Calculate the pull you need and see what fits

One field and one rule from the manufacturer. No sign-up, no form, no waiting for a reply.

Enter the figure from your registration document. For example 2600.

The full table is below. The column “Max vehicle GVWR” is the rated pull divided by 1.5 — the heaviest vehicle for which this winch meets the manufacturer's rule.

Where the 1.5 comes from

WARN has published this formula for years and does not change it between lines: gross vehicle weight rating × 1.5 = minimum pull. The multiplier covers what the vehicle's weight alone does not describe — mud resistance, gradient, wheels buried to the axle.

What matters is the gross rating, not the kerb weight. The manufacturer says so explicitly, because this is the commonest mistake: an off-road vehicle's kerb weight can be 600–900 kg below its rating, and a winch sized on kerb weight turns out to be too weak exactly when it is needed.

On a Polish registration document the rating is in field F.2, in kilograms, while WARN works in pounds. The table below does the conversion; you do not have to multiply anything.

ATVs and UTVs are calculated differently

For quads and utility vehicles the 1.5 rule does not apply — WARN gives ready-made bands:

VehicleRecommended pullPer manufacturer
ATV1,134 – 1,588 kg2,500 – 3,500 lbs
Two-seat UTV1,588 – 2,041 kg3,500 – 4,500 lbs
Four-seat UTV2,041 – 2,495 kg4,500 – 5,500 lbs

The difference between our lines at the same pull is not marketing: R uses a simpler motor and gear train, VRX adds sealing and a fairlead, AXON has the strongest motor in its class and a plow mode. That is why the R35-S and the VRX 35-S share a rated pull and differ in price by half.

FAQ

Can I take a stronger winch than the calculation gives?
Yes, and the manufacturer explicitly allows it — it states you can always go up. A stronger winch works at a lower percentage of its rating, so it heats up less and lasts longer. The limits are its weight, its current draw, and whether it fits the bumper.
And the other way — how far down can I go?
Do not go below the figure you calculated. WARN quotes rated pull for the first layer of rope on the drum; with a full drum the real pull is markedly lower, because the lever arm grows. That difference is exactly what the calculated margin covers.
Can a snatch block make up for an undersized winch?
A snatch block doubles the force at the hook and halves the line speed — it is a real answer to a heavy recovery. It is not a reason to buy a winch a class too small: you need an anchor point, a longer rope, and time to rig it.
I have a camper or a trailer — what then?
What counts is the weight of the combination, not the vehicle alone. If you recover the trailer together with the vehicle, add both ratings and then multiply. For constant work with trailers, consider the industrial line.
Will a 12 V winch cope with a weak battery?
No. Under load a vehicle winch draws several hundred amps, and that is the commonest cause of “the winch will not pull”. Before replacing the unit, check the battery, cable cross-sections and earth — we do that as part of our diagnostics.
