A winch gets all the attention. The mounting plate is what decides if it holds or fails.
If the mount flexes, shifts, or interferes with suspension, your winch becomes unreliable when you need it most. This plate is built to handle real loads without compromising fitment or strength.
Key features
3/16” heavy-duty steel plate construction
Laser cut and CNC brake press formed
UV-resistant powder-coated finish
Designed for 4500 lb winch applications
Standard mounting hole patterns for compatibility
Quick bolt-on installation
tips & Notes
Why This Matters:
Your winch is only as strong as what it’s mounted to. Weak mounts flex under load and can cause misalignment, failure, or damage.
Strength Focus:
3/16” steel with formed bends adds rigidity where flat plates typically fail. Built to handle real recovery loads.
Winch Compatibility:
Optimized for 4500 lb Black Ops Winch
Works with many OEM and aftermarket winches
Important Limitation:
Winches wider than 375 mm (14-3/4”) can contact the A-arm
6000 lb Black Ops Winch is not recommended due to clearance issues
Fitment Constraint:
Not compatible with SuperATV A-arms
This is a critical detail and should not be overlooked during purchase.
Mounting Specs:
Winch bolt pattern: 3" x 6 5/8" (76mm x 169mm)
Fairlead bolt pattern: 152mm (5.98")
Use Case:
Trail recovery
Mud riding
Property work where self-recovery is necessary
What This Is Not:
Not a universal fit solution
Not designed for oversized winches without checking clearance
