The Warrior Winches Gladiator Range is our premium 4x4 recovery winch range, engineered for serious off-road enthusiasts, recovery specialists and professionals who demand the best from their equipment. Combining high-performance motors, advanced protection and heavy-duty construction, Gladiator winches are built to deliver the pinnacle in recovery performance when the terrain gets tough.
The Gladiator F-Type 12,500lb 12V electric winch delivers an impressive 12,500lb (5,670kg) of rated line pull from a powerful 5.0kW motor, giving you the serious recovery capability needed for larger 4x4s, challenging terrain and demanding vehicle recoveries. With Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope, advanced braking and extensive environmental protection, this is a premium recovery winch designed for those who refuse to compromise when the going gets tough.
12,500lb of serious recovery power. The 5.0kW 12V motor delivers up to 12,500lb (5,670kg) of rated line pull through a 196:1 planetary gearing system. With 12,500lb available on the first layer of rope, the F-Type gives you the pulling power to tackle demanding recoveries where a lower-capacity winch may not be enough. The 8.5m/min no-load line speed also helps get the rope deployed and recovery underway quickly.
Built for demanding 4x4 recoveries. The Gladiator F-Type is engineered around the demands of serious off-road recovery. Full metal armour protects the motor and geartrain, while HRC50 full steel gears provide the strength and durability required for repeated heavy pulls. Stainless steel mounting hardware provides additional corrosion resistance, helping the winch stand up to exposure to mud, water and harsh outdoor conditions.
Extend the life of your rope. The patented external braking system moves braking heat away from the drum, helping reduce heat build-up around the synthetic rope during demanding recoveries. This helps minimise heat-related rope wear while maintaining controlled braking performance when managing heavy loads.
Armortek Extreme for serious rope protection. The 25m x 10mm Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope combines easier handling with enhanced abrasion resistance, making it well suited to demanding off-road recovery. Its 24-strand abrasion guard runs across the entire length of the rope, helping protect against wear during repeated use. The aluminium hawse fairlead provides a smooth path for the rope as it moves on and off the drum.
Protection when the conditions get brutal. With an IP68 waterproof rating, the Gladiator F-Type 12,500lb is designed to withstand demanding off-road environments where exposure to water, mud and dust is unavoidable. Thermal overload protection provides an additional safeguard during hard pulls, while the 600A Silver Tip contactor supports efficient electrical performance when the winch is working under load.
Take control from the best position. The 2-in-1 rechargeable wired and wireless remote gives you the flexibility to operate the winch from inside the vehicle or from up to 15m away. Stepping away from the vehicle can provide a clearer view of the recovery and allow you to operate from a more practical position. USB charging also makes it easy to keep the remote ready for use wherever the next recovery takes you.
F-Type flexibility, ready from the box. The F-Type comes supplied with a control box relocation plate, giving you greater flexibility when positioning the control pack during installation. This is particularly useful where space around the winch mounting area is limited, allowing you to create a cleaner and more practical installation without needing to purchase an additional relocation kit.
The F-Type at its most capable. Measuring 558 x 166 x 255mm and weighing 32.3kg, the Gladiator F-Type 12,500lb packs substantial recovery capability into a practical 4x4 winch package. From its 5.0kW motor and 196:1 planetary gearing to its Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope, external braking system and IP68 protection, every element is engineered around serious recovery performance.
Backed by a 7-year warranty, the Gladiator F-Type gives serious 4x4 enthusiasts, recovery specialists and off-road professionals the pulling power, protection and control needed when the vehicle is stuck, the terrain is severe and a standard recovery winch isn't enough.
