Westin MAX Winch Tray is designed for customers who want to add serious winch mounting capability to compatible trucks and SUVs without replacing the entire front bumper. This vehicle-specific tray creates a strong front-end foundation for a properly selected recovery winch, helping customers build a more functional recovery setup for work, towing support, off-road driving, overlanding, mud, snow, sand, and difficult terrain.
This product is a winch mounting tray, not a complete winch. It gives compatible vehicles a sturdy platform for mounting most major brand medium-frame winches when paired with the correct vehicle-specific tray, winch, fairlead, wiring, and recovery accessories. For customers who want recovery capability while maintaining more of the factory front-end appearance, the MAX Winch Tray is a practical upgrade.
Westin constructs the MAX Winch Tray from heavy-weight steel to support demanding recovery-focused use. The tray mounts directly to the vehicle frame on confirmed applications, helping create the strength needed for properly rated winching equipment. This frame-mounted design makes the tray a strong choice for customers who want dependable front-end recovery utility instead of appearance-only accessories.
The tray is pre-drilled for easier bolt-on mounting of a compatible winch and roller fairlead. This helps simplify setup and alignment during installation while giving customers a cleaner path to add recovery equipment. The winch and roller fairlead are not included, allowing customers to choose the preferred winch model, line type, fairlead style, and recovery accessories for the vehicle.
The MAX Winch Tray is rated for line pull up to 16,500 lbs. on confirmed applications, making it suitable for properly selected medium-frame winches and recovery setups. Customers should always match the winch, tray, frame mounting points, recovery points, shackles, straps, fairlead, hook, rope, cable, and vehicle weight to the intended use. All recovery components must be rated appropriately and used within their limits.
Each tray features openings for two Westin MAX Tow Hooks, which are sold individually. These tow hook openings give customers a path to build a more complete recovery setup with clevis hook anchoring points. Optional related accessories, including a MAX Bull Bar and Winch Tray License Plate Relocator, may also be available depending on the selected application and installation needs.
Whether customers are upgrading for trail recovery, work use, towing support, overland travel, mud, snow, remote routes, or a more complete front-end utility package, Westin MAX Winch Tray delivers heavy-duty steel construction, frame-mounted strength, and practical winch-ready capability.
