WARN M8274-S Winch 10,000 lb Synthetic Rope Upright – 106175

The WARN M8274-S Winch is the modern evolution of the most iconic winch ever built. Famous for its upright design, unmatched line speed, and extreme durability, the M8274-S now delivers a 10,000 lb single-line pulling capacity, making it ideal for today’s heavier off-road vehicles while preserving the classic WARN look enthusiasts love.

Powered by a high-output 6 HP series-wound motor and a 3-stage spur gear drivetrain, the M8274-S provides industry-leading speed and consistent pulling power. An IP68-rated Albright electrical contactor ensures maximum reliability in wet and harsh conditions. The winch includes 150 feet of 3/8-inch WARN Spydura™ synthetic rope, reducing weight while improving safety, paired with a forged aluminum hawse fairlead.

Manufactured in Clackamas, Oregon, USA, the M8274-S blends proven design with modern upgrades such as an ergonomic stainless steel clutch T-handle, improved internal durability, and a restyled control pack housing—making it one of the most capable and recognizable winches on the trail.
