Gigglepin & Warn Winch Specialist in Bendigo — Official Gigglepin Agent in Australia.
Gigglepin started in UK competition winching and ended up as one of the most serious winch platforms in the world — twin-motor builds, recovery-grade internals and a parts catalogue built for blokes who actually need their winch to work when it counts. Real comp pedigree, backed by parts that survive that kind of punishment.
MBC 4X4 Solutions is an Official Gigglepin Agent in Australia — cleared by the Australian importer, working exclusively with 100% Genuine Gigglepin Parts. No marketplace knock-offs, no grey-import gaskets, no “should be fine” parts substitution. If it goes in your winch, it came through the proper channel.
A standard Gigglepin service covers a full strip-down, internal inspection, brake shaft and gasket replacement where needed, motor and solenoid check, drum and rope set-up, bench-test, then back to you with notes on what was found and what to keep an eye on. Customers regularly send Gigglepin units in from Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania and the Riverina — driving past plenty of other workshops to get here.

Warn Winches — Sales, Fitment And Experienced Repair Work.
Warn is the recognised default winch on most touring 4WDs in Australia — well-engineered, well-supported and a sensible choice for the vast majority of recovery work. MBC sells Warn winches, fits them properly, and is an Experienced Warn winch repairer — which means warranty work stays warranty work, and authorised servicing keeps your cover intact.
Common Warn scope through the workshop: cable-to-synthetic rope conversions, solenoid replacement, motor refresh, broken brake repair, contactor upgrades, and the occasional total rebuild on a unit that’s been dunked one too many times. Honest call either way — if the repair’s worth doing, it’s worth doing; if you’re better off stepping across to a Gigglepin conversion, you’ll be told straight.
One thing worth knowing: substandard fitment or non-genuine parts will void a Warn warranty quick. That’s the trade-off with the budget winch rebuilders out there — and exactly why experienced repair work matters.

Gigglepin vs Warn — Which Winch, And When?
Both are good. Neither is the right answer for every build. Here’s how Mitch actually compares them when a customer rings up trying to decide.
Gigglepin
Warn
UK competition heritage — twin-motor builds, recovery-grade internals, built for serious load and abuse.
Market touring winch — well-engineered, well-supported, designed for the broadest range of 4WD use.
Raw pulling power, durability under sustained load, deep parts catalogue, comp-ready out of the crate.
Brand recognition, parts availability, simple ownership, authorised repair network nationally.
Competition rigs, heavy 79 Series and 105 Series builds, mine-spec, anyone who’s already broken a winch once.
Touring rigs, weekend tracks, dual-cab utes, daily-driver 4WDs that need a sensible recovery winch.
Specialist territory — should be serviced by an Official Gigglepin Agent using 100% Genuine Gigglepin Parts.
Wider service network, but warranty work needs to go through an Experienced Warn Repairer like MBC.
Gigglepin can be spec’d from scratch, or fitted as a conversion kit to upgrade a host Warn or stock winch.
Warn conversion kits and component-level upgrades available; cable-to-synthetic rope conversions common.

Straight answers to the winch questions Mitch gets most
Winch specific questions customers ask.
Are you an Official Gigglepin Agent?
Yes. MBC 4X4 Solutions is an Official Gigglepin Agent in Australia, cleared by the Gigglepin Australian importer. Every Gigglepin part Mitch fits is 100% Genuine Gigglepin — sourced through the proper channel, not off a marketplace or a grey importer.
How often should I service my 4WD winch?
As a rule of thumb: every 12 months for a touring winch that gets used a few times a year, and after every comp or every serious recovery weekend for a heavy-use rig. If the winch has been dunked, sat in salt water or had any sign of moisture in the drum, service it sooner — the cost of a service is a fraction of the cost of replacing a corroded motor or brake.
Can you build a competition winch?
Yes. Competition winch builds are part of the bread and butter — twin-motor Gigglepin builds, conversion kits, custom drum and rope set-ups for comp rigs. As an Official Gigglepin Agent in Australia, Mitch can spec the build properly and source 100% Genuine Gigglepin Parts to suit the class and the recovery loads.
What's the lead time on a Gigglepin build?
Depends on the build and parts availability. A straight Gigglepin conversion can typically be turned around in a couple of weeks once parts are on hand. A full competition build or a complete custom unit runs longer — three to eight weeks isn’t unusual. Tell Mitch your event date or trip date and you’ll get a straight answer either way, not a guess.
Do you stock Gigglepin parts like brake shafts and gaskets?
Yes. Customers regularly send Gigglepin winches in from Queensland, New South Wales and the Riverina for service or conversion. Bench-tested, serviced, returned. Ring Mitch on 0428 945 552 to confirm scope, pricing and freight before you box it up — no surprises that way.
Can I ship my winch to you from interstate?
Yes, but ring first before you box it up. A quick phone chat with Mitch will often diagnose the issue and get you back up and running without the freight cost. If the winch needs hands-on service, repair or a full build, MBC is the specialist worth shipping to — confirm scope, pricing and turnaround on the phone before you send it.
Heavy winch on the front? Will my suspension cope?
Short answer: usually not without a front suspension upgrade. Heavy twin-motor winches and a bull bar combined can push the front end well past stock load capacity. Mitch will check it as part of the quote — see the suspension section for the upgrade path.
