NVT15000 15,000lb (6.8T) 24V Recovery Truck Winch - 28m Wire Rope

NVT15000 24V Recovery Truck Winch

The Novawinch NVT15000 is a large-frame 24V recovery truck winch with 15,000lb (6,804kg / approximately 6.8 tonnes) of rated line pull on the first rope layer. It is designed for vehicle recovery, transport and trailer installations requiring a durable electric winch with controlled pulling performance.

Supplied with 28m of 11.5mm steel wire rope, a four-way roller fairlead, waterproof wired remote and hook, the NVT15000 provides a complete winching package for professional installations.

Key Features

Built for Commercial Recovery Work

The NVT15000 is suited to recovery trucks, car transporters, flat-bed vehicles, plant trailers and other specialist equipment with a suitable 24V electrical system. Its large-frame construction, cut-steel planetary gears and deep 516:1 reduction ratio provide controlled pulling performance under demanding loads.

The 28m steel wire rope offers useful reach when recovering or loading vehicles and equipment. A four-way roller fairlead guides the rope as it enters the drum from different angles, helping to reduce unnecessary contact and wear.

24V Performance and Electrical Requirements

On the first rope layer, the NVT15000 has an unloaded line speed of 3.9m/min and delivers 1.2m/min at its full 15,000lb rated load. Motor current is listed as 60A with no load and 230A at full first-layer load.

These are operating figures, not recommendations for cable or fuse sizing. Installation requires a suitable 24V power supply, batteries, isolation equipment and correctly specified cabling. Electric winches require cooling periods during repeated or prolonged operation, so follow the operating instructions supplied with the winch.

Understanding Rated Line Pull

The stated 15,000lb rating applies to the first layer of rope on the drum. Available pulling force decreases as additional rope layers build up and increase the effective drum diameter.

Rated line pull describes pulling force, not the maximum vehicle weight that can be recovered. The required capacity also depends on the gradient, ground conditions, rolling resistance, vehicle condition and recovery arrangement. The NVT15000 is intended for pulling and vehicle recovery, not lifting or suspending loads.

IP68 Protection and Automatic Brake

The all-weather metal exterior is rated to IP68, helping protect the internal components against dust and water ingress. This does not remove the need for inspection, cleaning and maintenance after use in wet, muddy or corrosive conditions.

A mechanical automatic load-holding brake helps control the rope drum when winching stops. The pull-and-turn clutch allows the drum to be disengaged so the wire rope can be pulled out manually before recovery begins.

Waterproof Wired Remote

The supplied waterproof handheld remote has a 3.9m cable, allowing the operator to control the winch from a position with a suitable view of the rope, vehicle and recovery area.

Operators must remain clear of tensioned wire rope and never step over or stand in line with it. Wear suitable protective gloves, use a winch-line damper and inspect the rope, hook and fairlead before every operation.

Installation and Compatibility

The NVT15000 measures 642mm long, 215mm wide and 288mm high. It supports 254mm × 114mm and 254mm × 165mm mounting patterns. Confirm the available installation space, mounting structure, electrical capacity and rope clearance before ordering.
