Frequently Asked Questions

+ What makes the external brake better for synthetic rope?

Traditional winches have a brake inside the drum, which generates immense heat during operation. This heat can weaken and damage synthetic rope. The Samurai's external brake completely isolates the rope from braking heat, dramatically extending its life and maintaining its strength.

+ Is this winch ready to install right out of the box?

Yes, this is a complete kit. It includes the winch with synthetic rope pre-installed, an aluminum hawse fairlead, all necessary wiring, an isolation switch, mounting hardware, and both wired and wireless remote controls. You just need a suitable mounting plate or bumper.

+ How waterproof is the IP68 rating?

An IP68 rating means the winch is fully protected from dust and can withstand long periods of immersion in water. The double-sealed motor, drum, and waterproof contactor make the Samurai reliable for deep water crossings and muddy recoveries.

+ Is the wireless remote integrated or a separate accessory?

The 12v Samurai model includes a heavy-duty integrated 2.4G wireless system. The receiver is built into the control box, offering excellent convenience and reliability without extra wiring.

+ What is the warranty on the Samurai 8,000lb winch?

The Samurai series winch comes with a 5-year warranty on mechanical components for commercial/industrial use when registered after purchase. Electrical components are covered for 12 months, and the synthetic rope is covered for 6 months.

+ How do I activate the 5-year warranty?

To receive the full 5-year industrial warranty, you must register your purchase. Any product that is not registered will only be covered by the standard 1-year warranty. Please follow the warranty registration process included with your product or contact us for details.
