When venturing off road into challenging terrain, of all the Land Rover accessories you can have in your arsenal, a good winch should be at the top of your list! Overcoming challenges is all part and parcel of the fun, whether you’re extracting your own vehicle or that of your fellow 4×4 enthusiasts from a difficult scenario.
When it comes to winching power and capabilities, few can match Superwinch. With 45 years of experience in winch manufacturing and development, the brands high-quality products are suitable for all markets from recreation and recovery to industrial, utility and military pursuits.

About Superwinch

Founded by Frank Tolsdorf, Superwinch began life as a project of Ford Motor Company. As a marketer and entrepreneur, Frank saw a gap on the market for an organisation dedicated to developing and manufacturing the very best winches, and so Superwinch began to put down the roots that would make it a well-known brand today.

While the first iterations of the Superwinch to roll off the production line were for the pleasure boating market, it quickly became clear that winches could be used for a variety of applications. This realisation spurred on a flurry of acquisitions across the USA, expanding Superwinch from its humble beginnings in Connecticut to a nationwide enterprise. From here, the company moved into hydraulic and worm drive winch markets, as well as overdrive gearboxes for Toyota and Land Rover.

As Superwinch quickly became pioneers in their industry, they were the first to use synthetic ropes for their winches which put them head and shoulders above their competition. Today, the company operates across 4 continents producing winches for a number of markets including winches for a vast number of Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles.
