KFI TigerTail Retractable Towing System – 12,000 lb Tow Rope for ATV / UTV – Made in USA

OVERVIEW

The KFI TigerTail is designed for rapid trail recovery, heavy-duty utility work, and secure vehicle anchoring on modern UTV platforms. Constructed around a shot-blasted steel housing and a coated steel cable, this fully retractable towing system delivers immediate pulling power without relying on hydraulic or electrical systems. Engineered specifically for side-by-side chassis integration, it mounts directly to your frame for reliable field performance.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

A constant-tension retraction mechanism automatically rewinds the line after deployment, preventing tangles and keeping the recovery path clear during stressful extractions. The internal mechanics are housed within a sealed casing that withstands impact damage and harsh weather exposure while undergoing rigorous cycling validation. Rated for over 14,000 operating cycles, the purely mechanical architecture eliminates wiring harnesses and electronic control modules that typically fail in mud or freezing conditions. Self-contained internal linings and a field-serviceable drive assembly ensure consistent engagement across demanding off-road work cycles.
