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 8,000lb 12V electric winch with steel rope delivers up to 8,000lb (3,628kg) of rated line pull, giving you the recovery strength to tackle the toughest off-road situations. Its high-performance 5.8hp motor, 196:1 planetary gearing and advanced external braking system work together to provide a powerful and controlled recovery solution for demanding 4x4 applications.
Serious Pulling Power Without Wasting Time. The 5.8hp (4.3kW) 12V motor delivers up to 8,000lb of rated line pull, while providing a no-load line speed of up to 10.2m/min. That combination gives you the pulling strength required for demanding recoveries while helping get the line moving quickly when time matters.
Advanced Braking That Keeps Heat Away from the Drum. The revolutionary external brake system moves braking heat away from the winch drum, helping reduce heat build-up during demanding pulls. It provides controlled load holding and smooth braking, giving you greater confidence when recovering a vehicle on steep or difficult terrain.
Built for Heavy-Duty 4x4 Recovery. The Samurai uses full HRC50 steel planetary gearing alongside a high-performance series-wound, double-sealed motor and solid brass contacts. Together, these components provide a durable mechanical and electrical foundation designed to handle repeated recovery work and demanding loads.
29 Metres of Durable Steel Rope. The 8.3mm x 29m steel rope gives you substantial line capacity for positioning your recovery point, while the heavy-duty stainless steel roller fairlead helps guide the rope smoothly onto the drum. The removable heavy-duty hook provides a secure connection when setting up your recovery.
Protection When the Conditions Get Tough. The double-sealed motor, heavy-duty waterproof contactors and IP67 sealing help protect the winch against dust and water. This makes the Samurai well suited to the mud, rain, dirt and harsh conditions commonly encountered during serious off-road recovery.
Control from Where You Need It. The Samurai 8,000lb comes with both a 3.8m wired remote and an upgraded 2.4G wireless remote, giving you the flexibility to operate the winch from the vehicle or position yourself where you have the clearest view of the recovery. The wireless remote is included with the 12V version.
Engineered for Efficient Performance. The Samurai's full-steel planetary gearing is designed to transfer motor power efficiently while maintaining the strength required for heavy recovery loads. The high-performance motor and 600A Silver Tip Contactor also help provide efficient electrical performance, supporting strong pulling capability without unnecessary energy loss.
Ready for Serious Recovery Work. The Samurai 8,000lb is supplied with the steel rope, heavy-duty stainless steel fairlead, battery leads, wired and wireless remote controls, 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 8,000lb rated line pull, high-output 12V motor, external braking system, full-steel planetary gearing and comprehensive protection, the Warrior Winches Samurai 8,000lb is built for demanding 4x4 recovery where performance, speed and control matter.
