Unrivalled 11-Tonne Industrial Power
The HEN25000 is engineered for maximum capability and heavy-duty industrial use, including heavy recovery wreckers and low-loaders. It delivers a first-layer line pull of 25,000 lb (11,340 kg) and a line speed of 18 fpm (5.5 m/min) at 70 l/min oil flow. Key specifications include a working pressure of 2,465 psi (17 MPa) and a gear ratio of 20.0:1.
Pneumatic Precision & Hydraulic Efficiency
A pneumatic clutch is fitted as standard, allowing for air-controlled engagement directly from the cab. For leak-resistant oil hose connections, the winch features GV-12 threads. Structural integrity is ensured by oversized cast steel drum supports, hardened planetary gears and a carbon steel tie bar. The multi-disc brake and IP67-rated seals guarantee reliable operation in challenging environments such as quarries, construction sites and severe weather conditions.
Wire Rope & Performance by Layer
It is recommended to use 16 mm (5/8") wire rope, which allows for a drum capacity of 131 ft (40 m) across four layers. The rated line pull and line speed vary by layer; please refer to the Performance table in the Specifications for full details (e.g. layer 4: 16,176 lb, 27.8 fpm, 131 ft capacity).
