RUNVA HWN 12000I – 5.4-Tonne Hydraulic Winch with Steel Wire Rope and Manual Free-Spool Clutch
The RUNVA HWN 12000I is a heavy-duty hydraulic winch engineered for professional pulling, towing and vehicle recovery applications. With a maximum rated line pull of 5,443 kg (12,000 lbs) on the first rope layer, it provides dependable pulling performance for tow trucks, recovery vehicles, commercial vehicles and specialised engineering applications.
This configuration features a manually operated free-spool clutch and a durable steel wire rope measuring 11 mm in diameter and 25.5 m in length. The combination of hydraulic drive technology, an automatic wet-type brake and a heavy-duty planetary gearbox makes the HWN 12000I suitable for demanding pulling operations.
Powerful Hydraulic Drive for Professional Applications
The RUNVA HWN 12000I is powered by a hydraulic motor with a displacement of 65 cm³ per revolution. The specified hydraulic oil flow ranges from 5 to 45 L/min, while the maximum operating pressure is 135 bar.
These specifications allow the winch to be integrated into appropriately designed hydraulic systems on commercial vehicles and specialised machinery. The hydraulic drivetrain provides reliable power transmission for professional pulling and retrieval operations.
The two-stage steel planetary gearbox features a reduction ratio of 25.5:1. Its robust mechanical design is engineered to withstand demanding operating conditions while transferring hydraulic power efficiently to the rope drum.
Manual Free-Spool Clutch for Convenient Rope Handling
The mechanically operated clutch lever allows the rope drum to be disengaged from the drivetrain when the rope is unloaded. This enables the operator to pull out the steel wire rope manually and position it at the required attachment point.
The manual free-spool system eliminates the need for additional pneumatic clutch controls, making this configuration particularly suitable for vehicle installations requiring a simple and robust mechanical clutch arrangement.
Automatic Hydraulic Brake with Counterbalance Valve
The RUNVA HWN 12000I is equipped as standard with an automatic wet-type hydraulic brake and an integrated counterbalance valve.
These components support controlled rope movement and drum holding within the specified operating conditions. The automatic braking system is an important part of the winch's design for professional recovery and towing operations.
Heavy-Duty Construction with 25.5 m Steel Wire Rope
The winch is equipped with a 25.5 m steel wire rope measuring 11 mm in diameter, providing a durable solution for a wide range of professional pulling applications.
The rope drum measures 72 mm in diameter and 219 mm in length. Its standard mounting bolt pattern of 254 × 114.3 mm with four M12 mounting points facilitates installation into suitable vehicle and machinery structures.
With an IP54 protection rating, the winch is protected against harmful dust ingress and splashing water. Its compact construction and heavy-duty hydraulic drivetrain make it a versatile solution for professional vehicle installations.
