The Warrior Winches Samurai Range is our performance-focused range of electric winches, engineered for drivers who demand serious recovery capability without compromising on speed, efficiency or control. Built for challenging off-road conditions, Samurai winches combine high-output motors, heavy-duty internal components and advanced braking technology to deliver confident performance when the trail gets tough.
The Samurai 8,000lb 12V electric winch with synthetic rope delivers up to 8,000lb (3,628kg) of rated line pull, giving you the recovery strength needed for serious recovery applications. With a high-performance 5.8hp motor, 196:1 planetary gearing and advanced external braking system, it delivers powerful, controlled recovery performance while the 29m synthetic rope provides a lighter and easier-to-handle alternative to steel.
8,000lb of Serious Recovery Performance. The 5.8hp (4.3kW) 12V motor delivers up to 8,000lb of rated line pull, giving you the strength to tackle heavy 4x4s, deep mud, steep terrain and demanding recovery situations. With a no-load line speed of up to 10.2m/min, the Samurai is also built to get the recovery line moving quickly when every second counts.
Synthetic Rope for Easier Recovery Handling. The 8.3mm x 29m synthetic rope provides substantial line capacity while being easier to handle than traditional steel rope. Its lower weight makes deploying and positioning the recovery line less cumbersome, while the included aluminium hawse fairlead provides a smooth path for the rope during recovery.
External Braking That Puts Control First. The revolutionary external brake system moves braking heat away from the drum, helping reduce heat build-up during demanding pulls. By separating the braking action from the rope drum, the system is designed to provide controlled load holding while helping reduce heat-related stress during repeated recovery work.
High-Performance Power for Serious Pulls. The Samurai combines its high-output motor with a 196:1 planetary gear system and HRC50 full-steel gears, providing the mechanical strength needed to transfer power effectively under load. The result is a winch designed to keep delivering when the terrain, vehicle weight and recovery forces start working against you.
Built for the Conditions You Actually Drive In. The double-sealed motor, heavy-duty waterproof contactors and IP67 protection help defend the winch against dust and water. This makes the Samurai well suited to muddy trails, wet recoveries and harsh off-road environments where reliable equipment matters.
Efficient Electrical Performance. The Samurai's 600A Silver Tip Contactor helps provide efficient electrical performance, while the silver-copper motor and copper brush holders are designed for durability and efficient operation. This combination helps the winch make effective use of its 12V power supply during demanding recovery work.
Control the Recovery Your Way. The Samurai 8,000lb comes supplied with a 3.8m wired remote and upgraded 2.4G wireless remote, giving you the flexibility to operate the winch from the vehicle or from a position where you have a clear view of the recovery. The wireless remote is supplied as standard with the 12V version.
29 Metres of Recovery Line. With 29m of synthetic rope available, the Samurai gives you plenty of line for positioning your recovery point around difficult terrain. The manual clutch allows the drum to be disengaged for quick rope deployment, helping you get the line where you need it before beginning the pull.

The Samurai 8,000lb is supplied with the winch, aluminium hawse fairlead, synthetic rope, heavy-duty battery leads, 3.8m wired remote, upgraded wireless remote, removable heavy-duty hook, isolation switch and stainless steel mounting hardware.
