Elkhart, IN - The newly introduced wireless remote for T-Max high-performance off-road recovery winch won the award for Best New Product under $500 at the SEMA Spring Expo held recently in Indianapolis. T-Max winches are distributed by Stutz Industries, LLC, located in Elkhart, Ind. The award was presented by the Light Truck Accessory Alliance, a council of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA).

The new remote eliminates the need for running wiring from the winch up into the vehicle dashboard as is commonly required with other brands. It also eliminates the need for mounting an external antenna on the vehicle. 

The wireless control module plugs into a designated receiver on the winch which has been prewired at the factory for this specific purpose.  The wireless hand held control is designed as a key fob, with two commands for pulling line out or in.  The plug-in module is completely sealed in a plastic resin making it impervious to water, mud snow, dust and other potentially harmful elements encountered in extreme conditions.

Stutz Industries, LLC is the exclusive North American wholesale distributor of T-Max high-performance off-road recovery winches, straps and equipment. Accessories are sold individually or in kits.
