Overview
The Warn M15000 is a 15000 lb self-recovery electric winch, catalogued as model 47801 with UPC 1274847801. It is built for owners of big trucks who need the pulling power to get a loaded vehicle out of tough situations.

Matching the rating to your load
Line pull ratings describe what the winch can deliver on the first layer of rope, and the effective pull drops as more rope wraps the drum. That makes the rating a ceiling rather than a target. Pick a winch whose rating is comfortably above the weight of the heaviest vehicle you expect to recover, and remember that a stuck vehicle often needs more force than its own weight suggests.
Wire rope suits heavy recovery but needs regular checking for broken strands, kinks and a worn hook. Rope that has been run over a sharp edge should be retired. Pair the winch with a bumper or plate rated for its weight, and keep the battery and charging system ready for long pulls.
- Check rope for broken strands before each recovery
- Inspect the hook and clasp for deformation
- Match the bumper rating to the winch weight

Vehicle fitment
The M15000 is aimed at big trucks in general and is not tied to a specific year, make or model. Confirm the mounting position and the 25.2 in x 8.5 in x 11 in size against your bumper before installing it.
No generation or model is named, so none is excluded by name. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
