This brand new premium recovery winch combines WARN’s proven large-frame winch platform with 100 feet of Spydura® synthetic rope, providing exceptional strength, reduced weight, and easier handling than traditional steel cable.
Designed for large pickup trucks, SUVs, overland vehicles, commercial vehicles, and off-road applications, the M12-S delivers a 12,000-pound maximum line pull using a powerful 12-volt series wound motor and durable three-stage planetary gear drive with a 261:1 gear reduction ratio.
