Seal Gen2 16.5s (7.5 Tonne) Severe Duty Recovery Winch by ComeUp
Engineered for demanding recoveries, the ComeUp Seal Gen2 16.5s combines raw pulling strength with refined control. Its 12V DC severe-duty motor delivers a dependable 16,500lb (7.5-tonne) line pull and includes an integrated thermal switch that warns you if temperatures rise too high.
The ergonomic T-handle and 4-pin mounting system make it easy to rotate the gearbox in 90-degree steps, helping you achieve a clean fit no matter your setup. A waterproof remote with a 5-metre lead and thermometric LED indicator gives you full control from a safe distance, even in wet or muddy conditions.
Every component is built for endurance and safety. The 12-strand synthetic rope is abrasion-resistant and doesn’t absorb water, making it ideal for use in Australia’s harsh, variable environments. The heavy-duty aluminium die-cast housing withstands up to twice the winch’s rated load, while the patented mechanical cone brake system (mounted externally for better cooling) ensures smooth, reliable braking under pressure.
Certified to global standards including CE and SAE J706, the Seal Gen2 16.5s is a proven performer trusted by professionals and off-roaders alike.
