Let customers speak for us
from 21 reviewsSherpa was a pleasure to deal with. The winch arrived promptly and was as described. Installation took a few hours but all the parts are in the kit and the instructions are informative. Yes I would recommend this winch to others looking to replace manual crank winches.
High quality winch in the 12000lb range. Delivery time was reasonable too.
These winches are awesome! Fast line speeds, huge HP on the drives and the weights are reasonable for the performance so no suspesnion changes required. Good work!
Good quality remote. Works to at least 80ft. Recommended with any winch for easy of use and lets you stand well clear of the cable when winching.
Had the 9500lb winch on a Hilux for about 2 months now. Multiple line pulls with ease and doesn't heat up like the Warn. Looks quality and time will tell.
Great air compressor kit. Delivered promptly. Just as described.
Great quality winch! Nice fit on a 90 Series Defender.
My only regret with this winch is not buying it years ago. Would be very hard to go back to manual winch. Highly recommend.
Good line speed and heaps of grunt. Matches the specs on a lot of high performance high mount winches but half the size and less prone to damage.
I'd recommend this air compressor for bigger offroad tyres. Flow rate and inflation time is impressive. Probably overkill for regular 4x4 tyres under 31 inches. Very sturdy and can be foot mounted in position if required.
Quality winch. Fits Yamaha YFM without issue.
What a beast! Used to move empty shipping containers. Motor barely gets warm. Very happy with this winch.
Took about a week to be delivered but worth it. Good speed and smooth retreival. Would be hard to go back to a manual hand crank winch after using these.
Delivery was quick. Very nice looking winch. Will provide a more extensive review once installed and used a few times.
