ARB ARW100SA & ARW120SA Synthetic Winches Now Available in India | Swastik Fabs
India's 4x4 community just got access to ARB's most advanced winch lineup yet. Swastik Fabs is proud to be the authorised ARB dealers in India to stock the all-new ARW100SA (10,000 lbs) and ARW120SA (12,000 lbs) synthetic rope winches — launched in 2026 and built to redefine what a trail winch should be.
What Makes the ARB ARW100SA and ARW120SA Different?
ARB didn't just update their winch line — they rethought it entirely. The biggest change is the integrated motor control unit. Instead of a bulky separate control box mounted on your bumper or firewall, the entire control system sits inside the winch housing itself. The result is a cleaner installation, better compatibility with modern bumpers and vehicle sensors, and one less thing to worry about on the trail.
The custom Albright DC contactor — rated at 500 amps — connects directly to the motor rather than through external wiring. This direct connection improves efficiency and delivers more responsive, consistent power under load. A 500A isolation switch with universal mount, stainless lanyard and dust cover is included in the box.

Why Synthetic Rope Over Steel Cable?
If you're still running a steel cable winch, here's why the serious off-road community has moved to synthetic:
Safety — Synthetic rope doesn't store kinetic energy the way steel cable does. If it snaps under load, it drops — it doesn't whip back at dangerous speed. On a recovery, that's the difference between a scare and a serious injury.
Weight — Synthetic rope is dramatically lighter than steel cable of the same rated strength. Less unsprung weight up front, easier handling, faster recovery setup.
Handling — You can handle synthetic rope with bare hands. No sharp wire splinters, no cuts, no gloves required in an emergency.
Self-recovery — Synthetic floats on water. River crossings and water recoveries become significantly safer when your rope isn't sinking to the bottom.
Which One Do You Need — ARW100SA or ARW120SA?
Choose the ARW100SA (10,000 lbs) if:
- Your vehicle is under 2,500 kg gross weight
- You're running a Suzuki Jimny, Mahindra Thar, Maruti Gypsy, or similar
- Your terrain is moderate — forest trails, farm tracks, moderate rock
- You want the lightest, most compact ARB synthetic winch
Choose the ARW120SA (12,000 lbs) if:
- Your vehicle is heavier — Toyota Hilux, Fortuner, Isuzu V-Cross, modified Thar with heavy bumpers and armor
- You run serious terrain — deep mud, steep rock, expedition trips
- You want maximum pulling capacity and the confidence of extra headroom
- You're running a bull bar, full armor, roof rack and recovery gear setup
General rule — your winch should be rated at 1.5x your vehicle's gross weight. A 2,000 kg Thar should ideally have a 10,000 lb+ winch. A 3,000 kg Hilux with full expedition gear needs the 12,000 lb.
The ARB Difference — Why It Matters
ARB has been building 4x4 accessories in Australia since 1975. Every product goes through real-world testing in some of the harshest terrain on earth — the Australian outback, the Kimberley, Cape York. When ARB says a winch is IP68 rated, it means it's been tested properly, not just claimed on a spec sheet.
As India's authorised ARB dealer since our early days, Swastik Fabs has watched ARB's product quality hold up across hundreds of builds — Gypsies, Thars, Jimnys, Hiluxes, Fortuners — across every terrain type India throws at them. The new ARW series is the best winch ARB has built.
