Wireless Winch Comparison Superwinch S5500 vs Comeup UW-500si
Question:
Are these two wireless winch controllers similar? Do they use blue tooth technology or radio frequency? It appears the Comeup wireless comes with winch whereas the Superwinch is a separate purchase. My application is loading a dragster into an enclosed trailer, so the remote needs to function at least 60foot from winch and have precise control of in and out function.

The Comeup Winch part # CU645010 and the Superwinch S5500 Trailer Winch # SW1455201 with the wireless remote # SW43GR are both pretty similarly specced once you have the wireless remote for the Superwinch.
Based on that I would go with the ComeUp since the price is better, the wireless remote doesn't require any install, has a great range, and easily stores on the winch. The Comeup is also about 20 lbs lighter as well.
