Overview
Pulling heavy rigs during recovery is the job this WARN heavyweight winch is built for. A series wound motor turns the drum, steel wire rope carries the load, and WARN's brake design holds the line when the motor stops, with extreme-duty sealing to shut out the elements.
Sealing and an aluminum control box cover target harsh weather and wet trails, and the powder coat goes over a primer undercoat for corrosion protection. The listing is thin: bolt pattern, gear ratio, line speed and the full box contents are not stated.
Who it's for
Owners of full size trucks and work rigs who pull heavy loads in wet conditions are the audience. Anyone who needs a confirmed bolt pattern or remote spec from the listing alone should check with WARN first.
Pros and cons
- High rated pulling capacity
- Extreme-duty sealing against the elements
- Aluminum cover protects control electronics
- High-speed series wound motor
- Mounting pattern, fairlead and remote not listed
- Heavy unit adds weight to the bumper
- Steel rope only, no synthetic option
- Gear ratio and line speed unstated
Performance notes
Pulling force depends on the series wound motor and the electrical supply feeding it. Extreme-duty sealing shields the internals from water and grit, and WARN's brake design governs how steadily the load is held when the motor stops. The listing gives no gear ratio or line speed, so pulling speed cannot be judged from it.
