Will this fit my 4WD?
The EFS winch is designed to fit most bull bars that support a standard winch mounting pattern. Not sure if yours is compatible? Just send us your make, model, and bull bar details — we’ll confirm it for you.
Can I install it myself?
Yes – many 4WDers do. But for the best performance (and to avoid wiring headaches), we recommend using a certified 4WD accessories fitter.
Is it water resistant?
The motor and gearbox are fully sealed and water resistant, and it even includes a breather for added durability.
What’s the warranty?
This product comes with a 3-year warranty, available to the original purchaser under fair-use conditions. For full details, please see our warranty page.
Is it compatible with steel cable?
We don’t recommend replacing the synthetic rope with a steel cable. This winch is specifically designed for synthetic rope — switching to steel could cause damage to the drum or brake system and increase safety risks. For best performance and safety, stick with the included synthetic line.

our customers love our winches
The EFS Winch R13 has been a total game-changer for my setup. I’ve used it multiple times on tough tracks, and it hasn’t let me down once. Super reliable, powerful, and easy to use.

This winch has exceeded all expectations. I’ve tackled some pretty remote spots lately, and every time I’ve needed it, it delivered with zero fuss. It’s strong, fast, and gives me real peace of mind when I’m out on my own.
Emily S.

Solid performance and build quality. I’ve used a few different winches over the years, but this one stands out. Smooth operation, reliable under pressure, and looks great mounted up front too.
