Description
The Novawinch HEN25000 (Manual Clutch Edition) is a heavy-duty, EN Rated hydraulic winch designed for the most demanding recovery applications. Part of the renowned HEN MAX series, this 11,340kg capacity powerhouse combines immense pulling force with the mechanical reliability of a lever-operated clutch.
This model is the ideal choice for recovery vehicles and industrial setups that do not utilize pneumatic systems, providing a robust, “hands-on” engagement solution for UK operators.
Maximum Power, Simplified Control
Engineered for operators who value mechanical simplicity, the manual-clutch HEN25000 eliminates the need for air lines without sacrificing performance.
-
First Layer Pull: 25,000 lb (11,340 kg)
-
Optimal Line Speed: 5.5 m/min (18 fpm) at a 70 l/min oil flow.
-
Precision Gearing: A 20.0:1 ratio ensures smooth power delivery through every rotation.
The manual lever provides a tactile, positive engagement, ensuring the winch is locked and ready even in the harshest British weather conditions.
Industrial-Grade Durability
The HEN MAX series is built to survive “industrial abuse.” Every component is over-engineered for longevity:
-
Reinforced Construction: Features oversized cast steel drum supports and a carbon steel tie bar for superior structural rigidity.
-
Hardened Internals: Equipped with heavy-duty planetary gears designed to withstand constant high-torque loads.
-
Leak Protection: Utilizes GV-12 threads for secure, leak-resistant hydraulic hose connections.
-
Environmentally Sealed: IP67-rated seals protect the unit from dust and water ingress, making it perfect for quarrying, forestry, and heavy construction sites.
Cable Capacity & Layered Performance
For optimum safety and performance, we recommend using 16 mm (5/8″) wire rope. The drum is designed to house up to 40m (131 ft) of cable across four layers.
Note: As with all drum winches, pulling power and line speed adjust as the cable layers increase. While the first layer provides the maximum 25,000lb pull, the fourth layer offers a faster line speed of 27.8 fpm with a reduced pulling capacity of 16,176 lb.
