4WD Winches by Sherpa

Designed from the Top Down – Built to Handle Anything

At Sherpa 4x4, our winch range is designed and specified in-house by our own engineers. Unlike many other brands, we started at the very top — developing The Mule, our dual-motor 17,000lb winch built for heavy-duty vehicles like the Iveco Daily and Mitsubishi Canter.

By engineering the biggest and toughest first, every Sherpa winch in the range inherits the same uncompromising quality, strength and reliability. This top-down approach means whether you’re fitting out a work truck or a weekend 4WD, your Sherpa winch is built to withstand the harshest conditions and toughest recoveries.

From The Mule to our mid-range models, Sherpa 4x4 winches are proven to handle whatever you and the outback can throw at them.

Sherpa Designed & Tested 

Built from the Ground Up

Every Sherpa 4x4 winch begins life with extensive 3D modelling and precision engineering by our in-house team. This commitment to design excellence ensures each model delivers unmatched strength, reliability and performance in real-world conditions.

4WD Winch Options – Find the Perfect Match for Your Vehicle

Sherpa 4x4 offers a wide range of winches to suit every four-wheel drive and recovery application. With multiple configurations available, it’s easy to choose the right model for your needs.

Start by considering your pulling power requirements:

• Light 4WDs & General Off-Roading – Our 9,500lb and 12,000lb winches are ideal for most recreational users. The compact 9,500lb model fits almost all bullbar styles, including ARB and TJM bars.

• Heavier 4WDs – For vehicles such as LandCruisers, Patrols and large American 4x4s like Ford and Dodge, step up to our 17,000lb winches. While slightly larger, most winch bars provide ample space for easy fitting.

• Trucks, Competition Vehicles & Heavy Loads – Our dual-motor winches are built for extreme pulling power. Perfect for trucks, heavily modified 4WDs, or towing applications like caravans, these winches spread the load over two motors to improve duty cycles, reduce strain on drives and solenoids, and provide redundancy even if one drive or solenoid fails, the other keeps you moving.

With Sherpa 4x4 winches, you can be confident you’ve chosen a model built for your vehicle, your adventures and the toughest recovery situations.

Synthetic Rope or Steel Cable – The Choice is Yours

When choosing your Sherpa 4x4 winch, you can select either synthetic rope or steel cable to best suit your needs.

Why most customers choose synthetic rope:

• Lightweight and easy to handle

• Floats on water and won’t kink or coil back on itself

• Comparable breaking strain to steel cable

• Safer and easier to use in demanding off-road conditions

Although synthetic rope is more expensive, its ease of use and safety benefits make it the most popular option, with over 90% of Sherpa customers choosing it for their winches.

Fairlead Options & Rope Lengths
Depending on your choice of rope or cable, your Sherpa winch will be supplied with either a roller fairlead or a winch hawse (30 mm offset hawse available on request). Rope lengths are available in 28 m or 45 m options please note the 45 m rope requires a slightly larger barrel and winch mounting base than the 28 m version.

24 Volt Options
Sherpa 4x4 offers all winch combinations in 24 volt! Our Brisbane team assembles winches with 24V drives and solenoids on demand, so please allow a few extra working days for delivery.
