The Stealth Winches 13V2S12 is designed for exactly these situations, offering the power and control you need to conquer any off-road challenge.

With a massive 13,500lb pulling capacity, it can effortlessly recover your vehicle from mud, sand, snow, or any other obstacle. This winch combines robust construction with user-friendly features like wireless remote control, making it a valuable tool for any adventurer.
Design Philosophy - Value and Performance
Stealth Winches are built on the principle of providing exceptional value without compromising performance. The 13V2S12 embodies this philosophy by offering high-end features like wireless control and a powerful motor at a competitive price point.
Pulling Capacity: 13,500lb of Raw Power
The 13V2S12 boasts an impressive 13,500lb pulling capacity, enough to recover even the heaviest trucks and SUVs. This is achieved through a combination of its powerful 6.1hp 12V motor and a high-efficiency gear system.
Understanding Winch Capacity: The pulling capacity of a winch is not simply about the motor’s power. It’s also influenced by the gear ratio, which determines the mechanical advantage. A higher gear ratio allows the winch to pull heavier loads with the same motor power. The 13V2S12’s gear system is optimized for maximum pulling power, ensuring you can tackle even the most demanding recovery situations.
Wireless Control: Freedom and Safety at Your Fingertips
One of the standout features of the 13V2S12 is its dual wireless remote controls. This allows you to operate the winch from a safe distance, away from the vehicle and potential hazards like the winch line or moving vehicle.
Why Wireless Matters: Traditional winches require you to be close to the winch itself, potentially exposing you to danger. With the 13V2S12’s wireless remotes, you can stand clear of the action and maintain full control. This is especially crucial in challenging off-road environments where safety is paramount.
Steel Cable: Strength and Durability for Demanding Tasks
The 13V2S12 comes equipped with a durable steel cable designed to withstand the rigors of off-road recovery. The steel cable offers excellent strength and abrasion resistance, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.
Cable Care Tip: While steel cables are strong, they require proper care to ensure longevity. Regular inspection for fraying or damage is crucial. Also, keeping the cable clean and lubricated will help prevent rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan.
Weatherproof Construction: Ready for Any Adventure
Whether you’re facing rain, snow, or mud, the 13V2S12 is built to perform. Its weatherproof design protects the internal components from the elements, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions.
Weatherproofing Explained: The 13V2S12 features sealed components and protective covers to prevent water and dust ingress. This ensures the motor, gearbox, and electrical system remain protected, even in harsh weather conditions.
Roller Fairlead: Smooth and Efficient Winching
The included roller fairlead helps guide the winch cable onto the drum, reducing friction and wear. This ensures smooth and efficient winching operations while minimizing damage to the cable.
The Importance of a Fairlead: A fairlead is a crucial component of any winch system. It prevents the cable from rubbing against the vehicle’s bumper or other surfaces, which can cause damage and reduce the cable’s lifespan. The roller fairlead on the 13V2S12 provides optimal cable guidance for smooth and safe operation.
Versatility: More Than Just Vehicle Recovery
While primarily designed for vehicle recovery, the 13V2S12 can be used for a variety of applications, including:
- Towing: Pulling trailers or other vehicles.
- Moving heavy objects: Loading and unloading equipment or supplies.
- Winching boats: Launching and retrieving boats from trailers.
