Product Description
Sku: PS6000

The PS6000 is the lightest-duty 12V planetary recovery winch in the Pierce line — 6,000 lb pulling capacity from a 5.5 HP motor that draws 290 amps at peak, the easiest in the family on a stock automotive electrical system. Built for car trailers, light vehicle recovery, and equipment positioning where 6K is enough.

When should I pick the 6K instead of stepping up to the 9K?

Three reasons. The 290-amp peak draw runs cleanly off most stock alternator + battery setups without an electrical upgrade. The smaller drum and lighter wire rope (9/32 in × 65 ft) cuts overall winch weight, which matters on car trailers and lightweight rigs. And the 6K capacity is enough headroom for any sub-3,500 lb load most car trailers see — anything bigger, step up to the 9K.

  • 6,000 lb rated pulling capacity
  • 12V DC, 5.5 HP motor — 290 amp peak draw
  • 3-stage planetary gear
  • 13 fpm max line speed — controlled pulling for light loads
  • Sliding ring-gear clutch — manual engagement at the winch for free-spool
  • Cast metal construction
  • Includes 9/32 in × 65 ft wire rope
  • Recommended battery: 650 CCA | Wire: 2 gauge
  • Pierce SKU PS6000 — typically in stock, fast turnaround

For more pulling power and the line's fastest line speed, see the 9,000 lb 12V Planetary Recovery Winch. For the receiver-hitch mount that fits this winch, see the Receiver Hitch Winch Mount. For continuous-duty industrial pulling instead of recovery, see the 9,000 lb 12V Worm Gear Winch.

⚠️ Never use a winch for lifting or moving people. Pulling and recovery use only.
