Discover the ultimate in winching technology with our collection of High Mount Winches from Warn. We offer two outstanding models of the renowned Warn M8274-S 12V 10,000lbs High Mount Winch, each designed to offer unparalleled performance in the most demanding situations.
Whether you prefer the cutting-edge technology of synthetic rope or the traditional strength of steel cable, this collection has been curated to meet your specific winching needs.
The distinction between high mount and low mount winches primarily lies in their design and typical usage scenarios, with each type offering unique advantages for different applications.
Design & Mechanism: High mount winches generally have a more prominent profile on the vehicle. They are characterised by their upright, vertical orientation. This design allows for a larger drum, which reduces the rope's stress by minimising the layers of rope wound on the drum during winching.
Performance: They typically offer faster line speeds and are more suited for heavy-duty and competitive applications, especially where quick line recovery is essential.
Application: High mount winches are usually popular in serious off-roading and competition scenarios, such as in 4x4 challenges and rally events. They are favoured for their durability and high-performance capabilities in demanding situations.
Installation & Weight: These winches are often bulkier and heavier, making the installation process more complex. The additional weight and size can impact the vehicle's approach angle and overall weight distribution.
Design & Mechanism: Low mount winches are more compact and are integrated into the vehicle's front profile with a horizontal layout. This makes them less obtrusive and more aesthetically pleasing for many users.
Performance: While they may not offer the same high-speed performance as high mount winches, they are more than capable for general recovery tasks and are reliable for most off-road enthusiasts.
Application: Ideal for both occasional and frequent off-roaders, rescue operations, and general users who require a reliable recovery system without the need for high-speed winching. They are often used in lifestyle 4x4 vehicles and work trucks.
Installation & Weight: Generally lighter and easier to install, low mount winches are less likely to impact the vehicle's approach angle and are a more versatile option for everyday use.
Putting it plainly, Warn are the global leaders for a reason. Choosing a Warn High Mount Winch means investing in a legacy of quality and reliability. Known for their durability and strength, these winches are designed to provide peace of mind in any situation.

Easy online purchase, quick delivery. Assembly was fairly simple although a little time consuming with the thread making screws. Kit doesnt come with the 'bit' to screw these mongrels in.
I came up with idea to install a slimline water tank vertical to replace the backrest of the rear seat of my extra cab ute. It was the perfect fit and is great. The connector for a hose was broken in transit, but they replaced it by the end of the week. The service and delivery speed has been brilliant.
Hi Paul! Thanks for the great feedback. I'm sorry about the broken connector but glad we were able to get it sorted out for you quickly. Please reach out if there's anything else we can assist with!
Had been attempting to source this product locally for several months with no success. 4x4 Downunder were recommended as an alternative. Customer service was very impressive. Product on its way in a day and arrived within the week. 4x4 followed up with a courtesy email after delivery. Exceptional service.
Thanks David! So glad to hear we were able to help you out! Please reach out if there's anything else we can assist with.
