3500 lbs 12V Electric Winch Complete Kit with Cable Guide

3500 lb electric winch: the only one delivered ready to install, hawse fairlead included

The classic bad surprise with a 12V electric winch bought online is the half-empty box: the winch only, and everything else to order separately. This ZUIMI EW-3500 takes the opposite approach. In the box: the 3500 lb winch, its hawse fairlead, the hook, the mounting plate, the wired control box, the remote switch, the hardware, and the manual. You open it, bolt it on, and wire it up. It's a complete 4x4 electric winch, not a kit to complete.

What the EW-3500 really does: focus on the advertised figures

Let's be precise, because this model is sold under several labels. The manufacturer's data sheet describes an EW-3500 winch rated for 3,500 lb in single line, powered by a 1.1 kW (about 1.47 hp) permanent magnet motor running on 12 volts. Some listings show 12,000 lb: this figure does not match any data in the manufacturer's data sheet and we do not carry it. The figure to remember is 3,500 lb in direct pull, or about 1,590 kg, which is more than enough for loading a car onto a flatbed or recovering a SUV bogged down in mud on firm ground.

Three-stage planetary gearbox and 15 meters of steel cable

The transmission is a three-stage planetary gear train: three successive reductions, so high torque at the drum and a motor that stays in its comfortable range during long pulls. The drum receives a 5.4 mm steel cable over 15 meters, a generous length that avoids having to bring the vehicle closer to the anchor point. The cam clutch allows the drum to be disengaged to pay out the cable by hand, without wearing out the motor, and a limit switch protects the end of the winding. A real off-road recovery winch, in a block of 330 x 123 x 128 mm.

• Complete kit delivered — hawse fairlead, hook, mounting plate, hardware, and manual included.
• Dual control — wired control box and remote switch supplied together, not to choose from.
• 15-meter steel cable — one of the longest lengths in our winch range.
• 1.1 kW permanent magnet motor — three-stage planetary gearbox for constant effort.
• Cam clutch — drum disengagement to pay out the cable by hand.
• Standard 76.2 x 124 mm center-to-center — compatible with common winch plates.

Installing this ZUIMI winch on a 4x4, pickup, or trailer

The advertised mounting center-to-center is 76.2 x 124 mm, a standard found on most universal plates. The winch is fixed at the front on a bracket attached to the frame rails, on the drawbar of a car carrier trailer, or on a removable plate slid into a hitch receiver. On the electrical side, the motor and battery cables supplied measure 1.83 m and the control cable 3 m: plan for heavy-gauge extensions if your battery is far away, and a properly sized circuit breaker. The installation of a 12V electric winch cannot be improvised on the wiring side, even when the mechanics are simple.

Why a hawse fairlead instead of a roller fairlead?

The fairlead supplied is a hawse type: a solid piece, with no moving parts, through which the cable slides. It is lighter, more compact, does not seize up with dried mud, and respects synthetic ropes better if you decide later to replace the steel cable. The roller fairlead, on the other hand, reduces friction slightly in very oblique pulls, but adds four bearings to maintain. For occasional electric winch with wireless remote control use, the hawse is the right compromise.

Our criteria when we select a winch at Becquet Voiture

We look at three things before listing a winch reference: the actual cable length, the exact contents of the box, and the consistency of the advertised figures. This reference ticks all three, and it is the one we recommend to anyone who wants a 12V 4x4 electric winch ready to install without additional control.

One box, and your vehicle is equipped: winch, fairlead, hook, and controls, everything is inside.
