when a loaded touring rig sinks to the chassis rails in a boggy creek crossing. The VRS 12500lb electric winch is rated at 12,500 lb, or 5,670 kg, on a single line from the first rope layer, and it gets there through a 273:1 three-stage planetary gear train driven by a 5.3 hp series wound motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat gear ratio is the difference between this and the 9500lb V95S. Both run the same motor and the same physical package, but the V125S trades a little line speed for substantially more pull, which is what a heavier vehicle with a full touring load actually needs. It carries the same IP68 water and dust rating, sealed housings, stainless steel hardware and multi-segmented cam activated brake as the rest of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vrs-winches\" title=\"Vrs winches , 4x4 down under\" aria-label=\"Vrs winches , 4x4 down under\"\u003eVRS winch range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is complete. Twenty-four metres of 11 mm synthetic rope with a SAM hook, an offset aluminium hawse fairlead, wireless and wired remotes, a 500A isolator switch, ANM fuse and holder, and a breather vent with 2.5 m hose. At 26.5 kg it shares the V95S footprint, so anything drilled to the 254 mm x 114 mm pattern will take either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shpd-figure shpd-figure--plain\"

pull?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is rated at 12,500 lb, or 5,670 kg, on a single line from the first layer of rope. Rated pull falls as the drum fills: 4,386 kg on the second layer, 3,572 kg on the third and 3,103 kg on the fourth with all 24 m spooled on. Spooling out to a lower layer before a hard pull is standard practice for that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the V125S and the V95S?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey share the same 5.3 hp series wound motor, the same 537 mm x 155 mm x 173 mm package and the same 254 mm x 114 mm bolt pattern. The difference is gearing and rope. The V125S runs a 273:1 ratio for 5,670 kg of rated pull with 24 m of 11 mm rope at 26.5 kg, while the V95S runs 216:1 for 4,310 kg with 30 m of 9.5 mm rope at 26.2 kg. The V125S gives you more pull, the V95S more line and more speed under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat rope does the V125S come with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four metres of 11 mm synthetic rope with a SAM hook, plus an offset aluminium hawse fairlead. The heavier 11 mm rope suits the higher rated pull. Synthetic rope is lighter than steel cable and stores less energy if it lets go, though it is more susceptible to abrasion and UV, so inspect it before each use and keep it clear of sharp edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat battery and wiring does it need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVRS recommends a minimum 650 CCA battery for winching. Current draw rises steeply with load: around 80 A with no load, 180 A at 1,814 kg, 290 A at 4,536 kg and 340 A at the full 5,670 kg rated pull. That is a heavy sustained draw, so we recommend the install is done by a qualified auto electrician who can confirm your charging system, battery and cabling are up to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow fast does the 12500lb winch pull under load?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree spool line speed is 10.80 m per minute with no load. Under load it slows to 2.80 m\/min at 1,814 kg, 2.10 m\/min at 3,629 kg and 1.70 m\/min at the full 5,670 kg rated pull. The deeper 273:1 gearing means it is slower under load than the 9500lb model, which is the trade for the extra pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the V125S waterproof?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries an IP68 water and dust rating, with sealed housings, stainless steel hardware and a sealed contactor controller. It is designed to resist water ingress during crossings and wet weather use, though no winch should be treated as immune. Route the breather vent hose high and dry, and inspect the unit after any deep water work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill it fit my existing winch cradle or bullbar?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bolt pattern is 254 mm x 114 mm and the winch measures 537 mm x 155 mm x 173 mm at 26.5 kg, which is the standard footprint for this class. Confirm your bar or cradle is drilled to that pattern and check clearance before ordering. Because it shares dimensions with the V95S, a cradle set up for one will generally take the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to buy an isolator or fuse separately?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit includes a 500A isolator switch, an ANM fuse and holder, a detachable 650A control box with cables, and a breather vent with 2.5 m hose and bracket, along with both wireless and wired remotes. You should not need additional electrical hardware beyond what suits your particular mounting position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"VRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49062326075617,"sku":"V125S","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/8595\/files\/vrs-12500lb-electric-winch-12v-synthetic-rope-435.webp?v=1788945959","url":"https:\/\/www.4x4downunder.com.au\/products\/vrs-12500lb-electric-winch-12v-synthetic-rope","provider":"4x4 Down Under","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
