Novawinch WinchesDescription
The Novawinch HEN8000 is a fully EN-compliant, 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) hydraulic winch built specifically for the demanding UK commercial recovery sector. Engineered to meet mandatory safety standards, this heavy-duty unit features a robust multi-disc braking system and IP67-rated weather sealing, making it the ideal choice for professional operators who require certified reliability.
Certified Performance for Industrial & Commercial Recovery
Designed to handle rigorous everyday use, the HEN8000 delivers an impressive first-layer pulling capacity of 3,629 kg (8,000 lbs) alongside a swift line speed of 8.5 metres per minute (at an oil flow rate of 55 L/min). Operating at a working pressure of 13 MPa (1,885 psi) with an efficient 16.9:1 gear ratio, this hydraulic winch is perfectly suited for installation on:
-
Commercial recovery trucks and breakdown flatbeds
-
Fire and rescue appliances
-
Agricultural tractors
-
Heavy-duty industrial trailers
Advanced Safety & Heavy-Duty Engineering
Operator safety is at the forefront of the HEN8000’s design. It utilizes an intelligent hydraulic valve control paired with a multi-disc automatic brake, load-tested to 125% of its rated capacity for total peace of mind.
Built to survive the harshest British weather, the winch boasts full IP67 dust and water protection. The internal components are housed within a rugged chassis featuring a forged aluminium motor mount, hardened steel planetary gearing, and high-tensile carbon steel tie bars for maximum structural integrity.
Rope Capacity & Layer-by-Layer Performance
The HEN8000 is designed to run a 9.2mm (3/8″) steel wire rope, with the drum capable of holding up to 35 metres (114.8 ft) across four layers. For ease of spooling, the unit comes equipped with a manual clutch.
Performance Breakdown: As the wire rope builds up on the drum, the pulling power adjusts by layer. For instance, on the 4th layer, the winch delivers a pulling capacity of 5,140 lbs at a faster speed of 43.3 fpm. (Please refer to our full technical specifications table below for exact per-layer data).
