Features
- Plow Mode with travel limits: Plow Mode lets you program an upper and a lower stop for your plow blade, so the winch will not lift or drop it past either point. Auto Move then sends the blade to a stop with one touch. It runs through the HUB Wireless Receiver and a smartphone; the HUB is in the box with the 45, 45RC and 55 models and bought separately for the 35 and 35-S.
- Motactor: motor plus contactor: Warn builds the motor and the contactor into one sealed unit it calls the Motactor. With no separate contactor box to mount and wire, Warn says it saves space and cuts install time.
- Digital control with feedback: Every AXON comes with Warn's Rockerbar digital dash switch, which runs the winch and reports back while it works. Add the HUB receiver and a phone, and you get gauges for motor temperature, load and vehicle battery, plus wireless control that Warn rates past 100'.
- One-piece tie plate: Where many winches use separate tie bars, the AXON frame is joined by a single-piece tie plate. Warn uses it to add structural rigidity across the whole winch.
- IP68 and IP69K sealing: Warn rates the AXON at IP68 and IP69K. The first covers the winch sitting under water; the second covers close-range, high-pressure, hot-water washing, so river crossings and a hard clean-up stay inside the rating.
- Built and tested in USA: Warn designs, engineers, tests and assembles every AXON in the United States. It backs the mechanical parts for the life of the winch and the electrical parts for 3 years.
Description & Fitment
The AXON 45RC (110340) keeps the 4,500 lb rating but moves it into the compact AXON body: 13.31" long on Warn's drawing, on the shorter 3" x 4.87" bolt pattern used by the 35. The trade is rope length, with 27' of 1/4" Spydura synthetic on the drum instead of 50', fed through an Epic hawse fairlead. Warn charts 16.3 ft/min unloaded and 7.5 ft/min at rated pull, and the HUB Wireless Receiver, Rockerbar switch and corded remote socket are all included.
Fitment & Compatibility
Choose the right version: this is the compact, short-rope AXON 45RC. Full 50' of synthetic on the long drum: AXON 45-S (110240). Steel rope on the long drum: AXON 45 (110245). Compact body at 3,500 lb with 50' of rope: AXON 35-S (110230) or AXON 35 (110235).
Not included: the corded remote itself (the socket and harness are included) and the vehicle-specific winch mount kit, both sold separately.
About Warn
Warn Industries is a winch and recovery equipment maker headquartered in Clackamas, Oregon. Its range covers truck and SUV winches such as ZEON and the Heavyweight series, the AXON, VRX and R-Series powersports winches, the HUB Wireless Receiver and the portable Drill Winch.
Warn bills the AXON as its top powersports winch, built around Plow Mode, the Motactor and digital control. Warn says AXON design, engineering, testing and assembly all happen in the USA, and it offers the line at 3,500 lb, 4,500 lb and 5,500 lb with steel or synthetic rope.
Buying Warn from Prestige Truck. Warn asks for proof of purchase, a dated sales receipt showing the Warn product, with any warranty claim, so keep your Prestige Truck order receipt with your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it share the AXON 35 pattern?
Yes. Warn's drawings give the 45RC the same 13.31" length and 3" x 4.87" four-hole pattern as the AXON 35. Confirm the fit with your mount's maker before ordering.
Why only 27' of rope?
That is how Warn builds the 45RC: a shorter rope lets the full 4,500 lb rating fit the compact drum. For 50' of rope at 4,500 lb, look at the AXON 45-S (110240).
Do I need a winch mount?
Yes. An AXON bolts to a vehicle-specific winch mount kit, sold separately. Warn calls for class 8.8 metric (grade 5) or better bolts and says never to weld the mounting bolts.
What does the HUB receiver add?
Phone control that Warn rates past 100', live gauges for motor temperature, load and battery, and Plow Mode. It is included with the AXON 45, 45-S, 45RC, 55 and 55-S and sold separately for the 35 and 35-S.
Can it go through deep water?
Warn rates the AXON IP68 for submersion and IP69K for close-range, high-pressure washing. Follow Warn's manual for rope and drum care after a muddy or wet pull.
What does the warranty cover?
Warn covers the mechanical parts for the life of the winch and the electrical parts for 3 years from purchase, for the original buyer. Wire rope, synthetic rope and finish are excluded. Contact us to start a claim.
Installation
Here's the short version. Follow Warn's install sheet (below) for the exact positions and hardware.
- Read Warn's instructions and pick a mounting spot strong enough for the winch's full rated pull, with the fairlead warning label on top.
- Bolt the winch to the mount through its 3" x 4.87" pattern (Warn's drawing for this model) with class 8.8 metric (grade 5) or better hardware, torqued to 24.5 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Never weld the mounting bolts, and finish the winch and hook before any wiring.
- Disconnect the vehicle battery, negative cable first, before touching any wiring.
- Mount the Rockerbar dash switch, and the optional corded remote socket, where they clear every vehicle control.
- Wire the winch to the AXON 45/55 diagram, fitting the supplied terminal boots and keeping cables away from sharp edges, hot parts, battery terminals and moving parts.
- Run Warn's system check: fasteners tight and torqued, every connection correct and tight, no bare wire or damaged insulation.
