Sherpa 4x4 Winch Anchor

Sherpa 4x4 Winch Anchor

The Sherpa 4x4 Winch Anchor provides a reliable recovery anchor point when there are no suitable trees or other natural anchor points within reach. Designed for off-road vehicle recovery, it can be used insand, mud, soil and gravel, making it a valuable addition to any serious 4WD recovery kit.

Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, the anchor features angled blades that are designed to dig progressively into the ground as winching force is applied. Once assembled, simply connect your winch hook to the supplied bow shackle to create an anchor point for vehicle recovery.

The folding design allows the anchor to pack down for easier transport and storage, with a carry bag and bow shackle included.
