ARB Winch 12,000LB Synthetic

Winches have become a core part of off-road preparation. They allow for both self-recovery and vehicle-to-vehicle recovery through obstacles and continue a trip without outside support. In fact, a winch is considered just as important as other aspects of a build such as armor and suspension.

Modern 4×4 vehicles have increased the need for reliable recovery equipment. Heavier curb weights, added accessories, and travel payloads raise recovery loads, while tighter front-end packaging and vehicle sensors reduce the space available for mounting. These factors have changed what a winch needs to provide. It must fit cleanly, draw power efficiently, and perform consistently under load.

The new ARB Winch was developed for these conditions. It uses an integrated motor control design and is offered in 10000 lb. capacities to suit a wide range of off-road vehicles. The platform delivers dependable recovery performance while supporting the fitment needs of modern builds.

The ARB Winch includes:

• Integrated motor control (no external control box)
• Custom Albright contactor with direct motor connection
• Tuned 12-volt series-wound motor for steady line speed
• Four-stage planetary gearbox with hardened gears
• Gearbox-mounted zero-drag brake with 100% load holding
• IP68 dust and water sealing
• Wireless and wired control options
• Remote-mounted control plug for hidden installs
• 500-amp power isolation switch included
