The Warrior Winches Samurai Range is our performance-focused range of electric winches, engineered for drivers who demand serious recovery capability without compromising on speed, efficiency or control. Built for challenging off-road conditions, Samurai winches combine high-output motors, heavy-duty internal components and advanced braking technology to deliver confident performance when the trail gets tough.
The Samurai 12,000lb 12V electric winch with synthetic rope delivers up to 12,000lb (5,443kg) of rated line pull, providing the serious recovery capability needed for heavy 4x4s and demanding off-road situations. With a high-output 6.7hp motor, 253:1 planetary gearing and revolutionary external braking system, it combines substantial pulling power with the lighter handling and easier deployment of synthetic rope.
12,000lb of Serious Recovery Power. The 6.7hp (5.0kW) 12V motor delivers up to 12,000lb (5,443kg) of rated line pull, giving you the strength needed when vehicle weight, terrain and recovery conditions push beyond the capabilities of smaller winches. At full rated load, the Samurai delivers a line speed of 1.4m/min, with speeds increasing significantly as the load decreases.
Synthetic Rope for Easier Handling. The 11mm x 25m synthetic rope provides substantial recovery reach while being easier to handle and position than traditional steel rope. With a lower overall weight than the steel-rope configuration, it makes manual rope deployment and recovery setup less demanding without sacrificing the Samurai's 12,000lb rated pulling capacity.
External Braking for Controlled Recovery. The revolutionary external brake system moves braking action away from the drum, helping eliminate the heat build-up associated with conventional in-drum braking. This provides controlled load holding during demanding pulls while helping reduce heat-related stress within the winch.
Heavy-Duty Gearing for Heavy Loads. The 253:1 planetary gearing system uses HRC50 full-steel gears to provide the strength needed for serious recovery work. Designed to transfer the motor's power efficiently, the gearing gives the Samurai a robust mechanical foundation for repeated heavy-load operation.
High-Output Power When You Need It. The series-wound motor with solid brass contacts and copper brush holders is designed for durable, efficient operation, helping deliver the substantial pulling power required from a 12V electrical system. Combined with the 600A Silver Tip Contactor, the electrical system is engineered for demanding recovery work.
Protection Built for the Trail. The Samurai 12,000lb features IP67 waterproof sealing, heavy-duty 4-pin waterproof contactors and a double-sealed motor to help protect key components from dust and water. This makes it well suited to muddy trails, wet conditions and harsh off-road environments.
Get the Rope Into Position Quickly. The manual clutch allows you to disengage the gearing and pull the synthetic rope out by hand, making it easier to position the recovery line before starting the winch. The aluminium hawse fairlead provides a smooth guide for the rope as it enters and exits the drum.
Take Control from the Best Position. The Samurai 12,000lb comes supplied with a 3.8m wired remote and upgraded 2.4G wireless remote, giving you the flexibility to operate the winch from the vehicle or from a position where you have a clear view of the recovery. This helps you monitor the vehicle, rope and recovery point while the winch is operating.
Serious Capability Without Unnecessary Rope Weight. At 32kg, the synthetic-rope Samurai 12,000lb provides substantial 12,000lb recovery capability while avoiding the additional weight and handling characteristics associated with steel rope. Measuring 559 x 160 x 248mm, it remains a substantial winch designed for applications where pulling power takes priority.
Ready for Demanding 4x4 Recovery. The Samurai 12,000lb is supplied with 25m of synthetic rope, aluminium hawse fairlead, heavy-duty battery leads, 3.8m wired remote, 2.4G wireless remote, removable heavy-duty hook, isolation switch and stainless steel mounting hardware. This provides the key equipment needed to install the winch and put its performance to work.
With its 12,000lb rated line pull, high-output 12V motor, 253:1 planetary gearing, external braking system and 25m synthetic rope, the Warrior Winches Samurai 12,000lb is built for serious 4x4 recovery when standard winching capability isn't enough. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it combines substantial pulling power with controlled operation and easier rope handling for demanding off-road recovery.
