ARB Synthetic Winch

Built for All Off-Road Recoveries

A reliable off-road winch is one of the most important recovery tools you can add to your 4x4. When you're stuck on a steep incline, buried in mud, or stranded on a remote trail, the difference between getting out and staying stuck often comes down to whether your winch performs under pressure.

The ARB Winch was built for exactly those moments. Engineered with purpose-built components and tested in the kind of conditions that put recovery gear to the test, it's a winch you can depend on, in any recovery situation.

SIMPLE, HASSLE-FREE INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

SIMPLE, HASSLE-FREE INSTALLATION

The ARB Winch comes prewired and ready to install, keeping the process straightforward from the start. The clutch handle (the lever that lets you disengage the spool so you can pull the rope out by hand before a recovery) adjusts to 16 different positions, so you can orient it to the most accessible spot regardless of how the winch sits in your bumper. And our low-profile design fits any winch-ready bumper across a wide range of 4x4 platforms.

The result is cleaner power delivery, a simpler install, and one less thing to worry about on the trail.

4-STAGE GEARBOX

4-STAGE GEARBOX

The ARB Winch uses a four-stage hardened steel gearbox designed to spread that load across more contact points, so no single gear takes the full force of a hard pull.

  • 171:1 gear ratio for fast line speeds
  • One-piece bridging plate eliminates flex and twist under load
ZERO-DRAG BRAKING SYSTEM

ZERO-DRAG BRAKING SYSTEM

The ARB Winch moves the brake to the gearbox, keeping it physically separated from the drum and the rope. Because of this the rope is not exposed to the excessive heat. Less heat means less wear on the synthetic line and a braking system that holds up over the long term.

  • Gearbox-mounted brakes privde 100% load holding
  • Unspool freely under no load
  • Faster setup
DUAL-CONNECTION REMOTE

DUAL-CONNECTION REMOTE

Our hand controller gives you two ways to operate the winch: wireless at up to 40 meters via a 2.4GHz connection, or hardwired via a five-meter lead when you want a direct connection.

  • Freedom to move around vehicle during recovery
  • Remote makes solo recovery easier
  • Hardwired connection available
Integrated Motor Control Means No Separate Control Box

Integrated Motor Control Means No Separate Control Box

Most off-road winches rely on a separate control box mounted somewhere in the engine bay. This is an extra component to wire, mount, and troubleshoot. The ARB Winch eliminates it entirely by integrating the motor control unit directly within the winch body itself.

At the center of the system is a custom Albright contactor, the same type of high-current switch used in demanding industrial applications. This contactor is connected directly to the motor. Because of the direct connection our design improves motor efficiency, reduces voltage drop under load, and removes an entire category of potential failure points from the system.

500-AMP POWER ISOLATION SWITCH

Every ARB Winch comes with a 500-amp power isolation switch, universal mount, stainless lanyard, and dust cover included as standard.

A power isolation switch is a master cut-off for your winch. When the winch isn't in use, the switch disconnects it completely from the vehicle's electrical system.

SYNTHETIC ROPE

The ARB Winch comes standard with grey synthetic winch rope and a protective sleeve to guard against trail hazards during a recovery.

For most, synthetic rope is the preferred option. Not only is it lighter than steel rope, it’s significantly safer if it breaks under tension and easier to handle with bare hands throughout the recovery process.

THE OFF-ROAD RECOVERY WINCH BUILT FOR THE LONG RUN

The ARB Winch isn't a compromise. Every component is spec'd for durability and long service life in harsh off-road environments, and every unit is tested for strength, efficiency, and reliability before it ships.

Whether you're building out a dedicated off-road recovery rig or adding a winch to a daily driver that sees serious trail time, the ARB Winch is built to perform every single time you need it.

For a complete off-road recovery setup, pair the ARB Winch with ARB's full recovery accessory lineup, including our recovery boards, straps, and fully load kits. Browse the full ARB Recovery Accessories range to build out a recovery kit that's ready for whatever the trail throws at you.
