Can Superwinch Tigershark 9500 Mount to Trailer with Winch Mounting Plate

Updated 12/29/2025 | Published 08/14/2017

Question:

I have a car trailer with a mounting plate for a winch and wanted to know if I could mount the tigershark 9500 directly to the trailer. I currently have a superwinch s4000 and for the money it seems like the tigershark is a good deal. Do the fairlead rollers mount to the winch? Thanks

If your trailer has a winch mounting plate on it already the Superwinch Tiger Shark part # SW1595200 would easily mount to it and work well. The roller fairlead you see in the pictures does mount to the front of the winch.

Is there a mounting place available to mount a ts 9500 to my trailer deck , if so can it be bolted directly to the 2x8 deck? Thanks

@Steve I would use a mounting plate like the part # BDW65XJ preferably attaches to the trailer frame but it depends on how heavy of a vehicle you'd be winching up as to whether or not it would have the needed capacity.
