Supplied to order, fitted in Townsville

Hulk 4x4 Genesis winches.

Hulk 4x4's Genesis winches run from ATV and UTV sizes up to full-size 4WD recovery — 3,500lb to 12,500lb on synthetic rope, plus 2,000lb and 1,500lb steel-rope models for ATVs. They are ordered in for the job rather than held on the shelf, and fitted at the Townsville workshop — through Cairns they are supply only. Ring us with the vehicle and what it has to pull.

Our position

A winch is only as good as the electrical feeding it. Hulk's own figures for the two big recovery winches call for a battery of at least 650 CCA and a 50% duty cycle — 30 seconds pulling, 30 seconds cooling. The battery, the cabling and the charging system behind it are auto electrical work, and that is our trade.

What we carry

The Hulk 4x4 range, winches and power.

HG9500S and HG12500S recovery winches

Synthetic-rope recovery winches for full-size 4WDs, rated 9,500lb (4,309kg) and 12,500lb (5,669kg). Hulk list a 7.2hp wound motor on both, IP68 water and dust rating, a clockable gearbox and motor, a knurled drum for rope grip, and wireless and wired remotes.

HG3500S, HG4500S and HG6000S for ATVs and UTVs

Synthetic rope on 12V permanent magnet motors with planetary gearing, cam-activated free-spooling, and mechanical and dynamic braking. By Hulk's listing the 3,500lb carries 5mm x 15m rope and the 4,500lb 5.5mm x 15m.

HG2000 and HU1500 steel-rope ATV winches

Steel rope at 2,000lb (907kg) and 1,500lb (680kg) — the light-duty end, for ATV, UTV and trailer recovery tasks, as Hulk describe them.

Inverters and 12V power

Hulk 4x4 make more than winches. Hulk pure sine wave inverters, a 500W and a 2000W, are both in our own lithium fit-outs.

Worth knowing

The honest take.

Size a winch on its rated line pull against the vehicle it is going on, not on the biggest number in the range. Too small and it works at its limit every time it is used; too big and it is extra weight hanging off the front of the vehicle for no gain.

FAQ

Winches, answered.

What size winch do I need?+

The usual rule of thumb is a rated line pull of at least 1.5 times the vehicle's gross vehicle mass. Ring us with the vehicle and we will work through the range with you.

Synthetic or steel rope?+

Synthetic rope is lighter and stores less energy if it breaks, which is why it has largely taken over on recovery winches. Steel copes better with abrasion. In the Genesis range, everything from 3,500lb up is synthetic; the HG2000 and HU1500 are steel.

What battery does a Hulk winch need?+

For the HG9500S and HG12500S, Hulk specify a battery of at least 650 CCA. Their duty cycle on those two is 50% — 30 seconds on, 30 seconds to cool.

Do you fit Hulk winches?+

Yes, at the Townsville workshop. Through the Cairns branch they are supply only.

Do you keep Hulk winches in stock?+

They are ordered in for the job rather than held on the shelf. Ring us with the vehicle and the model you are after.
