Winches

How to choose a winch for your KGM Musso

Pulling capacity

Pulling capacity is chosen based on the weight of the loaded vehicle. A common rule is that the rated capacity should exceed this weight, leaving a reserve for situations where the vehicle is stuck deep or on a slope. Compare the specifications on the product pages before choosing.

Steel rope or synthetic rope

Steel rope handles abrasion and heavy use well but is heavier. Synthetic rope is lighter and easier to handle, but needs more care around sharp edges. Spare parts and accessories are chosen by winch model rather than by vehicle.

The mounting plate

The winch is fixed to a mount that is compatible with the vehicle and the winch dimensions. Check that the mount fits your front bumper and any equipment already installed. All winch categories for this model, including mounts and accessories, are in the KGM Musso winches section.

Frequently asked questions

Does the winch come with a mount?

Usually not. The mount is ordered separately, depending on the vehicle and the winch model. Check the product page to see what the package includes.

Steel or synthetic rope?

It depends on how you use the winch. Steel rope is a common choice for heavy use on abrasive terrain, while synthetic rope suits those who want lower weight and easier handling.

Does a winch affect the vehicle's systems?

An electric winch is powered by the vehicle battery, and fitting includes electrical connections. Check the winch specifications and talk to us before fitting about any equipment already installed on the vehicle.
