Closer Look

The Bushranger Covert Winch is an innovative recovery system designed for seamless and unobtrusive installation, completely concealing the control box for a clean, integrated look. It's the ideal choice for adventurers seeking a powerful recovery system without the traditional, bulky externally-mounted control unit.

The Covert achieves its unique design through a fully integrated Motor Control Unit, which incorporates a high-efficiency Albright contactor directly connected to the motor. This synergistic design not only creates a more compact and versatile fitment but also improves motor efficiency and simplifies installation. Engineered for 12V systems, it offers a robust 12,000lb (5443kg) capacity.

Proven in Australia, the Covert features a powerful series-wound motor, a robust 4-stage gearbox, and a zero-drag braking system for 100% load holding. It comes equipped with 24 metres of 11mm diameter synthetic rope, providing reliable and safe recovery. The tough aluminium alloy housings, finished in a durable powder-coated black, ensure rugged durability. With an IP68 protection rating and dual-connection remote options (wireless/rechargeable and plug-in), this winch delivers high performance in a sleek, low-profile package, backed by a 7-year warranty.
