Warrior Winches Gladiator 8000 - Armortek Extreme 12V Winch

Warrior Winches Gladiator Series is part of our new premium range, where we have developed a winch with both performance and design in mind. It is perfectly suited for off-road use, trailers, trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, 4x4s, and smaller recovery operations. The Gladiator Series continues to redefine winching with unmatched durability, performance, and style. In our pursuit of the perfect winch, we have developed a new 2-in-1 hand controller. The controller is wired until you unplug the cable, at which point it automatically switches to wireless mode with a range of 15 meters. If you want it wired again, simply plug the cable back in. You can also easily recharge the handset via USB-C when not in use. The winch features built-in thermal overload protection, so you don’t have to worry about overheating or damage when winching in extreme environments or during long, tough pulls. As a step up in the premium class, the Gladiator Series comes equipped with the Armortek Extreme synthetic rope, the same used on Warrior Winches’ military-grade winches. It features an abrasion-resistant outer sheath that makes it extremely tough against wear and prevents snagging or breakage. Our new patented external brake design keeps heat away from the drum, reducing stress and wear on your winch rope, while our HRC50 full steel gears provide superior durability and high efficiency for sustained pulling power. We have also equipped the Gladiator Series with comprehensive IP68 waterproofing for both electronics and mechanics, along with a silver-copper motor with copper brush holders. To protect the winch against corrosion, in addition to the IP rating, it features a special powder coating and stainless steel mounting hardware. The electronics are housed in an aluminum cover—rather than the typical plastic—mounted above the drum, but can be removed for custom placement. Combine all this with Warrior Winches’ limited lifetime warranty, including 7 years on electrical components, and you have a world-class winch. These winches are our top premium choice for a reason—and they look as good as they perform. Outstanding features: - The motor and gearbox are fully protected in all-metal armor, and we’ve gone a step further by encasing the control unit in robust aluminum for maximum protection. - The durable aluminum housing, outdoor anti-corrosion powder coating, and stainless steel mounting hardware provide exceptional corrosion resistance, proven by over 480 hours of salt spray testing. - 2-in-1 wired/wireless rechargeable remote control for easy operation in any situation. A USB charging cable lets you recharge the remote in your vehicle. - The thermal overload protection prevents damage to the winch and ensures your winch is protected during extreme use. - Warrior’s high-performance motor and gearbox deliver powerful pulling capacity while maintaining extremely low power consumption, so you won’t drain your battery. - The impressive no-load line speed of 8.5 meters per minute is the fastest in this segment. - Supplied with our Armortek Extreme synthetic winch rope—the most advanced in the range. No other 4x4 winch lineup offers a comparable encapsulated synthetic rope. - 600 amp Silver Tip contactor provides greater electrical efficiency and withstands higher temperatures, while a low-corrosion silver-copper motor with copper brush holders ensures longer motor life. - HRC50 full steel gears deliver superior durability and long service life. - Comprehensive IP68-rated waterproof sealing keeps water and other elements out. - Our revolutionary external brake design means less heat and wear is transferred to your winch rope, extending its lifespan. - Includes a durable mounting plate for the control unit—no need to purchase an extra relocation kit. - The large steel winch drum reduces wear on the Armortek Extreme synthetic rope. Completely dustproof. Withstands temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. Professional Winches ARMORTEK EXTREME SYNTHETIC ROPES: The new ultra-strong Armortek Extreme rope is a synthetic winch rope developed and manufactured for the toughest winching conditions and the most demanding requirements, and can be fitted to any winch, regardless of brand. - Made from Armortek Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene fibers - Double-braided construction - The innermost four meters are equipped with a HEAT-shield - Six times lighter than steel cable - Armortek Extreme has a special coating for maximum durability - Armortek is 70% stronger than steel cable - Armortek floats—steel cable does not - No need to worry about broken strands causing injuries - No loss of strength if the rope crosses itself on the drum - In the event of rope breakage, it does not snap back dangerously - Armortek is pre-stretched and heat-treated - Comes in a lightweight bag These winch ropes feature a double-braided construction with a 12-strand core and a tightly woven, heavy-duty outer sheath. The benefits of Armortek Extreme are truly remarkable! First, the construction means the core is highly protected against UV radiation and dirt, preventing premature aging. Additionally, the outer braid acts as a tough abrasion layer along the entire length, making the rope far more resistant to wear and tear than standard synthetic ropes. This rope will last you longer and withstand the harshest environments. Armortek Extreme comes standard on Warrior Winches’ military-grade T-1000 Series and the Gladiator Series.
