Why Choose the Sherpa Colt?
12,000lb Rated Line Pull
The Colt provides a rated line pull of 12,000lb (5,443kg), giving it useful capacity for larger 4WD recovery applications.
Powerful 6.6hp Series-Wound Motor
A heavy-duty 6.6hp series-wound motor provides the torque required for demanding winching loads, with both 12V and 24V versions available.
3-Stage Planetary Gearbox
The 205:1 planetary gearbox converts motor speed into controlled pulling force while maintaining a compact overall winch design.
Gearbox-Mounted Automatic Brake
The Colt uses an automatic brake integrated into the gearbox rather than the drum. This helps reduce heat transfer into the drum, which is particularly useful when operating with synthetic rope.
IP68 Rated
The winch carries an IP68 ingress rating, providing a high level of protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed and maintained.
316 Stainless Steel Components
316 stainless steel fittings and cross members provide added corrosion resistance for demanding off-road environments.
Genuine Albright Heavy-Duty Solenoid
Every Colt winch is supplied with a genuine Albright International heavy-duty solenoid inside the control box.
The custom Albright contactor is rated to handle up to 800 amps, providing reliable switching under the high electrical loads associated with winching.

- Synthetic Rope: 28m of 9.5mm rope rated to 20,900lb, supplied with a polished aluminium hawse fairlead.
