RED Winches

Engineering doesn’t stop at the product.

At RED Winches, we know that a world-class winch deserves world-class protection. That’s why we’ve developed our own bespoke, heavy-duty packaging system specifically for international transit.

By utilising a custom-engineered pallet base and reinforced housing, we ensure:

Total Stability: Zero movement during sea or air freight.

Streamlined Handling: Designed for easy manoeuvring by forklifts and cranes.

Arrival Confidence: Our kit arrives looking as pristine as it did when it left our workshop.

When you’re shipping precision equipment across borders, "standard" isn’t good enough. We build the crate to match the quality of the winch inside.

We’re officially packing up some of the very first SV-R orders!

From the drawing board to the final product, seeing the SV-R products shipping out is a massive milestone. Precision engineering, sleek aesthetics, and now hitting the road to their new homes.

The RED Winches Stampede 2026 is all about pushing machines to their absolute limit, so it only makes sense to partner with a name that defines "Tried and Tested."

We are massive fans of heritage and hard-core engineering, which is why we are thrilled to announce Gwyn Lewis 4x4 as an official sponsor for this year’s event! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Based out of Llanfair Caereinion, Gwyn has been a legend in the Land Rover world since 1984. From steering bars and suspension to those essential mud shields and propshafts, the Gwyn Lewis team lives and breathes the same "built-not-bought" ethos that fuels every competitor on our start line. 🔥

When you see a Gwyn Lewis 4×4 sticker on a rig, you know it’s equipped with parts designed by a family that actually gets stuck in the mud.

Proudly designed and machined in our factory in Somerset, SV-R is specifically designed for all Land Rover Models (1983-2016) with parts for the INEOS Grenadier and the Jeep.

Every SV-R component is CNC machined from solid billet aluminium. This isn’t just about looks, it’s about offering superior increased strength, durability and aesthetics that far surpass standard OEM parts.

This is just the beginning. With more SV-R products currently in the pipeline, we are redefining the standard for vehicle hardware.

We are obsessed with this customer build!

There’s nothing like a modified Suzuki SJ, and adding the King Cobra with a medium drum to the front takes it to a whole new level. The owners custom winch mount really highlights the shallow depth of the King Cobra allowing for an incredible approach angle. Thanks for sharing this incredible rig with us!

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who does it all!

Forget the flowers and the scented candles. This year, we’re getting Mum what she really needs: the RED Winches Recovery Spade. It’s the Swiss Army Knife of domestic bliss and off-road recovery.

Why is it the ultimate Mother’s Day gift? Let us count the ways:

Kitchen Chic: Why buy a boring wooden stand when this spade makes the ultimate heavy-duty kitchen roll holder? It says, "I bake cookies, but I can also pull a 4x4 out of a bog before tea time."

The Ultimate Alarm Clock: That built-in whistle isn't just for safety; it’s for ensuring the kids are out of bed and downstairs in 0.5 seconds flat.

Evidence Management: Need to get rid of... let's call them "sensitive documents"? It doubles as a firelighter. If it didn't happen in the fireplace, it didn't happen at all.

Multipurpose Gardening: It’s perfect for digging over the flower beds. Because, as we all know, gardening is a much more socially acceptable hobby than the alternative. (Remember kids: Murder is illegal, but a well-turned vegetable patch is a delight!)

Give Mum the gift of recovery, utility, and just a hint of "don't mess with me" this Sunday.

Where the trail meets the farm...

We are beyond excited to announce that the Stampede 2026 is heading back to the breathtaking hills of Exmoor! A massive, heartfelt thank you to the incredible landowners, the same family behind Lamb Boxes , for their immense generosity.

Opening up a working farm for an event like this is no small feat, and we are so grateful they’ve invited us back to trail, sweat, and cheer on their private land for another year. ❤️

While you’re tackling the terrain, remember that this very soil is what produces there premium, grass-fed meat. When you buy a box, you aren’t just getting a meal; you’re supporting the family that makes the Stampede possible.

Direct from the Farm to Your Freezer:
- Elite Quality: 100% home-grown feed and zero stress.
- Traditional Craftsmanship: English slaughtered at our own facility just 5 minutes away (Non-Halal ).
- Maximum Flavor: Traditionally hung for 14 days and hand-cut by our master butchers.

Last week at RED Wi******er HQ, Goldstander Mog Shop came over from the US & Netherlands to see exactly how the magic happens!

Floor and Kris are global distributors, and this visit was about bringing our Somerset expertise back home. They aren’t just selling a product; they’re delivering the confidence that comes from seeing our winches and recovery equipment in person.

It was great to have the Goldstander crew on-site!

From the workshop in Llanfair Caereinion to the world’s toughest terrains! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Since 1984, Gwyn Lewis 4x4 has been fueled by a passion for Land Rovers. What started with Gwyn repairing vehicles at 16 has grown into a family-run global leader in off-road engineering.

Every steering bar, suspension kit, and propshaft they sell is designed, manufactured, and rigorously tried and tested by Gwyn himself to ensure it handles whatever you throw at it.

Big News for 2026! 🔥
We are incredibly proud to announce that Gwyn Lewis 4×4 is officially sponsoring the RED Winches Stampede 2026!

Why "Range" is only half the story with wireless winching. 📶
