ARB Winches for Land Rover Defender

Equip your Land Rover Defender with the ultimate self-recovery tool. The ARB Winch range combines precision engineering with modern vehicle integration, delivering unmatched pulling power without sacrificing your vehicle’s styling or functionality . Purpose-built for balanced strength, these winches feature an innovative, streamlined design that completely eliminates the traditional, bulky external control box . This ensures a sleek fit on modern Defender bumpers, preserving vital engine airflow and front sensor functionality while drastically reducing installation time .

Advanced Drive & Braking Technology At the heart of the ARB Winch is a purpose-built series-wound motor paired with a cutting-edge, 4-stage gearbox featuring 2-stage planetary and 2-stage spur hardened steel gearsets . This advanced configuration delivers faster line speeds with significantly lower current draw from your battery .

For absolute safety during steep descents or heavy recoveries, the winch features a gearbox-mounted, 100% load-holding proportional friction brake . This zero-drag braking system also allows for powered unspooling under no-load conditions without causing any internal friction damage .

Seamless Integration & Controls Say goodbye to messy external wiring. The built-in motor control unit utilizes a direct-connection 500Amp Albright DC contactor to boost electrical efficiency .

Every winch comes equipped with a Dual Connection Wireless Remote—a compact hand controller that offers the ultimate flexibility of a 5m (16ft) wired lead or a massive 40m (131ft) wireless operational range . For added safety, a main power isolation switch is included in the box, allowing you to completely cut power to the unit when driving on-road .
