ZEON Platinum Series
Winching’s New Gold Standard
One of the toughest, most technologically advanced truck and SUV winch on the trail today. It’s built for those who push the limits–with double the durability, 20 percent faster line speed, and extreme IP68-rated waterproofing. Key features include a remote controlled clutch, and the all-new Advanced Wireless Remote. ZEON 10 Platinum, and ZEON 12 Platinum winches deliver 10,000 and 12,000 pounds (4536 and 5440 kilograms) capacities, and come with a steel rope and roller fairlead. ZEON 10-S Platinum features WARN Spydura Synthetic rope and a polished aluminum hawse fairlead.
The ZEON Platinum Advanced Wireless Remote is a sophisticated smart device. It controls the operation of the winch, the clutch and much more. The winch’s manually operated clutch lever has been eliminated, putting the clutch right in operators’ hands, not on the winch. In fact, ZEON Platinum is the only winch today with this Advanced Remote Controlled Clutch. The Advanced Wireless Remote also controls up to two accessories, users can tie in lights, an air compressor, or other auxiliary gear. It also delivers instant feedback on winch motor temperature and vehicle battery charge level.
ZEON Platinum comes equipped with a unique High-Performance Package that features a powerful new motor for efficient amp draw and fast line speed, stronger gear train, aluminum drum, and a steel sleeve-in-drum brake design. Durability has doubled, and line speed is increased by 20 percent, up to 44 feet per minute, making this the perfect tool for driver-assisted vehicle recovery.
Symmetrical design helps ZEON Platinum match current vehicle styling. The black satin finish and stainless steel hardware resist corrosion, and a robust aluminum housing adds strength and durability. The innovative convertible control pack allows flexibility to remove the pack and mount it separately from the winch. It can be mounted in tight spaces, or fit into a low-profile look.
Like all WARN truck and SUV winches, ZEON Platinum comes with a limited lifetime warranty on mechanical parts, and a one-year warranty on electrical components (U.S. and Canada only) backed by a global service network.
- Advanced remote manual clutch
- IP68 waterproof rating
- Twice as durable as the previous generation
- 20% faster – up to 44ft per minute
Advanced Wireless Remote
The new Advanced Wireless Remote comes with all 3 ZEON Platinum Winches. The rugged ergonomic LCD command center puts the control in your hand and can be customized to your own personal preferences.
The Remote provides the following advanced feedback on winch and vehicle:
-Winch motor temperature.
-Vehicle battery strength.
-Clutch status.
-Advanced Wireless Remote battery and signal strength.
-Auxiliary accessory status.
-Light status.
The remote will be paired to the winch from the factory. The lithium ion battery is replaceable (only from WARN). It comes with a DC charger and micro B USB cord and is operable while charging.

It’s a BEAST!This thing is a beast. I bought mine to go on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I have a lot of custom mods, including a custom fabricated stubby bumper. After trying to mount it with some help from a tech that belongs to my Jeep club we realized we would need some specialized help mounting this.I would say that mounting it on top of a bumper would require little effort, however if you’re mounting in a recessed location inside a stubby bumper there are some logistical issues that can require some additional modifications.First, the vacuum pump will need to be relocated to the engine bay to accommodate the winch. Even with this relocation, you will likely need to trim a little metal from the bumper mounting brackets. Lastly, depending on the depth of the winch mounting plate, you may need to fabricate a custom extension in order to orient the winch properly.That said, now that all the mods have been done, this winch is awesome. The reason I bought it was after my rugged ridge 8,000 lbs winch failed me in the trail. Most winches have a port on the winch to connect a wired remote for operation. Problem was the plug that seals the port came loose while I was getting stuck in a 4ft deep mud pit. The inside of the port became filled with mud and despite trying to clear it of debris, I wasn’t able to get the remote to connect to operate the rugged ridge winch. The majority of winches on the market have this weakness – even mile marker winches which are arguably equivalent to Warn in reliability and known to be fully submersible, like this warn winch.While the very high price of the Warn can be a drawback for some, if you are going to be using your winch on a regular basis or spend a significant amount of time off road, the additional investment is well worth it.Another great benefit is the tow speed. Prior to my old winch failing, my Jeep was generally the goto vehicle in my jeep club for pulling people out due to increased weight and stability of the Unlimited configuration. When you’re doing a lot of winching, it definitely helps to have the increased speed and power of this winch.The last consideration for me were the pros and cons of cable vs synth. My previous rugged ridge winch used synth line. While the safety factor of synth was appealing to me when I was starting out, the inconvenience of the rope binding on the drum due to expansion and contraction of the line width under tension was an annoying hassle.Taking care with a cable line using a winch dampener will mitigate the danger of a break under tension. Make no mistake, this is a very real danger. One of our Jeep club members experienced this first hand when a broken toe hook flew through his radiator. Never winch without a dampener! Once that is out of the way, there’s no way I can see this winch failing unless you have a head on impact and destroy it.In short, the Zeon Platinum 12 lives up to the awesome reputation of Warn. If you want a winch for more than appearance sake, this is THE one. There simply is no better.

