The Carbon Offroad TANK 12000lb electric winch is a force to be reckoned with. 

 

A new generation of winches joins the Carbon Offroad offer. TANK is synonymous for indestructible, bulletproof and powerful, which is just what this winch is. TANK is also associated with heavy, which is something this winch is not! 

We understand that building the ultimate offroad rig often requires a lot of time, effort and additional parts once it comes off the factory floor, and this all adds weight. The capability to self recover a vehicle is generally high on the list of priorities for most overlanding and touring journey people, as most of the time, solo travel is the reality. In the past, this generally required a winch with steel cable and a heavy steel bullbar to carry it, but in todays market, there are smarter options and this includes the winches. Yes you can still buy a cheap heavy winch made from castings of solid steel if you like that sort of thing, but technology has improved, materials have improved and this has led to a winch being designed and built like the TANK. Billet alloys machined on CNC mills, Alloy castings make up the gearbox housings and main frames of the winch, critical components such as the winch drum are still made from steel, but this winch also features an aesthetic quality that is almost unmatched in the market. If you truly appreciate good design, the TANK will impress with it's sexy lines, solid cast alloy control box and solid alloy fairlead. 

One of the most notable requirements of modern winches is that a winch must be waterproof. The TANK winch features a system unseen before in the winch market. The winch motor and drum frame mount are assembled as one unit at the factory, then it undergoes real life pressure leak testing to 20PSI on a custom made jig specially designed for this test, simulating the same pressure as a depth of 14 metres underwater!  It must pass this test before moving further down the assembly line. We guarantee this winch will not see water out of the box. 

Aside from the motor side, the gearbox housing also features a two stage mechanical and rubber o-ring sealing system which will ensure that part of the winch is also 100% sealed from water ingress to IP69K levels. 

Other functions of the winch remain similar to our other winches, utilising a rotating ring gear free spool clutch assembly, 3 stage planetary gear train made from solid cut and hardened gear steel, with the gear train being oversize and similar to our Scout Pro Extreme Duty winches. It also features a gear train connected braking system which mitigates any heat build up on the drum which could cause damage to the winch rope. 

The control box can be mounted over the drum directly into the  threaded holes in the tie bars or over the motor with supplied mounting brackets, it can also be mounted remotely flush onto a bar or there is an optional remote mounting bracket available separately.

Warranty Form

How to apply for a warranty:

Contact the seller of your Carbon Winch to discuss the problem. If your seller deems that the issue with the winch cannot be addressed other than through a warranty claim, the seller is required to contact Carbon Winches Australia on behalf of the user. Carbon Winches Australia will attempt to identify if the issue can be resolved without seeing the components in question, or may ask for additional proof such as images or video. If it is deemed that the winch or components are required to be sent back to Carbon Winches Australia, the customer is to make arrangements to return them to our location at their expense. Once the winch has been returned along with a copy of proof of purchase, Carbon Winches Australia will assess the warranty claim and provide feedback on a successful or unsuccessful claim. The winch will be repaired and then arranged to be sent back to the customer. If the work is covered under warranty Carbon Winches Australia will bear the return shipping cost. If not, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Protecting your winch from water ingress:

There are no conditions on maintaining your IP Warranty. However we would like you to understand the following information about your winch to get the best out of it in the long term.

The rubber lip seals on the winch rope drum are a wear item, they are subject to exposure to the elements and abrasive materials such as mud, sand, salt, dirt and other environmental contaminants and will wear out with use of your winch.

We recommend you replace the drum lip seals every 12 months or as often as you feel necessary dependant on the use of your winch. These are available for sale on the website.

This will ensure that your winch maintains its high standard of waterproofing and provide you with years of hassle free operation. 

We highly recommend you download and read the maintenance and first use guideline document before installing and operating your winch.
