On a side-by-side that spends its time in timber, rock or on a job site, steel is the rope you stop thinking about. Warn ships it with a corded remote and a dash-mounted control switch, and backs it with a five year mechanical warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn R45 powersports winch, rated at 4,500 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50' of 1\/4\" (6.4mm) wire rope, factory spooled on the drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller fairlead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged clevis hook with Warn hook strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorded remote and dash-mounted control switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring harness and terminal hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarn installation and operating instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific winch mount kit NOT included, sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h0iv93OrU3Y\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4,500 lb of Rated Pull for UTVs and side-by-sides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarn rates the R45 at 4,500 lb on the first layer of the drum, and positions this capacity for UTVs and side-by-sides. As with any winch, the effective pull falls as the drum fills, so for a hard recovery spool out enough rope to work on the lower layers or rig a snatch block to 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) 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\u003eMaximum Durability per Dollar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you rank Warn's powersports winches by how much abuse they absorb for the money, the R45 is at the top. It is 4,500 lb of capacity on 1\/4\" steel rope over a roller fairlead, at the lowest price Warn charges for that combination. It is also the heaviest winch in the R-Series at about 36 lb, which is the honest cost of steel line at this rating. For a working side-by-side where the winch is a tool and not a talking point, it is the sensible buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Metal Three-Stage Planetary Gear Train\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gear train is all metal and runs three planetary stages, which is the same architecture Warn uses further up the range rather than a cheaper two-stage set. It is the single component that most decides whether a standard-duty winch is still smooth after a few seasons, and on the R45 it is not where Warn saved money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIP67 Sealing Against Water, Dirt and Debris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSealing is IP67: dust-tight, and rated for temporary immersion rather than for sitting underwater indefinitely. For a winch mounted at the front of an ATV or side-by-side that is the specification that matters most, because grit in the gear case does more winches in than any single hard pull ever does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Load-Holding Brake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarn specifies a spring-type automatic brake here. It engages without input the moment the motor stops turning, which is what lets you work in stages on a difficult recovery instead of committing to one continuous pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Housing That Fits Where Others Will Not\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe R-Series was drawn small for its rating. On most machines the binding constraint is not how hard the winch pulls, it is whether it physically sits in the space behind the bumper on the mount you can actually buy. A winch that does not fit is not a candidate no matter what the box says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered in Oregon and Backed for Five Years\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe R-Series is engineered in-house at Warn's Oregon headquarters, built to Warn's own specifications and put through Warn's testing and quality-control programme.

You size it by machine and by how hard you expect the winch to work: Warn rates the R45 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 (6.59\" x 3.0\", 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 R45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 110045\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 control switch where you can reach it without taking your eyes off the machine. Before you rely on it, disengage the clutch and pull the rope out by hand, then power it back in under a light load so the first layer beds evenly on the drum.

The company is headquartered in Clackamas, Oregon, and the R-Series was engineered in-house there, built to Warn's own specifications and put through Warn's testing and quality-control programme before it was allowed to wear the red W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R-Series is Warn's answer to the standard-duty end of the powersports market, and Warn is straightforward about what it is: an Oregon-engineered winch manufactured offshore to hit a price, rather than a US-assembled one. What it does not compromise on is the hardware that decides whether a winch survives a season. It runs an all-metal three-stage planetary gear train, an automatic load-holding brake, IP67 sealing against water and grit, and a compact housing that fits mounts other winches will not. Warn backs it with a five-year mechanical and three-year electrical warranty through a US-based support team, which is a longer mechanical term than most standard-duty winches in this class carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized Warn dealer.
