Carbon Scout Pro 15.0K V3 Extreme Duty Electric Winch with Synthetic Rope

Motor current climbs as the load increases, from 65 amps unloaded up to 380 amps at the full 15,000lb rated pull. A minimum 650 CCA battery is recommended, and it's worth having a qualified auto electrician check your cabling and battery setup if you're upgrading from a smaller winch.

Line speed runs from 27.9ft/min (8.5m/min) with no load down to 3.6ft/min (1.1m/min) at the full 15,000lb rated pull, slowing as the load and amp draw increase.

The Scout Pro 15K is built to sit between standard UTE-sized winches (around 9.5 to 12K) and full truck-class units. It suits heavily loaded or modified utes and wagons, camper trailer setups, and sand or soft-terrain recovery where a 12K winch is working right at its limit.

The 15K shares the same updated 2023 V3 chassis as the 12K but steps up to a 15,000lb rated pull and a solenoid rated 100 amps higher, for more consistent performance under heavier loads.

It comes standard with 24m of 11mm UHMWPE synthetic rope, rated to 9,000kg minimum breaking strain. Synthetic rope is generally lighter to handle and stores less kinetic energy than steel cable under load, though it should still be inspected regularly for wear or UV damage and used within its rated capacity.

Carbon Offroad recommends a minimum 650 CCA battery for optimal performance. Match this to your vehicle's electrical setup, and check with a qualified auto electrician before fitting if you're unsure about capacity or wiring.

This listing (CW-XD15-V3) is the 12V DC version. Carbon Offroad does list a 24V option for this motor, so get in touch with us before ordering if you specifically need 24V.

It shares its mounting footprint with the 12K on the V3 chassis, so it suits most larger 4WD utes and wagons. Because of its longer motor housing, check the technical drawings in the installation manual for clearance before fitting to a dual cab, 70 or 200 Series. Larger vehicles like RAM, Silverado and F-Trucks generally clear without issue.
