The Gladiator V2 R-Type 8,000lb Electric Winch delivers premium recovery performance in a lightweight synthetic rope configuration. Designed for drivers and operators who demand exceptional build quality, dependable pulling power, and advanced recovery equipment, the Gladiator combines a powerful 12V motor with Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope and premium 7075 aviation-grade aluminum components. Built for serious off-road use, vehicle recovery, and demanding terrain, this is a winch engineered to perform when a standard recovery setup isn't enough.
Powerful Recovery Performance When You Need It
The Gladiator V2 R-Type delivers an 8,000lb rated line pull from its high-performance 12V motor. With 5.8hp of input power and a 196:1 planetary gear system, it delivers strong, controlled pulling performance, while a no-load line speed of up to 36 ft/min helps make recovery operations faster and more efficient.
Easier Rope Handling on Demanding Terrain
The 82ft Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope combines high-strength construction with the lightweight handling benefits of synthetic rope. A full-length abrasion guard helps protect against wear, UV exposure, and moisture, making it well suited to demanding off-road environments and repeated recovery use.
Premium Strength Without Unnecessary Weight
Premium equipment deserves premium components. The Gladiator is equipped with a 7075 aviation-grade aluminum fairlead that delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Its UV-resistant anodized finish provides additional protection against sun, mud, rain, and other harsh conditions.
Extra Hook Capacity for Added Confidence
The heavy-duty Armortek hook is rated to 16,000lb, providing substantial strength for demanding recovery situations. Its robust construction complements the synthetic rope system while maintaining the premium, lightweight design of the Gladiator.
Protection for Tough Off-Road Conditions
The Gladiator V2 R-Type is designed to withstand demanding environments. Full metal armor protects the motor and geartrain, while an aluminum control pack cover and stainless steel hardware provide added durability and corrosion resistance. IP68 waterproof protection and over 480 hours of corrosion resistance help keep the winch protected through tough off-road conditions.
Better Heat Control During Heavy Pulls
The Gladiator features thermal overload protection to help prevent motor damage from excessive heat during extended recovery operations. Its external brake design helps keep heat away from the drum, protecting the synthetic rope while maintaining dependable braking performance when the load is on.
Control Your Recovery From a Distance
The 2-in-1 rechargeable wired and wireless remote gives you precise control while allowing operation from up to 50 feet away. USB charging keeps the remote convenient and ready for the next recovery, while wireless operation gives you greater flexibility when positioning yourself around the vehicle.
Premium Performance Backed for 7 Years
The Gladiator V2 R-Type 8,000lb is built for those who expect more from their recovery equipment. From its Armortek Extreme Synthetic Rope and aviation-grade aluminum fairlead to its rugged construction, advanced protection, and 7-year warranty, every part is engineered to deliver premium performance and dependable recovery capability when you need it most.
