WARN built this AC powered station winch for fixed mounting in shops, docks and farms where long duty cycles matter. It runs on mains power, so it is not a vehicle recovery winch.

Overview
WARN designed this winch as a fixed station unit powered by household or shop AC current instead of a vehicle battery. A fan cooled induction motor drives a planetary gear set, and a mechanical brake holds the load when you stop.
Running on AC gives it a long duty cycle for repeated pulls, which battery winches cannot match. It needs mains power and a fixed mount, so a truck bumper is the wrong place for it.
Who it's for
Workshops pulling equipment onto lifts or docks hauling boats from a fixed point will use the long duty cycle. Off road drivers need a twelve volt winch.
Pros and cons
- AC power for long duty cycles
- Enclosed fan cooled motor
- Mechanical brake holds loads
- Long steel wire rope
- Needs mains power
- Heavy to mount
- Mounting hardware not listed
- Line speed not stated
Performance notes
A totally enclosed, fan cooled induction motor runs cooler than a series wound twelve volt motor, which is why it suits long pulls. The planetary gear reduction multiplies torque, and the mechanical brake locks the drum when power stops. The sliding ring clutch frees the drum for pulling out cable by hand.
