KFI Standard Aluminium Hawse
The KFI Standard 4.875" Aluminium Hawse is a polished fairlead designed for winch rope guidance on ATVs and utility vehicles. Its aluminium construction reduces weight compared to steel alternatives while resisting corrosion. The polished finish adds a clean appearance to the front of the vehicle. This component mounts to a compatible winch bumper or mounting plate.
Suits synthetic rope winches
This hawse fairlead is intended for use with synthetic winch ropes, providing a smooth radius that prevents abrasion during angled pulls. It is not suitable for wire rope, which requires a roller fairlead to avoid damage to both the rope and the aluminium surface. Buyers with existing steel cable installations should look at a different fairlead style.
Polished aluminium under load
Under sustained winching tension, the polished aluminium surface maintains a low-friction path for synthetic rope, reducing heat build-up compared to rougher castings. The material resists deformation from the compressive forces of a loaded line. The polished finish does not degrade the rope fibres during long, continuous pulls.

Questions about this item
What winch drum size matches the 4.875" fairlead opening?
The fairlead is built for a standard 4.875" drum width so it aligns with the same-dimension winch drum on your ATV or UTV.
Will this aluminium hawse work with my existing steel cable?
No, the polished aluminium surface is designed for synthetic rope only; steel cable will cut grooves and damage the fairlead.
How can I confirm the hawse is seated correctly after bolting it on?
Check that the rope runs centred through the opening without touching the polished edges and that the mounting bolts are snug against the winch plate.
