Superwinch 1595200 Tiger Shark 9.5, 12 VDC winch, 9,500 lb/4,309 kg capacity with roller fairlead

The Superwinch 1511200 Tiger Shark 11.5 is a reliable and well-made winch that offers great value for money. It is designed in the UK and made in China. The winch operates by hooking it up to batteries, while the remote simply plugs into the winch. One customer mentioned that the winch comes with 92ft of cable, but this may vary. Another customer asked if the winch can power in and out, and it was confirmed that it can. However, the release mechanism is so easy to use that it is unclear why one would want to power out, unless they are lowering something. A customer inquired if this winch would be suitable for winching up a 4,000 lb trailer slope, and it was suggested that a 12,000 lb winch might be better depending on factors such as friction and the trailer angle. The winch is primarily designed to pull vehicles with tires out of mud and over obstacles. Another customer asked if it is possible to run power from a truck to the winch on a trailer, and it was clarified that DC power is required. The winch comes with heavy battery-type cables, so unless there is a battery on the trailer, a similar connection is needed. Regarding mounting, a customer asked if the winch would fit on a specific bumper, and it was stated that most winches have standard or universal mount outer bolt holes. The Superwinch Tiger Shark has 10”x4.5” bolt hole dimensions, and using grade 8 bolts for mounting the bumper is recommended. In terms of customer reviews, most customers had positive experiences with this winch. Some praised its reliability and ease of installation, with one mentioning that they appreciate the ability to easily clock the clutch lever 180 degrees and remote mount the solenoid. Another customer mentioned that the winch is strong and operates quietly and smoothly. They also recommended contacting customer service for any issues, as they have heard positive things about their support. However, there were a few complaints as well. One customer received a damaged winch due to poor packaging, while another experienced a motor lock-up after only two uses. Another customer mentioned that their winch initially worked well but later experienced issues with pulling. Overall, the Superwinch 1511200 Tiger Shark 11.5 is a reliable and well-made winch that provides good value for money. It is recommended for those in need of a strong and versatile winch, with the caveat that attention should be paid to packaging and potential motor lock-up issues.
