Same large-frame chassis, same 4.6 hp series-wound motor, same 261:1 three-stage planetary gearbox and the same 12,000 lb rating, but the drum carries 100' of 3\/8\" Spydura Pro synthetic rope instead. Spydura Pro is heat-treated for tensile strength and runs inside a temperature-resistant sleeve where it passes the drum, which is the part of a synthetic rope's life that gets hottest and wears fastest. It weighs a fraction of steel, it does not store energy under tension, and you can coil it without gloves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn M12-S winch with 12,000 lb rated line pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100' of 3\/8\" Spydura Pro synthetic rope with temperature-resistant sleeve, factory spooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum hawse fairlead and alloy hook, as shown in Warn's product photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote switch with 12' lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable contactor control pack with Albright contactor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 gauge, 72\" battery leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn operator's manual and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100' of Heat-Treated Spydura Pro Synthetic Rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpydura Pro is Warn's higher-specification synthetic line, heat-treated to raise tensile strength and fitted with a temperature-resistant sleeve at the drum end. That sleeve matters more than it sounds: on a long pull, the drum and brake generate real heat, and heat is what degrades ordinary synthetic rope from the inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafer, Lighter Line Handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSynthetic rope carries almost no stored energy under load. If it parts it drops rather than recoiling, which is the main reason recovery professionals moved away from wire. It also weighs a fraction of an equivalent steel cable, so re-spooling by hand after a recovery stops being the worst part of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12,000 lb on a Large-Frame Heavyweight Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frame is the reason this is a Heavyweight rather than a big number on a light winch. Large-frame architecture, heavy-duty drum supports and carrier plates sized for the gear train stress a full-capacity pull generates, which is what lets it take repeated 12,000 lb recoveries rather than one heroic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e261:1 Three-Stage Planetary Gear Train\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 261:1 reduction turns 4.6 hp into 12,000 lb of pull. It is a deep ratio that trades line speed for torque and for a gearbox that is comfortable holding a heavy load, which is the right compromise on a truck winch that gets used for long recoveries rather than quick tugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePull-by-Layer, Published\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12,000 lb on layer one, then 10,054 lb, 8,651 lb, 7,592 lb and 6,764 lb as the drum fills. With 100' of rope this build sits lower on the drum than the 125' steel version at the same working distance, which quietly helps your effective pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Direct-Drive Cone Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cone brake holds the load on the drum instead of leaning on the gearbox to back-drive slowly.

It bolts to the industry-standard 10\" x 4.5\" pattern, but at 24.08\" long it is a large-frame winch, so confirm your bumper or winch plate is rated for a Heavyweight-series unit.

The hubs turned into winches, and the winches turned Warn into the name that off-roaders, ranchers, utility fleets and search-and-rescue crews reach for when something has to come out of somewhere it should not be. The Heavyweight series is the top of that line, and Warn designs, engineers and assembles it in Clackamas, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates Warn from the price-led end of the winch market is that it treats a winch as a safety device rather than an accessory. Series-wound motors, real cone brakes, sealed contactor control packs and gear trains rated for the number printed on the box are the reason decades-old Warn winches still pull. It is also why Warn publishes full pull-by-layer and amp-draw tables instead of a single headline figure, and why the mechanical side of the warranty runs for the life of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer. Every winch we sell is new, factory-boxed, covered by the full Warn factory warranty, and supported through Warn's own dealer network.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48932761436404,"sku":"97720","price":2409.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/warn-m12-s-winch-97720-front-elevation-synthetic-rope-hawse-fairlead.jpg?v=1785262739","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/warn-m12-s-self-recovery-winch-12000-lb-100-ft-synthetic-rope-97720","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
