Warn positions this capacity for the largest UTVs and side-by-sides.

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 Most Capable Steel-Rope Powersports Winch Warn Assembles in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing else in Warn's US-assembled powersports range combines 5,500 lb with a steel line. The AXON 55 is what you fit to a four-seat or heavily loaded side-by-side that works in ground where synthetic rope would be a running cost, and it carries the whole flagship package with it: Motactor, digital control with load and temperature reporting, HUB receiver included, and Plow Mode.\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 55 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\u003eThe Motactor is why an AXON install looks tidier than it should. Motor and contactor are one unit, so there is no separate box to find a mounting point for, no extra run of heavy cable, and no exposed junction between them collecting salt and mud. On a machine where every spare inch is already spoken for, that is worth as much as any performance number.\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\u003eTwo ratings, and they cover different threats. IP68 means the winch can sit submerged without water getting into the motor or gear case. IP69K means a pressure washer at close range and high temperature will not force water past the seals either. If you clean your machine properly rather than gently, the second one is the one you are paying for.\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 55 at 5,500 lb and positions it for the largest 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 55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 110255\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.
