4500 LBS KFI UTV Winch (Standard) #U45-R2 + FREE VEHICLE SPECIFIC WINCH MOUNT

OVERVIEW

The KFI U45‑R2 delivers reliable trail recovery and property utility pulling for a wide range of UTV models. This complete standard-spool winch package pairs a cast-aluminum winch body and 4500-lb rated steel cable with a free vehicle-specific frame mount for straightforward bolt-on installation.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

A 12V DC permanent magnet motor drives an all-metal planetary gear set at a 166:1 ratio, transferring smooth torque during sustained high-load pulls. Water-resistant seals protect the internal components while a heavy-duty electric contactor stabilizes voltage draw from the vehicle battery. Dynamic and mechanical braking coordinate with an all-metal cam-freespool clutch for precise line speed control and rapid disengagement in deep mud or frozen terrain.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Operators select this U45‑R2 kit because the metal gear train and dual braking mechanism provide predictable line speed when hauling stuck vehicles or clearing heavy brush. The combination of a dash rocker switch and a separate corded remote keeps operators out of hazardous terrain while maintaining full control over the drum. The included custom bracket aligns directly with factory frame rails, eliminating aftermarket welding, while the sealed contactor protects the starting circuit during peak electrical draw. Riders trusted on trails, work sites, and snow plowing crews rely on the quick-release clutch and moisture-sealed internals to perform consistently under repeated strain.
