The Carbon Offroad Scout Pro Extreme Duty Performance Series winches are built with the frequent use winching user in mind who is tackling harsh offroad conditions on a regular basis, or the owner of vehicles which are extremely heavy, kitted out or towing in offroad conditions.
With larger modulus gearsets, increased motor horsepower and standard inclusions from our premium accessory range including the Mega-Pro Winch Rope Thimble and Mega-Pro Premium Fairlead, you are getting a best of the best package straight out of the box.
The Scout Pro series winches share the same 2023 Version 3 Winch Chassis as our tried and tested 12K winch. This allows fitment into most larger 4x4 utes and 4x4 Wagons. Due to the longer 7.0HP Motor, you should consult the technical drawing to determine clearance and fitment length on your winch mount. Most larger vehicles such as RAM, F-Truck and Silverado are generally wide enough to not be a problem, Fitment to any dual cab, 70 series, 200 series or any other similar sized 4wd wagon should be confirmed prior to purchase. The responsibility of the fitment is that of the end-user or installer.
The 12000lb winch comes with 11mm high density pre stretched premium UHMWPE winch rope rated at a whopping 9000kg minimum breaking strain.

How to apply for a warranty:
Contact the seller of your Carbon Winch to discuss the problem.

If it is deemed that the winch or components are required to be sent back to Carbon Winches Australia, the customer is to make arrangements to return them to our location at their expense. Once the winch has been returned along with a copy of proof of purchase, Carbon Winches Australia will assess the warranty claim and provide feedback on a successful or unsuccessful claim.

Protecting your winch from water ingress:
There are no conditions on maintaining your IP Warranty. However we would like you to understand the following information about your winch to get the best out of it in the long term.
The rubber lip seals on the winch rope drum are a wear item, they are subject to exposure to the elements and abrasive materials such as mud, sand, salt, dirt and other environmental contaminants and will wear out with use of your winch.
We recommend you replace the drum lip seals every 12 months or as often as you feel necessary dependant on the use of your winch. These are available for sale on the website.
This will ensure that your winch maintains its high standard of waterproofing and provide you with years of hassle free operation.
We highly recommend you download and read the maintenance and first use guideline document before installing and operating your winch.
