How does this winch plate attach to my vehicle?

The lifgarfe cradle inserts into any 2" receiver like a standard ball mount. Tighten and secure with the included 5/8" hitch pin and cotton (clip) to prevent movement during travel. No additional welding or modification is required.

• Standard 2" shank fits all common trailer hitch receivers
• 5/8" hitch pin included for secure mounting
• No-drill installation—slide in and clip
• Designed to hold portable electric or manual winches

Will the lifgarfe winch plate resist weather and corrosion?

The cradle is finished with a baked black powder coat to protect the steel against moisture and abrasion. That coating, combined with quality steel construction, helps keep the mount functional in wet or salty conditions, extending its service life when used outdoors.

• Black powder-coated finish for rust resistance
• Solid-steel body resists bending under load
• Suitable for seasonal use on ATVs and UTVs
• Simple maintenance: wipe clean and inspect pins

What kinds of winches and loads can I use with this mounting plate?

The lifgarfe winch cradle is intended for portable winches commonly used on ATVs, UTVs and small trailers. It secures the winch base and helps distribute pulling forces to the hitch receiver; check your winch and vehicle hitch ratings to ensure they match the anticipated loads.

• Holds most portable electric and manual winches with base plates
• Designed to transfer load into the vehicle hitch rather than the bumper
• Not a substitute for rated recovery anchors—follow equipment specs
• Verify combined ratings of winch and hitch before heavy use

How easy is it to install and remove the winch plate?

Installation is straightforward: slide the shank into a 2" receiver and secure with the included hitch pin and cotton pin (retaining clip). Removing the cradle takes only seconds, making it convenient for temporary winch use or when you need the receiver for other accessories.

• Tool-free setup using included pin and clip
• Quick removal for storage or swapping accessories
• Compact footprint keeps access to cargo area clear
• Good option for multi-use hitches on work trucks and trailers