It was great — until it wasn’tIt was great — until it wasn’t. The internal contactor is failing to engage the gearing, only allowing the rope to freespool. The non-platinum has an external lever allowing the user to positively engage the gears, but this design does not allow the user to manually override the internal solenoid. It was really frustrating when I was trying to induce a lean on a tree, and I couldn’t (I wound up just using my truck to pull it). Then I had to coil the rope and strap it to the front of my truck. Good thing I bought the upper end model, huh?So, the I’ll be sending it for warranty repair, which there’s only two places relatively near me, but I still have to ship. I have to completely remove the winch and controls, and ship everything in, on my dime. (N.B., I used some anti-theft bolts when installing, which now have to be removed as well).I’ll update this when I receive word back. Until then I’d say stay away from the platinum model.Update: Since the winch weighs over 80#, it was $153 in shipping (with a veteran discount) to ship the unit to the repair facility. Got it back in a couple of weeks, but there was mention of what was repaired. I had originally purchased the kit to place the electronic controller inside the engine compartment, but it came back with a new controller mounted on the outside. It appears to work, but I have lost confidence in the platinum level. YMMV. It may be good to go for years, but it may not. Make sure you keep the box in case it has to go back.

The winch works great, very stout.The winch looks very good in the Warn bumper. So far I have only used it a few times and it worked great. The one very big disappointments has been that the battery in the remote only holds a charge for about 2 weeks. Warn sent me a new controller but it is the same. So each time I needed it the battery was dead so I had to charge the controller for at least 30 minutes or use it with the charge cord plugged into a USB in the jeep. I paid a lot of money for the cordless remote of the platinum series winch, so I am quite disappointed in the lameness of the battery. My 100 dollar Phillips electric shaver that I use every day last about 5 to 6 weeks on one charge. I know Warn can do better than that.John Adams

This wench works perfect in locations where the clutch is not easily accessedThis one was mounted on my 2020 Silverado 1500 with a stock bumper (no access to the wench unless your under the truck). The remote is very rugged (looks military grade), works awesome, and is easy to understand. When the clutch is engaged there is an audible click to let you know its ready for free spool. I’m sure the bolts were grade 8 but they did not have standard markings on them so I replaced the bolts with Grade 8 bolts. Minimum amp draw is 55 amps and full load amp draw is 400 amps. The wench is much lighter than I expected (maybe less than 50 lbs) so maneuvering it was easier.

Controller battery issuesI own several warn wenches all are controlled by remote plug in never a problem ,with this new wench I have been stuck a multitude of times and 100% of the episodes the controller battery has been dead even though it was 100% when put away.To warns credit I was supplied with a replacement, same issue ? Wish I would of went with the plug and go model not the plug and wait model !

Two failures in one yearWinch failed the first time I really needed it. I had done a couple of test winches- spooling in the cable, moving some junk around the yard.Once I got the truck stuck, though, the clutch failed and it went into free spool mode and wouldn’t re-engage.I had to remove the winch from the truck (not easy, it’s mounted behind a snow plow inside the bumper) and take it to a service place (two hour drive) and come back next week. They “fixed” it- took it apart, everything looked ok, put it back together, and it works. Great.Put it back in the truck, forget about it for a few months… get in a pinch and need it! Here we go… remote is charged, surprise! Put it into free spool, hook up to the stuck vehicle 30′ out… and it won’t re-engage. Worthless.Had to remove the cable (pristine condition still) to drive out of the way for the recovery service to come in ($350) and get my equipment out.I bought the “top of the line” winch for exactly one reason- it needs to work when I need it to work. This winch has failed me every single time I’ve needed it.The warranty is worthless, so far. I’ve only tried to use it three times so far, but each time they force you to call their call center… and my cell phone doesn’t work on the job site. Call will drop within 10 minutes, and with a 20 minute hold time that’s worthless.WARN has lost my business for life with a single product.Normally I don’t give up so easily on a company, but at $1600 + $200 in parts to set it up the way I want + worthless warranty + causing me to need to pay another service to save me when I already planned ahead to not need that… and then I can’t even get an RMA over the internet?As far as I’m concerned WARN has made the fanboy list, just like AMD, JEEP, APPLE, FORD, and a few dozen other well known names.

Fantastic top of the line winchLove this winch. Havent really had a chnace to tax it yet, but did pull out mired 5’500 lb Jeep without bothering to put it in Drive and use tires. Remote works great and the only problem is the little black rubber grommet that covers the USB charging input brokenoff almost immediately. Supplier sent winch on time and in perfect condition jist as described.

Fits 2019 JLUR…some people online say it doesn’t but it DOES!Awesome winch! Relatively painless install (except for 2 bumper bolts…you’ll see which ones). I’d recommend putting some painter’s tape around the top edges of the drum because the paint is very thin. The bumper will cover any cosmetic issues that arise during the install but if you’re particular about that use painter’s tape. The carrier (#101255) is a breeze to install. The grille guard (#82215351) does fit with plenty of room for straps to hook up to.

Everything you could wantThis thing is amazing, everything you’d hope for and more. The remote works from 300+ yards away, I can only come up with one dislike and that’s the cable is only 80 feet, but it states that in the discription so I can’t count that against them.Pictures are comparing this winch to the Harbor Freight 12,000lb winch, it makes that one look like a toy.
