ARB ARW120SA Compact 12,000 lb Winch with Premium Synthetic Rope

The next generation of winch technology arrives with a compact, all-in-one motor control design that delivers clean fitment and smooth, reliable operation. Built with top-tier components and validated through rigorous performance testing, the integrated motor control unit sits within the winch itself, allowing it to work seamlessly with modern bumpers and vehicle sensors. A custom Albright contactor is built in to provide seamless power, while the direct-connection design enhances motor efficiency for steady, responsive control without the need for a separate control box. The system also features a compact pre-wired layout for quick installation, a 16-position clockable clutch handle for flexible mounting, and an IP68 rating that protects against dust and water intrusion. Engineered for durability and long service life, the ARB Winch incorporates a 4-stage hardened steel gearbox for maximum toughness, a one-piece bridging plate for improved torsional rigidity, and a tuned 12-volt motor that delivers fast line speeds. A gearbox-mounted brake ensures 100% load holding even in demanding conditions. Control is managed through a compact hand controller that works wirelessly at distances up to forty meters or via a five-meter lead for direct connection. A remote-mounted control plug enables hidden installations, while the 2.4GHz wireless link prevents signal interference. The system is completed with a 500-amp power isolation switch equipped with a stainless lanyard and protective dust cover. ARB Compact Winch 12,000 lbs with Premium Synthetic Rope

The ARB ARW120SA Compact Winch delivers dependable recovery performance in a space-conscious design engineered for modern vehicles. Its integrated motor control unit is built directly into the winch, eliminating the need for a separate control box and helping provide clean fitment around contemporary bumpers and vehicle sensors. A custom Albright contactor connects directly to the tuned 12-volt motor for efficient power delivery, smooth operation, and responsive line control. The compact pre-wired layout, flexible mounting options, and 16-position clockable clutch handle support a faster, more adaptable installation.
Built for demanding recovery conditions, the ARB ARW120SA features a four-stage hardened steel gearbox with a 171:1 gear ratio for a balanced combination of pulling power and line speed. A gearbox-mounted brake provides 100% load holding and enables powered unspooling under no load, helping simplify rope deployment without unnecessary strain on the winch. The one-piece bridging plate increases torsional strength, while the IP68-rated construction helps protect critical components from dust and water intrusion for reliable performance in challenging environments.
Control options include a compact hand controller with both 2.4GHz wireless operation and a direct-wired connection. The wireless system supports operation from distances up to 131 feet and uses sealed receiver circuitry to help reduce interference and remote conflicts. A 16.4-foot wired lead provides a dependable hardwired alternative, while the remote-mounted control plug supports low-profile or hidden winch installations. Included equipment also features a 500-amp power isolation switch with a universal mount, stainless steel lanyard, and protective dust cover. The ARB ARW120SA is supplied with premium synthetic rope for a complete, durable recovery solution.
