Full-size UTVs and side-by-sides carry cargo, passengers and accessories that push a recovery load well past what an ATV-class winch was built to handle. The JEGS 555-80378 answers that with 5,500 lb of rated single-line pull, a 1.8 HP permanent magnet 12-volt motor and a 198:1 differential planetary gearset - a deeper reduction than the 153:1 units used on the smaller winches in this family, which is how it holds a heavier load under control instead of stalling against it. The drum carries 1/4 in. x 50 ft. of synthetic rope, giving both the working length to reach a distant anchor and the diameter to match the higher pull rating.

JEGS 555-80378 5,500 lb UTV and Side-by-Side Winch Features:

• Fits UTVs, side-by-sides and small SUVs
• 5,500 lb rated single-line pull, rated on the first rope layer on the drum
• 1.8 HP permanent magnet 12V DC motor for heavier intermittent recovery work
• 198:1 differential planetary gearing provides deeper reduction for high-load pulls
• Automatic spring brake holds the load in place when the winch stops pulling
• 1/4 in. x 50 ft. synthetic rope on a 2.00 in. x 4.45 in. drum adds reach for anchoring well off the trail
• Synthetic line is lighter to handle, easier to respool and safer than wire rope under load
• Included hawse fairlead has a smooth, rounded rope opening that guides synthetic line onto the drum without the abrasion of steel rollers, and it keeps the rope aligned on angled pulls
• Free-spool clutch releases the drum so rope can be walked out by hand
• Powered in and powered out operation reels the rope in or out under motor control, even under load
• Factory-sealed gear box is packed with high-temperature lithium grease and requires no added lubrication
• IP67 rated, dust-tight and sealed against immersion up to 1 minute
• 4-hole 6.659 in. x 3 in. mounting bolt pattern, so common UTV and side-by-side mounting kits accept it
• Overall dimensions of 14.25 in. L x 4.25 in. W x 4.5 in. H
• Net weight of 26.5 lb

JEGS 555-80378 5,500 lb UTV and Side-by-Side Winch Notes:

• Mount on a flat surface so the motor, drum and gear housing stay aligned and the rated load spreads evenly across the mount
• Control module installs remotely rather than clamping to the winch body, so plan a location away from spray, mud and heat before wiring
• Requires a 12-volt vehicle electrical system; keep the engine running while winching to limit battery drain
• For loads above half the rated pull, use a snatch block to double the line and cut rope tension
• Snatch block and recovery shackles sold separately
