The Explorer2 is an excellent choice when it comes to the best electric winch for your on-road, Expedition, weekend trip or full spec off-road vehicle.
RED Winches has designed and developed this winch for serious use and it is just as happy on a road-going vehicle as it is on a fully equipped and prepared 4×4 / recovery truck.
All products at RED winches have been through an extensive design and testing program. With many of them having military testing behind them also. We do all this before going on sale so you can use all our winches with confidence, knowing they will not let you down.
This Explorer 2 has the famous RED Winch air brake system, meaning the winch stops instantly when you take your finger off the winch button.
The winch is controlled from a CNC machined black control box, that can be mounted on the winch or remotely in your engine bay or under your seat if you so wish. Remote mounting gives the winch a low profile appearance which is ideal for some winch bumpers or discrete mount options.

The drum is steel in construction, precision machined to run true and smoothly within its drum bearings. The drum runs between two drum seals (one each end), making the winch watertight and allowing the end-user to operate the winch underwater. The drum bearings are behind the drum seals and are free-running ball bearings, and filled with waterproof grease as an added second barrier from water ingress.
The drum can accept the following lengths and sizes of rope:
The Std drum can hold 30m of 11mm plasma or synthetic rope.
The Std drum can hold 25m of 12mm plasma or synthetic rope.
