RUNVA HWN 15000 – 6.8-Tonne Hydraulic Winch with Steel Wire Rope and Manual Free-Spool Clutch
The RUNVA HWN 15000 is a powerful hydraulic winch designed for professional towing, pulling and vehicle recovery applications. With a maximum rated line pull of 6,804 kg (15,000 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 12 mm in diameter and 26.5 m in length. The combination of hydraulic drive technology, an automatic braking system and a robust planetary gearbox makes the HWN 15000 a practical solution for demanding professional winching operations.
Powerful Hydraulic Drive for Professional Applications
The RUNVA HWN 15000 is powered by a hydraulic motor with a displacement of 80 cm³ per revolution. The specified hydraulic oil flow ranges from 5 to 60 L/min, while the maximum operating pressure is 130 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 demanding pulling and retrieval operations.
The RUNVA-designed two-stage planetary gearbox features a reduction ratio of 33.4:1. Its heavy-duty mechanical construction is engineered to withstand high loads while transmitting 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 Braking System for Controlled Winching
The RUNVA HWN 15000 features an automatic braking system designed to support controlled pulling operations.
The integrated brake is an important component of the winch's mechanical and hydraulic operating concept, contributing to controlled drum operation under the manufacturer's specified conditions.
The braking system must only be used within the intended operating limits and does not replace additional vehicle securing measures during recovery or towing operations.
Heavy-Duty Construction with 26.5 m Steel Wire Rope
The winch is equipped with a 26.5 m steel wire rope measuring 12 mm in diameter, providing a durable solution for a wide range of professional pulling applications.
The rope drum measures 89 mm in diameter and 214 mm in length. Its mounting bolt pattern of 254 × 114.3 mm with four M12 mounting points facilitates integration into suitable vehicle and machinery structures.
The specially developed housing design is intended to simplify installation in professional vehicle configurations. With a net weight of approximately 68.5 kg, the HWN 15000 requires a suitably dimensioned mounting structure and secure mechanical installation.
