Features

Built to Take a Beating: Full metal armor, stainless steel hardware and an aluminum control pack cover help protect the winch from the knocks, dirt, water and weather that come with serious recovery work.

Get Back on the Move: A no-load line speed of up to 36 ft/min helps you spool in the 95ft steel rope efficiently between recovery pulls.

Stay in Control Under Load: The external brake design helps manage heat around the drum, supporting reliable braking and helping reduce heat-related wear on the steel rope.

Keep the Power Protected: Thermal overload protection helps safeguard the motor from excessive heat during demanding recovery operations, while the 600A Silver Tip contactor supports efficient power delivery.

Command the Recovery From a Distance: The rechargeable wired and wireless remote lets you operate the winch from up to 50 feet away, giving you more flexibility when positioning yourself around the vehicle.

The Gladiator V2 R-Type 8,000lb Electric Winch delivers premium recovery performance for drivers and operators who demand more from their equipment. Built as part of Warrior Winches' premium Gladiator range, it combines a powerful 12V motor, heavy-duty steel rope, precision planetary gearing, and rugged all-weather protection. Whether you're recovering a vehicle off-road, tackling difficult terrain, or putting your winch to work on a demanding jobsite, the Gladiator R-Type is engineered to deliver dependable pulling power when it matters.

Dependable Pulling Power When the Terrain Gets Tough
A high-performance 5.8hp motor delivers an 8,000lb rated line pull, giving the Gladiator R-Type the muscle needed for demanding recoveries. The 196:1 planetary gear system provides controlled, reliable pulling performance, while a no-load line speed of up to 36 ft/min helps get the job done efficiently.

Heavy-Duty Strength for Serious Recovery Work
The Gladiator R-Type comes equipped with 95ft of heavy-duty steel rope, providing the strength and durability needed for challenging vehicle recoveries and demanding applications. The included roller fairlead helps guide the rope smoothly onto the drum while reducing unnecessary wear during operation.

Stay Protected From the Elements
Premium recovery equipment needs to perform regardless of the environment. Full metal armor protects the motor and geartrain, while the aluminum control pack cover and stainless steel hardware provide additional durability and corrosion resistance. With IP68 waterproof protection and over 480 hours of corrosion resistance, the Gladiator R-Type is built to withstand tough off-road and worksite conditions.

More Reliable Braking Under Load
The patented external brake design helps move braking heat away from the drum, reducing heat and wear during demanding pulls. By helping protect the rope and maintain consistent braking performance, this system is designed to extend service life while giving you greater control during recovery.

Built-In Protection for Demanding Recoveries
A 600A Silver Tip contactor provides efficient electrical performance, while integrated thermal overload protection helps protect the motor from excessive heat during extended use. Together, these systems help the Gladiator deliver consistent performance while protecting key components from unnecessary stress.

Take Control From a Great Distance
The included 2-in-1 rechargeable wired and wireless remote gives you flexible control of the winch while allowing you to operate from a safer position. With wireless operation up to 50 feet away and USB charging, the remote is convenient, versatile, and ready for the next recovery.

Premium Recovery Performance for Years to Come
The Gladiator V2 R-Type 8,000lb is designed for customers who expect premium construction, dependable performance, and long-term durability from their recovery equipment. With heavy-duty steel rope, IP68 protection, advanced braking technology, and a 7-year warranty, the Gladiator delivers the confidence to take on challenging recoveries wherever the road or trail leads.
