Warn positions this capacity for UTVs and side-by-sides. Pull enough rope off to work on the lower layers for a hard recovery, or rig a snatch block and halve the load on the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50' of 1\/4\" Steel Wire Rope on a Roller Fairlead\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the steel-rope build. 50' of 1\/4\" (6.4mm) 7x19 aircraft wire rope runs over a roller fairlead, which is the combination that survives being dragged across rock, gravel and stumps without you having to think about the line. It costs less than synthetic and it is far more tolerant of abrasion and heat. The trade is weight and the broken strands steel eventually develops, so wear gloves once the rope has some seasons on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Best-Documented Steel-Rope AXON\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the same winch as the AXON 45-S, including the HUB Wireless Receiver in the box and the published 239:1 gear ratio, differing only in that it carries 1\/4\" steel rope on a roller fairlead. That makes it the pick for anyone who wants the flagship control system and Plow Mode on a machine that works in abrasive ground. It weighs about six and a half pounds more than the synthetic version, and every ounce of that is line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlow Mode: Travel Limits and One-Touch Blade Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlow Mode turns the AXON 45 into a proper plow lift instead of a winch you are using as one. You program an upper and a lower travel limit, and the winch will not run the blade past either, which is what stops you from over-raising into the rack or dropping the blade further than the linkage wants to go. The one-touch Auto Move option runs the blade to a limit on its own, so you are not holding a control down with one hand while steering with the other. Plow Mode runs through the Warn app and needs a HUB Wireless Receiver and a smartphone to work, and the HUB receiver is included with this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotactor: Motor and Contactor in One Sealed Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining the motor and the contactor into a single sealed assembly is the AXON's most practical piece of engineering. It shortens the install because there is no control box to mount and wire, and it removes the pair of exposed high-current terminals that sit between motor and contactor on an ordinary winch. Fewer connections in the weather is fewer things to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Control With Real Feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AXON's control system is digital rather than a simple polarity switch. The rockerbar switch reports motor temperature, load information and vehicle battery condition, so you can see the winch working hard before it stops working. On a long or repeated pull that is the difference between backing off for a minute and cooking a motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Piece Tie Plate for Structural Rigidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAXON uses a single-piece tie plate rather than separate tie bars. It resists the twisting that a hard off-center pull puts through a winch body, which keeps the gear train and drum in alignment under exactly the loads that would otherwise start opening a housing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIP68 and IP69K Sealing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIP68 covers continuous immersion. IP69K adds high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down, which is the rating that actually matters to most owners, because more winches are killed by a pressure washer held too close than by a water crossing. Between the two ratings there is very little an ATV or side-by-side winch encounters that is outside the specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned, Engineered, Tested and Assembled in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarn designs, engineers, tests and assembles the AXON line in the United States.

You size it by machine and by how hard you expect the winch to work: Warn rates the AXON 45 at 4,500 lb and positions it for UTVs and side-by-sides. A winch running near its rating draws its highest current, runs its hottest and moves the line slowest, so buying a size up is buying margin rather than bragging rights. The fitment question that actually decides whether you can use this winch is the mount. Powersports winches bolt to a vehicle-specific mount kit that is sold separately, and the mount has to match both the bolt pattern (3.0\" x 6.59\" (76.2mm x 167.4mm), 4 holes) and the physical space behind your bumper. Confirm the mount kit for your machine before ordering. Do not use this winch to recover a full-size truck or SUV; it is not rated for that and Warn builds a separate line for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e AXON 45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 110245\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVehicle Class:\u003c\/b\u003e Powersports, ATV and UTV.

Route the power leads to the battery away from moving suspension, hot exhaust and steering components, and keep the run as short and as well supported as you can. Mount the Rockerbar switch where you can reach it without taking your eyes off the machine, and put the HUB Wireless Receiver somewhere dry and clear of metal that would shield its signal.

The company designs and engineers in Clackamas, Oregon, and the AXON is designed, engineered, tested and assembled in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAXON is the top of Warn's powersports range and the place where the company puts its newer thinking. The Motactor combines the motor and the contactor into a single sealed unit, which removes a separate control box from the install and shortens the wiring run. The control system is digital rather than a simple polarity switch, so the winch reports motor temperature, load and battery condition back to you instead of just running until something gives. Sealing is rated IP68 and IP69K, which covers high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down as well as immersion. Plow Mode, the feature this generation is named for, turns the same winch into a plow lift with programmable travel limits. The mechanical warranty runs for the life of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer. Every winch we ship is new and factory boxed, carries the full Warn factory warranty, and is supported through Warn's own dealer and service network.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48932743774452,"sku":"110245","price":619.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/warn-axon-45-powersports-winch-110245-front-elevation-steel-rope-roller-fairlead.jpg?v=1785262690","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/warn-axon-45-powersports-winch-4500-lb-50-ft-steel-rope-110245","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
