Even experienced drivers can get stuck when it comes to driving in soft sand or bog. It is certainly not always about forgetting to lower tyre pressures, but this is when recovery tools such as winches shovels, and snatch straps come in handy for every off-road trip. Winches are lifesavers that are devices made of rope, chain, or a wire cable that is often wound around a winch drum. Zero Gauge Customs is a leading one-stop-shop for all your 4WD winch requirements. Be it for hauling, lifting, or adding more tension to the rope to release your vehicle from a bog, 4WD wheel drive winches help in recovering your vehicle efficiently without any hassles.

At Zero Gauge Customs, we provide high-quality 4WD wheel drive winches at the most cost-effective rates across Melbourne. 4WD winches are powered by an electric motor that is linked to your vehicle’s power steering pump or to the vehicle’s battery system, which permits the device to rotate the rope swiftly.

The following are the major components of a 4WD winch:

Motor: The motor is the most important component of a 4WD winch and is powered by electricity or hydraulics.

Solenoid: Solenoids could either be remote or integrated. Integrated solenoids that are integrated at the top of a 4WD winch are also called contractors. Solenoids are responsible for controlling the rotation of the drum in the 4WD winch.

Wire Rope or Cable: These can measure from 12 to 30 metres and is wound around the winch drum.

Winch Drum: The wire cable or rope is bound to the winch drum to protect it from damage while not in use. It moves around circularly when it requires to be wound around the rope.

Internal Brake: The internal brake is designed to maintain a stable load when the 4WD winch is stopped. It avoids any load from slipping back into the mud.

Gear Train: To pull the vehicle, the gear train helps in converting the electrical energy from the power source into mechanical energy via the motor to help pull the vehicle.

Free Spool Clutch: This is used to mount and dismount the winch drum from the gear train.

When budget is a major priority, a suspension upgrade (that requires the incorporation of a lift in ground clearance), and a set of all-terrain tyres are upgrades that will require a winch recovery. When you purchase your new winch power kit, the following are the key components:

A tree protection strap that will help you use an anchor instead of damaging the winch wire.
A pulley block that can help you lessen the load on the winch or improve its pulling power.
Heavy-duty gloves
Shackles to safely connect components together
Called ‘finger savers’, these are used to feed the wire onto the spoon as it looks like a small piece of bent rod that will save your fingers from getting pulled through the fairlead.

Other components required apart from the winch kit are as follows:

The Wire Dampener: There is an urgent need for a blanket or a heavy coat to lie over the wire to save it from breaking. If the wire breaks from extreme tension, the heavy object dampens down the wire and stops it from flying around.
Quality Electrical Supply: Most 4x4 vehicles require a 4WD winch that can pull safely up to 3 to 4 tonnes. An electric motor that must perform this task requires a huge reserve of power from a battery. In such cases, you may require adding a second battery, associated heavy-duty wiring, and a dual battery switch.
An Accessory to Mount On: 4WD winches require a strong mounting point and bolting it up to the bull bar is the most common technique for a 4WD vehicle.
