X-BULL 2x Wireless Winch Remote Control 12 Volt 150ft Handset Switch 4wd

Working a corded winch switch puts you exactly where nobody should be standing: alongside the vehicle, close to the line, inside the arc it would sweep. A wireless handset buys back the distance, so the operator can stand somewhere with a clear view of the load and still stop the drum instantly.

Range is a best-case number

The supplier gives about 150 ft and nothing more. No frequency, no channel count, no transmit power. A bare figure like that is a clear line-of-sight maximum, taken with nothing in the way. Actual working distance falls once the signal has to pass through a vehicle body, a cutting or a wet tree line, and it falls again as the handset battery ages. That figure is published here exactly as the source states it, without conversion or rounding, and the operating frequency is simply not published at all.

Two handsets means a second pair of hands

Both remotes come in the kit along with the receiver, a battery and a manual, so a spotter can hold one without a second purchase. In practice that is the useful part: one person watching the line and the recovery point, another positioned to see what the vehicle is doing. Each handset measures about 45 x 105 mm and the receiver about 45 x 60 mm, small enough to find a dry mounting spot but worth checking against the space you have. An indicator light shows when a handset is transmitting.

Check what your winch actually uses

The supplier states the kit will work with any 12 volt solenoid operated winch. That covers most vehicle winches running a separate contactor, but it is a supplier claim rather than a verified fitment list, and it excludes anything with an integrated controller or a different system voltage. Confirm your winch is 12 V and solenoid or contactor controlled before ordering. Note too that this listing carries two variants, Model A and Model B, and the supplier data does not describe what separates them — check the variant images, and ask us first if the difference matters to you.

Key features

• Two handsets supplied: a spare in the glovebox, or a second operator on the ground.
• Transmit indicator: a light on the handset confirms the signal is going out.
• 12 V receiver: matches standard vehicle winch control circuits.
• Compact receiver: about 45 x 60 mm, so it can be tucked somewhere dry and out of the way.

Before you use it

• A remote lets you stand clear. It does not make standing near the line safe — stay out of the line and its arc at all times.
• Position yourself where you can see the load and the recovery point, and where you can release the switch instantly.
• Check the line, hooks and shackles each time before you start; anything cut, cracked or deformed comes out of service.
• Weight the line with a dampener before taking up load.
• Nobody stands within the sweep of that line while it is under tension.
• Anchor to rated recovery points only.
• A shackle is never used to link two straps together.
• Synthetic line stores energy just as steel line does, and a failure under load can be fatal.

Confirm your winch control setup and which model you are ordering, and this is an inexpensive way to get out from under the rope.
