Your Last, Best Hope When You Need A Rope

vendor.2012.warn.vantage-winch.on-side-x-side.jpgWe’ve all been there - knee or even seat deep in muck and mire while friends watch safely from the edge.  They’re too far away to be of much help, none too anxious to wade into the quagmire and save you from a problem of your own making, and truth be told, it’s always a little amusing to see somebody else stuck anyway.  You’re pretty much on your own.  At this point, you’ve only got two possible sources of help you can count on: divine intervention, and a WARN winch.  No doubt, past indiscretion has cost you mightily with the almighty, so you had better count on Warn.  

Shortly after the first ATV was introduced, somebody decided to see just how much mud, water, and rocks it could cross.  Warn was already there waiting for the inevitable outcome, and since the company had been producing winches for other vehicles since 1959, they knew a thing or two about pulling people and vehicles out of a jam.  In 1988 they took things one step further with the introduction of a dedicated ATV winch, and today the WARN powersports lineup has again expanded.  Two new product lines include a total of 12 new winches all specifically designed for ATVs and Side x Sides.  

There are a lot of features we like with the Warn winches, but it doesn’t take long to discover one of their best features long before you leave the shop.  They fit well!  We really like how there is no cutting, drilling, welding, or bending required for installation, and that’s definitely not the case with some other models of winches.  Warn designed their winches and mounting kits to bolt directly on your vehicles chassis.  That makes installation a LOT easier, but also insures the force from pulling is distributed across the chassis and not concentrated at a couple points, possibly damaging it.  Warn also fully tested their kits to insure the winch is capable of everything they say it is; because when you need a winch, it’s the wrong time to discover the product you’re counting on can’t get the job done.  Say hello to your new best friends!vendor.2012.warn.winch-accessories-kit.studio.jpg

Warn Power

The WARN ProVantage winches are their top-of-the line winches built from premium parts and designed for all the abuse you can dish out.  Features include a powerful permanent magnet motor, a smooth, reliable three-stage planetary gear train and metal gear housing, an easy-to-use clutch control dial, and full sealing to keep out dirt and water.  A patented roller disc brake provides excellent control when in use, and a corrosion-resistant black powder-coated finish with a black hook and tie rods completes the package.  Available in capacities ranging from 2,500 lbs. to 4,500 lbs., the ProVantage winches also come with a choice of durable, aircraft-grade wire rope or lightweight, easy-to-handle synthetic rope.  They also carry a limited, lifetime warranty on mechanical parts and a three-year warranty on electrical components.
