Closer Look
The second-generation COVERT winch delivers advanced design, robust performance, and fast line speeds in a simple-to-fit package. Developed and tested in Australia, it features a unique built-in motor control unit, eliminating the need for an external control box for durable, unobtrusive installation.
Designed in Australia and built with top-tier components, the COVERT winch is engineered for optimum strength and resilience. It demonstrates proven reliability and durability even in the harshest environments. The compact, synergistic design delivers fast line speeds and lower current draw, with enhanced motor efficiency from its Albright Industries-built control unit, matched to a finely tuned motor and 4-stage gearbox.
The Bushranger COVERT winch revolutionises winch technology with its enhanced built-in control unit, ensuring compatibility with a wider range of modern vehicle bull bars. The design eliminates the need for a conventional control box, allowing an unobtrusive fitment that does not interfere with cooling system airflow or vehicle sensors. This provides a more versatile, covert look.
Engineered and proven in Australia, the highest quality components and rigorous test methods ensure reliability and longevity within the harshest environments.
The built-in motor control unit integrates a direct bus bar connection to an enhanced Albright contactor, offering built-in low-current fuse circuit protection, an integrated wiring harness, secured wiring, and upgraded connectors to deliver increased motor efficiency and durability.
The tuned 5.3HP 12V motor is a purpose-built series-wound unit that powers the 4-stage gearbox, resulting in faster line speeds at lower current draws.
The 4-stage gearbox with a 171:1 ratio features hardened steel gearing for improved load distribution, maximum strength, and durability.
The zero drag braking system uses a gearbox-mounted brake that provides 100% load holding and the capacity for powered unspooling, under no load, without any damage to the winch.
The easy turn clutch handle with a 90-degree throw is simple to operate, especially in tighter fitment locations.
The robust construction includes lightweight aluminium alloy housings and a one-piece bridging plate that are structurally designed and finished with a durable pretreated satin powder coat.
Quick and easy fitment is enabled by multiple mounting options; the versatile COVERT winch is prewired and has preset clutch positioning to suit most common bull bars.
Dual connection 2.4GHz wireless control delivers increased reliability with greater wireless range through a secure 2.4GHz wireless remote and a resin-encapsulated IP68-rated receiver, offering a stronger wireless signal with up to 40m range, plus a 5m cable for a direct wired connection.
The power isolation switch is a standard inclusion, rated at 500 amps and supplied with multiple universal mounting brackets, a stainless lanyard, and a dust cover.
The high spec powder coat is a premium-grade Akzo-Nobel Satin Black finish that enables a high level of UV resistance and long-term durability.
Additional covert touches include black zinc-nickel stainless fasteners, black-on-black graphics, a textured clutch handle, and endcap infills that add subtle visual appeal.
