The Novawinch HEN18000 is an 18,000lb (8,165kg) EN-rated hydraulic winch, meticulously engineered to meet stringent European safety standards. Certified for professional commercial recovery and industrial applications where compliance is mandatory, this heavy-duty winch features a multi-disc brake and IP67 protection, making it ideal for heavy recovery trucks, fire engines, and flatbed trailers.
Engineered for the most demanding industrial tasks, the HEN18000 delivers a first-layer line pull of 18,000 lb (8,165 kg) and a line speed of 23 fpm (7 m/min) at 60 l/min oil flow. Key specifications include a working pressure of 2,320 psi (16 MPa) and a gear ratio of 17.3:1.
The multi-disc brake and intelligent hydraulic valve direction change system ensure precise load control and superior stopping power, rigorously tested to 125% of rated capacity. Its robust construction features a forged aluminium motor mounting plate, hardened planetary gears, and a carbon steel tie bar. Furthermore, IP67-rated seals provide exceptional protection against dust and water, guaranteeing reliable operation in challenging UK conditions.
The winch is designed for a 14 mm (35/64") wire rope, offering a drum capacity of 98.4 ft (30 m) across four layers. Rated line pull and line speed vary significantly by layer; please refer to the Performance Table in the Specifications for full details (e.g., layer 4: 11,250 lb, 36.7 fpm, 98.4 ft capacity). It features a manual clutch for engagement and disengagement.
Please note: This hydraulic winch requires a hydraulic power source. An independent oil supply with a relief valve is recommended for optimal performance.
