With the ANTWINCH winches, WINCH Industry is now bringing its first own brand of winches to market.
Look at the winch market and you always find the same two or three big, established brands. With the new ANTWINCH, a new brand is coming to the winch market for the first time in ages, one committed to high quality and function: ANTWINCH from WINCH Industry.
WINCH Industry has more than 10 years’ experience selling winches and lifting gear. Now WINCH Industry offers its own in-house designs through its own platform seilwinden-direkt.de.
ANTWINCH: as tough and tireless as an ant
The name ANTWINCH is meant to recall the well-known abilities of an ant. Small, but extremely strong and tireless. WINCH Industry brings these qualities to its new brand. The winches are meant for a broad range of uses. There’s a right model for every purpose, whether for recovering 4x4s, trucks, ATVs or quads, or for use on vehicle or boat trailers. The winches can also be used in forestry, hunting, agriculture or industry. Thanks to the IP68 protection rating, the ANTWINCH stands up to adverse conditions too.
WINCH Industry can point to more than 50,000 winch orders through its own web shop. That brings a lot of experience about the right winch for each purpose.
With the latest technology and hard-wearing materials, the winches guarantee performance and long life under the harshest conditions. Finely tuned controls and precise mechanisms ensure efficient handling of loads.
The highlights of the ANTWINCH series are:
- Extremely powerful and efficient: especially fast, especially quiet and of excellent quality
- A perfect combination of price & performance: whatever your budget, there’s a right winch in the ANTWINCH range
- Water-resistant: a waterproof cover keeps extreme weather out, for reliable use in damp environments
- Tough and safe: control box with heavy-duty relay & an integrated automatic braking system
- Proven strong: every winch is put through a pull test before shipping
The ANTWINCH family
The ANTWINCH range, which will later be joined by hoists, launches with three series and five winches, all of which, except the TORQX BLITZ 12, come with either synthetic or steel rope: RAW FORCE, TORQX and ATTA.
The ANTWINCH RAW FORCE
The RAW FORCE winches are the all-rounders with a series-wound motor for normal use on 4x4s, trucks, boats or trailers. They offer good value. They always come with a wired and a wireless remote. You can choose between steel and synthetic rope. The control box has a heavy-duty relay, of course. The line speed on the first layer is 6.8 m/min.

The ANTWINCH TORQX
The premium winch in the range. At 7.4 m/min on the first layer it’s faster than the RAW FORCE and also has a series-wound motor. The rope length is 26 metres. The TORQX BLITZ is aimed at competition in particular. With its 2-speed gearbox it reaches up to 20 m/min line speed. As is usual in competition, it comes with synthetic rope.

The ANTWINCH ATTA
The ATTA in particular suits smaller vehicles, boats and trailers. Compact in size and strong in performance. It fits many quads and ATVs. It too comes with a wired and a wireless remote. The ATTA 5S also has a long drum, which allows longer ropes and larger rope diameters.
