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 9,500lb Short Drum 12V electric winch with synthetic rope delivers up to 9,500lb (4,309kg) of rated line pull in a compact short-drum design built specifically for installations where space is limited. With a powerful 6.1hp motor, 196:1 planetary gearing and revolutionary external braking system, it delivers the serious recovery performance expected from the Samurai range while measuring just 456mm wide.
9,500lb of Serious Recovery Power. The 6.1hp (4.6kW) 12V motor delivers up to 9,500lb of rated line pull, giving you the pulling capacity needed for demanding 4x4 recovery. With a no-load line speed of up to 10.2m/min, the Samurai Short Drum is built to combine substantial pulling power with fast line deployment when time matters.
Serious Performance Where Space Is Limited. The 456mm-wide short-drum design is the defining advantage of this Samurai. By reducing the overall width without sacrificing its 9,500lb rated line pull, it provides a practical solution for vehicles where conventional full-width winches simply won't fit.
Synthetic Rope for Easier Handling. The 9.5mm x 14m synthetic rope provides a lightweight and manageable recovery line, making it easier to deploy and position by hand. The aluminium hawse fairlead provides a smooth path for the rope, while the removable heavy-duty hook gives you a secure connection point when setting up a recovery.
External Braking That Keeps the Drum Cooler. The revolutionary external brake system moves the braking action away from the drum, helping eliminate heat build-up during demanding pulls. This provides controlled load holding and smooth braking while helping reduce heat-related stress within the winch.
Built Around Heavy-Duty Internal Components. The Samurai combines full-steel planetary gearing with a high-performance series-wound, double-sealed motor, solid brass contacts and copper brush holders. Together, these components provide the robust foundation needed to handle repeated recovery loads while maintaining efficient power delivery.
Protection for Tough Off-Road Conditions. Heavy-duty four-pin waterproof contactors, a double-sealed motor and IP67 protection help defend the winch against dust and water. Maintenance-free drum bearings also help reduce servicing requirements, making the Samurai well suited to demanding off-road environments.
Power Efficiently Delivered to the Drum. The 600A Silver Tip Contactor is designed to provide reliable, high-performance electrical connections, helping the Samurai make effective use of its 12V power supply. Combined with the efficient full-steel planetary gearing, it helps turn available electrical power into dependable pulling performance.
Take Control from the Best Position. The Samurai 9,500lb Short Drum comes with both 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.
Compact Outside. Serious Capability Inside. Despite its narrow 456mm width, the Samurai Short Drum still delivers a 9,500lb rated line pull. At 27kg, it provides substantial recovery capability without adding unnecessary bulk, making it particularly well suited to specialist 4x4 installations where available mounting space is restricted.
Ready for Demanding Recovery Work. The Samurai 9,500lb Short Drum is supplied with 14m 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 essential components needed to install the winch and put its performance to work.
With its 9,500lb rated line pull, compact 456mm short-drum design, high-output 12V motor, external braking system and synthetic rope, the Warrior Winches Samurai 9,500lb Short Drum is built for serious 4x4 recovery where installation space is just as important as pulling power. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it gives you Samurai performance in a package designed to fit where conventional winches cannot.
