The ARB 12,000 lb Synthetic Winch represents the next generation of winch engineering, built around a compact, integrated motor control system that delivers clean fitment, smooth operation, and exceptional reliability. Designed for modern vehicles equipped with advanced sensors and tight bumper tolerances, the winch’s all‑in‑one control unit sits inside the housing—eliminating the need for a bulky external control box and improving installation flexibility.
A custom Albright contactor provides seamless power delivery, while the direct‑connection layout increases motor efficiency for faster, more responsive performance. The winch features a 4‑stage hardened steel gearbox for maximum strength, a one‑piece bridging plate for improved torsional rigidity, and a tuned 12‑volt motor that delivers fast line speeds under load. With an IP68 dust and water rating, the system is built to withstand harsh environments and long‑term use.
Control is handled through a compact dual‑mode remote that operates via 2.4GHz wireless up to 40 meters or through a 5‑meter wired connection. A remote‑mounted control plug allows hidden winch installations without sacrificing accessibility. The included 500‑amp isolation switch features a stainless lanyard and protective dust cover for safe, reliable operation.
