Specialty / Heavyweight Winches

For heavyweight vehicles, or specialty competition vehicles, WARN offers winches engineered for fast pulls, or the intense gear train strain for extra heavy pulls.

The WARN heavyweight winches are capable of pulling up to 16,500 lbs. and feature heavy-duty carrier plates that are engineered to handle the massive gear train stress generated when recovering the big loads. All these tried-and-true winches have Albright contactors and removable control packs for versatility when mounting to a vehicle. No matter if you choose an M12, M15, or 16.5ti, you’ll have the option of lightweight, easy-to-handle Spydura Pro synthetic rope and a hawse fairlead, or durable steel cable and a roller fairlead.

From the endless summers in the Mojave to the frozen Alaskan frontier, our rugged Classic and Specialty winches have a well-earned reputation for getting it done in the trenches, on the trails, and in the toughest competitions throughout the off-road world—one fast line pull at a time. This lineup includes tried-and-true favorites like the compact, powerful 9.0Rc designed for rock crawlers, and the legendary M8247 with its super-fast line speed, long rope length, and upright design—a direct descendant of the winch that started it all for Warn.

All these winches are time-tested crowd favorites, and all leave the WARN factory in Clackamas, Oregon. They are all covered by a limited-lifetime warranty for mechanical components, and a seven-year warranty for electrical parts.
