The Black Horse 12K Synthetic Rope Winch is built for serious recovery situations, delivering the power and durability needed for trucks, SUVs, and off-road rigs. Designed for heavy-duty use, it provides reliable pulling strength for everything from trail recovery to jobsite applications.
At its core is a 6.0 HP series-wound motor paired with a 3-stage planetary gear system (218:1 ratio), delivering strong, consistent pulling power under load. The 12,000 lb capacity makes it ideal for full-size trucks and larger off-road vehicles, giving you confidence in demanding conditions.
This winch features a synthetic rope (25/64" x 79 ft), which is lighter, safer, and easier to handle than traditional steel cable while still maintaining high strength. It also includes an aluminum hawse fairlead and clevis hook, ensuring smooth operation and durability.
Built for real-world conditions, the winch is IP68-rated waterproof, protecting internal components from water, mud, and debris. It also comes with both wired and wireless remote controls, allowing flexible operation whether you're inside or outside the vehicle.
With line speeds of approximately 31.2 ft/min (no load) and 5.2 ft/min (full load), this winch balances speed and power for efficient recovery operations.
Whether you're overlanding, working in tough environments, or preparing for emergency recovery, this winch delivers the strength, reliability, and features you need. Now Available at LEER!
