Stainless Steel Winches

The best winch brand depends on your equipment compatibility, capacity needs, and application. Maxx Attachments manufactures skid steer-mounted hydraulic recovery winches proven in demanding conditions, including US Forest Service operations, offering reliable performance backed by decades of manufacturing experience since 1977.

Steel cable, as used in our Hydraulic Recovery Unit, offers superior abrasion resistance, heat tolerance, and durability for heavy-duty industrial and construction recovery work. Synthetic rope is lighter and safer to handle but less resistant to cuts and heat, making steel cable preferable for extreme-duty applications.

Our Hydraulic Recovery Unit is available in two capacity models: 9,000 lbs with a 125 ft cable and fairlead, and 12,000 lbs with a 100 ft cable. Both models feature high torque hydraulic motors designed for skid steer compatible recovery and towing operations.

The Hydraulic Recovery Unit is designed for skid steer compatibility, and Maxx Attachments manufactures products compatible with 10 major equipment brands including Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere, and Kubota. Contact our team to confirm compatibility with your specific skid steer model.

Hydraulic winches require periodic inspection of cable condition, hydraulic fluid levels, and motor connections. Regular lubrication of moving parts and checking for wear on the cable and fairlead extends service life. Contact Maxx Attachments support for specific maintenance schedules for your model.

Cable lengths vary by model. The 12,000 lb capacity model includes a 100 ft cable, while the 9,000 lb capacity model includes a longer 125 ft cable with a fairlead for extended reach during recovery and towing operations in construction and agricultural settings.
