Frequently Asked Questions

Is 3,000lb enough line pull for my quad bike or light trailer?

The CW-3U is rated at 3,000lb (1,360kg) on the first layer of the drum, making it suited to quad bikes, light ATVs, and trailers carrying loads up to around 1,000-1,200kg. It drops to around 2,725lb at layer 3, so factor in that reduction when sizing the winch to your application. If you're regularly working with heavier loads, the CW-45 at 4,500lb is worth considering instead.

What remote control options are included with the CW-3U?

The CW-3U comes with both a wired hand remote with a 3.7m lead and a wireless remote control, included in the box at no extra cost. Both control power in and power out functions, giving you flexibility whether you're operating from the seat or on foot.

What are the mounting dimensions and will it fit my application?

The CW-3U has a mounting bolt pattern of 76mm x 124mm and overall dimensions of 310 x 127 x 127mm. It's a compact unit that fits most standard ATV, trailer and pedestal mounting locations. Measure your existing mount before ordering to confirm fit.

What rope comes with the CW-3U and how long is it?

The winch ships with 13m of 4.8mm diameter synthetic rope. Synthetic rope is lighter and safer to handle than steel wire and well suited to trailer and ATV applications. If your setup requires more length, aftermarket synthetic rope in this diameter is widely available.

What gear ratio does the CW-3U run and what does that mean for speed and pulling power?

The CW-3U has a 153:1 gear ratio through a single-stage planetary geartrain. Higher gear ratios deliver more pulling force at the expense of line speed, at no load the winch pulls at around 6.2m per minute, slowing as load increases. For the loads this winch is designed for, the speed is practical and the pulling effort is solid.

How does the braking system work and will the load hold if power is cut?

The CW-3U uses a self-locking gear train for rated load holding. When you release the remote, the geartrain mechanically locks the drum and holds the load without relying on any electrical component to keep it in place. It's a reliable, passive braking design suited to trailer and ATV use.

Can this winch run off my ATV or quad bike's standard 12V electrical system?

Yes. The CW-3U runs on 12V DC and draws around 65 amps at 1,000lb of line pull, rising at rated load. Most ATVs and quad bikes have a 12V system capable of driving this winch, but check your battery capacity and wiring gauge before installation, particularly if you plan to do repeated pulls.

What warranty does the Carbon CW-3U come with?

Covered by Carbon Offroad's Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty and a 5-year Electrical Warranty.

Shopping with 4x4 Down Under: Good to deal with and prompt

Carbo Winch 3000

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way. And if something should happen to your order while in transit you can rest assured that it's insured and you won't lose a dime!
