KFI U45w‑R2 4500 lb Wide‑Spool UTV Winch Kit – Includes Steel Cable, Dash Switch, Remote & FREE Vehicle‑Specific Mount – Made in USA

OVERVIEW

The KFI U45w‑R2 delivers reliable recovery and utility towing power engineered specifically for trail navigation and property maintenance. This wide‑spool UTV winch kit pairs a heavy‑duty steel cable with sealed internal components and a water‑resistant contactor to maintain consistent operation across mud, snow, and dust. Designed explicitly for modern UTV platforms, it ships with a direct‑fit mounting bracket to streamline chassis integration.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

A 12V DC permanent magnet motor drives an all‑metal planetary gear train with a 166:1 ratio, delivering smooth line payout and steady torque during low‑speed pulls. Dynamic and mechanical braking paired with a cam‑activated freespool clutch provide precise load control and rapid rope retrieval without manual cranking. Water‑resistant sealing shields the gear cavity and motor from trail debris, while a heavy‑duty electric contactor isolates peak current draw from the OEM electrical system. Operators can command the unit via a dash‑mounted LED rocker switch or a 14‑foot handheld remote for flexible positioning during recovery tasks.

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Riders prefer the U45w‑R2 because its industrial gearing and fully sealed internal design sustain performance through repeated heavy loads without overheating or wire degradation. The wide spool architecture stacks cable tightly under tension, which minimizes line crossover and preserves full pulling authority during prolonged mud extractions or equipment hauling. Dual control options and a hardened contactor simplify daily operation while protecting delicate onboard electronics during sudden voltage spikes. Constructed with a direct‑bolt vehicle‑specific bracket, the kit aligns with factory chassis geometry to reduce fabrication time and deliver professional-grade reliability in utility, trail, and work environments.
