality are all made in China now so it’s not worth the sticker price. This works just fine comes with all you need to mount and bolt up I did it in 45 mins. Wireless controller has good range too came with extra batteries as well 👍🏻👍🏻

Works great, nice build and a decent hook! Easy to hook up and the included wired/wireless remote is simple to use and built well! Winch is reasonably quick and feels solid. Highly recommended for the price!

I still have to use this under load as I haven’t mounted the unit yet but it did arrive as advertised and everything was included. I did however hook it up and function tested without issue, all things worked including the remote. The unit surprisingly is well built and looks great and unlike some other cheap brands all the labels are correct. Impressed on the quality for price to date and will update after I have it installed and under load.
