WARN: winches and accessories for quads, ATVs and UTVs

Founded by Arthur Warn in Seattle in 1948, WARN began by manufacturing free-wheeling hubs for four-wheel-drive vehicles. It introduced its first recreational winch in 1959 and developed dedicated ATV equipment during the 1980s. This history explains the brand's connection with vehicle recovery and work away from paved roads: from preparing a quad for a trail ride to equipping a UTV for tasks on difficult terrain.

WARN VRX, AXON and R-Series winches

At Motarea, you can compare WARN winches for quads, ATVs and UTVs from the VRX, AXON and R-Series ranges. The catalog includes steel-cable and synthetic-rope versions, different pulling capacities and drum configurations. VRX covers the 25, 35 and 45 models; AXON includes the 35, 45 and 55 versions and the short-drum 45RC; R-Series includes R25, R35, R45 and R60-S. The specific part number determines the equipment, included control and installation requirements.

When choosing, check the vehicle's mass, intended use, available space and mounting base, as well as the rated capacity. Installation must follow the power supply requirements, mounting pattern and instructions for the equipment. Sharing a brand or product range does not make all components interchangeable.

Mounting, ropes, fairleads and controls

Depending on the application, the installation can be completed with WARN mounting kits, removable Multi-Mount carriers and fairlead adapter plates. Each mount must suit the chosen vehicle and winch; check the mounting points, clearances and contents of the part number before installation.

For system maintenance, you will find replacement cables and ropes and WARN fairleads, as well as extensions. Roller and hawse fairleads must be selected to suit the equipment and the pulling line. The synthetic-rope conversion kits contain the components specified for each part number; contents and compatibility must be checked separately. There are also wired and wireless winch controls, alongside switches, contactors and wiring for the documented applications.

Accessories for preparing a recovery

WARN hooks and winch shackles are part of the connection equipment. The range also includes snatch blocks, tree protector straps and hook stops. Check the permitted load and intended use of each item: a connecting component, a replacement rope and a protective accessory perform different functions.
