A 7\/16\" wire rope under that load stores an enormous amount of energy, and everyone who works around winches has heard what happens when one lets go. The M15-S puts 80' of 3\/8\" Spydura Pro on the same large-frame Heavyweight chassis instead: heat-treated for tensile strength, sleeved against the heat the drum generates on a long pull, and terminated in an alloy EPIC hook. It carries the same 4.6 hp series-wound motor, the same 315:1 three-stage planetary gearbox and the same best-in-class cone brake as the wire-rope M15. It just fails safe rather than dangerously, and it weighs a great deal less in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn M15-S winch with 15,000 lb rated line pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80' of 3\/8\" Spydura Pro synthetic rope with temperature-resistant sleeve, factory spooled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy EPIC hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum hawse fairlead, 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\u003e80' of Heat-Treated Spydura Pro Synthetic Rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpydura Pro is Warn's higher-specification synthetic line. It is heat-treated to raise tensile strength and runs inside a temperature-resistant sleeve where it wraps the drum, which is where heat from a long, heavy pull concentrates.

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":48932767727860,"sku":"97730","price":2650.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/warn-m15-s-winch-97730-front-elevation-synthetic-rope-hawse-fairlead-epic-hook.jpg?v=1785262751","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/warn-m15-s-self-recovery-winch-15000-lb-80-ft-synthetic-rope-97730","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
