The Warn 101040 VRX 45-S Powersports Winch is built for the hardest-working UTVs and side-by-sides that demand serious pulling power and durability. With a 4,500-pound rated line pull, the VRX 45-S is ideal for heavy trail recovery, plowing, and utility work where smaller ATV winches fall short.

This winch comes equipped with 50 feet of 1/4-inch synthetic rope, a cast aluminum hawse fairlead, a dash-mounted rocker switch, and a 10-foot corded handheld remote for flexible, controlled operation. Featuring durable all-metal construction, a smooth three-stage planetary geartrain, and a load-holding brake, the VRX 45-S delivers dependable performance in demanding environments. Complete waterproof sealing and corrosion-resistant finishes ensure long-term reliability in mud, water, snow, and dust.
