The RED Winches FM50 Force Multiplier – High-Capacity Recovery System for Overland & Commercial Vehicles
The FM50 is a compact, high-capacity recovery solution built for vehicles that are too large to self-recover using standard winches alone. Whether you drive an overland truck, expedition camper, or heavy-duty commercial vehicle, this force multiplier gives you the ability to recover with help from a much smaller vehicle.
By using a mechanical advantage of 4:1 or 5:1 (depending on rigging), even road cars like a Ranger, Q7, or Amarok can assist in pulling large vehicles free. It also doubles as a 2:1 snatch or pulley block, adding versatility to your recovery kit.
Applications:
-
Recover large overland and expedition vehicles
-
Use with smaller vehicles to assist in recovery
-
Ideal for use with synthetic rope extensions and soft shackles
Important Notes:
⚠️ Do not use steel D-shackles or bow shackles with this product.
This recovery system is designed exclusively for soft shackles.
