Superwinch SP 35 3500 lb ATV/UTV Winch with Steel Wire Rope
Shipping calculated at checkout
In stock
The Superwinch SP 35 is a 3500 winch built for ATV and smaller UTV owners who need reliable self-recovery from mud holes, sand washes and slick climbs. A 1.6 HP permanent magnet motor drives 198:1 three-stage planetary gearing, with 7/32 in. x 40 ft. steel wire rope and a 4-way stainless steel roller fairlead.
Steel wire rope tolerates rock edges, brush and abrasive ground, which is why many riders still choose a steel cable winch for work and trail duty. The SP 35 uses a welded steel drum, a full load holding automatic brake and a fully sealed drum, gearbox and contactor rated IP68, so this 3,500 lb ATV winch keeps working through wet and dusty rides.
As a 3500 lb ATV winch, the SP 35 suits utility and sport quads, and as a 3500 lb UTV winch it fits the job on lighter side-by-sides. Riders comparing ATV winches will recognize it as the Superwinch 3500 steel-rope model, the same 12V winch platform as the SP 35SR with wire rope instead of synthetic.

Fitment
Superwinch builds the SP 35 as part of its SP Powersports Series of ATV/UTV winches. It is not a vehicle-specific kit: it bolts to a winch mount, winch plate or winch-ready bumper that accepts the 4.88 in. x 3.0 in. (124mm x 76mm) mounting bolt pattern and runs on a 12V DC electrical system. Superwinch does not publish a make, model or year fitment list for this winch, and a vehicle-specific mounting plate is not listed among its included features. Confirm that your machine has a compatible winch mount or bumper, room for the drum and fairlead, and a suitable battery connection before ordering. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications we have not listed.
FAQ
Why choose steel wire rope on the SP 35?
Steel wire rope tolerates rock edges, brush and abrasive ground better than synthetic line and pairs with the included 4-way stainless steel roller fairlead. If you want lighter, easier-to-handle line, the SP 35SR is the same winch with synthetic rope and an aluminum hawse fairlead.
Will the SP 35 hold a load on a hill?
Yes. Superwinch fits the SP 35 with a full load holding automatic brake, and the 1.6 HP permanent magnet motor provides dynamic braking, so the load stays put when you stop winching.
Does the SP 35 fit my ATV or UTV?
The SP 35 is a universal ATV/UTV winch with a 4.88 in. x 3.0 in. mounting bolt pattern. Superwinch does not publish a vehicle-specific fitment list, so you need a winch mount, plate or winch-ready bumper for your machine that accepts that bolt pattern.
What comes with the Superwinch SP 35?
Superwinch lists the winch with 7/32 in. x 40 ft. steel wire rope, the 4-way stainless steel roller fairlead, a heavy-duty 1/4 in. clevis hook, dash-mounted control switches and a 10 ft. handheld remote with a handlebar rocker switch. A vehicle-specific winch mount is not listed, so plan on one for your machine.
How hard is the SP 35 to install?
Most owners with basic tools can mount it to an existing winch plate or bumper, route the wiring and connect to the 12V battery. Superwinch publishes installation instructions for the SP Powersports Series, available on this page. If your machine has no winch mount yet, add one first.
Is a 3500 ATV winch enough, or is the 4,500 lb SP 45 the best UTV winch for my machine?
A common rule of thumb is a winch rated at about 1.5 times your machine's loaded weight. The SP 35 suits ATVs and lighter UTVs, while the SP 45 adds pulling headroom for heavier or loaded side-by-sides.
Why Superwinch
Superwinch is a long-standing name in off-road recovery winches. Every Superwinch winch in the SP Powersports Series uses a steel drum rather than aluminum, a no-bind twistlock clutch and a fully sealed drum, gearbox and contactor, and Superwinch backs the series with a limited lifetime mechanical warranty and a limited 3-year electrical warranty.
Complete Your ATV/UTV Winch Setup With The SP 35
Before you order the Superwinch SP 35, confirm your machine has a winch mount or winch-ready bumper that accepts the 4.88 in. x 3.0 in. bolt pattern and decide whether 3,500 lb and steel wire rope are the right match for your riding. Then round out the kit with a tree protector strap and a snatch block so this 3500 lb steel cable winch can handle angled and double-line pulls safely.
