When you invest in a SHERP, you’re getting one of the most capable off-road machines on the planet. With its amphibious capabilities, oversized low-pressure tires, and rugged build, SHERP is ready for almost anything straight off the production floor. But for operators who demand even more from their vehicle, SHERP USA offers a lineup of performance-enhancing accessories that can elevate your SHERP.
Whether you’re using your SHERP for disaster relief, off-grid exploration, industrial work, or just heading deep into the backcountry, these SHERP accessories add comfort, capability, safety, and utility. Let’s take a look at five standout accessories that maximize your SHERP’s performance—and why they’re worth considering for your next build.
1. Winch System
Even though a SHERP almost never gets stuck, the addition of a high-powered winch system can drastically expand its versatility. The SHERP winch system includes both front and rear receivers and an Anderson quick connector, allowing operators to reposition the winch depending on the situation. This is especially useful for self-recovery, clearing trails, or assisting other vehicles. The winch system includes a waterproof 8,500 lb winch and a remote control for safety and precision. Whether you’re hauling trailers through muskeg or navigating flood zones, this tool gives you extra pulling power and peace of mind in extreme conditions.
2. LED Light Bars
When the sun goes down or visibility drops, SHERP’s LED light bar system is a game changer. Mounted on all four sides and wired into the rocker switch panel, these LED bars are built to handle the roughest rides and weather. More than just a cosmetic upgrade, this lighting solution transforms your SHERP into a mobile unit that’s ready for rescue missions, late-night hunting trips, or any scenario that requires total visibility. If your missions take you into the wilderness after dark—or in snowstorms, fog, or the dead of winter—this is an essential safety and performance upgrade.
3. Auxiliary Wheel Fuel Tanks
SHERP vehicles already have impressive range, but in remote environments, every extra gallon matters. That’s where the auxiliary wheel fuel tanks come into play. These tanks carry roughly 17 additional gallons per wheel and are standard on the SHERP N–1200. They’re manually transferred rather than integrated into the main tank, but offer a smart and efficient way to extend your operational radius. They also help block mud buildup inside the wheel wells. For long expeditions, extended workdays, or emergency response situations, these tanks reduce the need to return for refueling, giving you more time on task and less worry about fuel reserves.
4. Transport Trailer
Getting your SHERP to the trailhead or job site can be a logistical challenge without the right trailer. The SHERP Transport Trailer was built specifically for SHERP’s unique size. Compatible with all SHERP models, the trailer features a drive-on design, no ramps needed, and is built from high-strength materials to hold the SHERP securely during transport. With the ability to air down the tires and lower the unit directly onto the trailer bed, loading and unloading becomes a quick, one-person job. If you’re a SHERP owner who regularly moves between distant worksites, this trailer is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
5. Custom Seating Options
Whether you’re transporting work crews, search-and-rescue teams, or tourists, comfortable and flexible seating makes a big difference. SHERP offers two major options: bench seating and captain’s chairs. Bench seats fold up when not in use, giving you easier access to underfloor storage and room for gear. Captain’s chairs, on the other hand, offer more individual comfort but reduce storage access. Both options are available for SHERP Pro XT and N–1200 models, allowing you to customize the layout based on your mission needs. With SHERP’s bouncy rides across extreme terrain, the right seating can improve both passenger comfort and operational efficiency.
Other Smart SHERP Add-Ons
While the five accessories above are our top picks for performance enhancement, there are plenty of other options worth noting depending on your specific use case:
- Storage Lockers & Cargo Nets: Keep tools and gear secure during extreme rides.
- Stretcher Rack System: Essential for EMS or SAR teams.
- Bilge Pump: Automatically removes water from the lower engine compartment (standard in N–1200).
- Removable Ladder: Makes getting in and out easier, especially when you’re in chest-deep snow or marsh.
These accessories might not be flashy, but they’re created to support the real-world demands SHERP owners face in the field.
