ARB Introduces Compact All-in-One Winch for Smooth, Efficient Operation

ARB has introduced a new winch designed with a focus on clean installation, reliable performance, and ease of use on today’s vehicles. The standout feature is a built-in control box, eliminating the need for an external unit and making it easier to integrate with modern bumpers and vehicle sensors.

A custom Albright contactor is housed inside the winch, paired with a direct motor connection to improve efficiency and deliver smooth, consistent pulling power. The compact, prewired design also helps simplify installation.

The winch is built for durability, featuring an IP68 rating for water and dust protection, a 4-stage hardened steel gearbox, and a one-piece bridging plate for added strength. A gearbox-mounted brake provides full load holding, while a tuned 12V motor delivers fast line speed.

Usability is another highlight. A 16-position clockable clutch handle allows for flexible mounting, especially in tighter setups. The included hand controller offers both wireless control up to 40 meters and a 5-meter wired option. The 2.4GHz connection helps prevent interference, and a remote-mounted control plug supports low-profile or hidden installs.

A 500A power isolation switch with a stainless lanyard and protective cover comes standard.

Overall, ARB’s new winch focuses on practical improvements, including cleaner installs, consistent performance, and flexible control. Visit ARB’s website to sign up for updates and be among the first to know when the new winch officially becomes available.
