The Warn M12-S Winch (97720) from Nomadic Supply Company® is a heavy-duty 12,000-lb rated electric winch engineered specifically for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks that demand serious recovery performance. Built around a high-speed series wound motor and a 3-stage planetary geartrain with a 261:1 gear ratio, the Warn M12-S Winch (97720) delivers the raw pulling power and fast line speed needed to tackle the most demanding off-road recovery situations.
The Warn M12-S Winch (97720) ships ready to work, spooled with 100 feet of 3/8″ Spydura Pro synthetic rope that is both lightweight and easy to handle, paired with a large-radius polished aluminum hawse fairlead for smooth, low-friction line management. A chip-resistant powder-coated finish shields the winch body from the elements, while a removable control pack housing a reliable Albright® contactor keeps critical electrical components protected and accessible for maintenance or repositioning.
Designed with operator convenience in mind, the Warn M12-S Winch (97720) features free spooling capability, Power Out functionality, and automatic brake activation that engages the best-in-class cone brake to hold the full 12,000-lb rated load without slipping. Heavy-duty carrier plates handle the enormous stress placed on the geartrain during big, long pulls, and the remote-mount control box allows for flexible installation to suit a wide range of mounting configurations. Backed by an industry-leading limited lifetime warranty on mechanical components and a seven-year warranty on electrical components, the Warn M12-S Winch (97720) represents a long-term investment in trail-proven recovery capability.
