£15.99Hydraulic Winches and PTO Winches from 8,000lb to 45,000lb
Novawinch hydraulic winches are built for recovery trucks, HGVs, low loaders, plant machinery, forestry and military vehicles. A hydraulic winch is powered by the vehicle's or machine's hydraulic system rather than its battery, which makes it a strong choice for frequent, heavy pulling where a hydraulic power source is already available.
A PTO winch is a hydraulic winch driven by a pump running from the vehicle's power take-off (PTO). Other installations use a dedicated hydraulic pump or an existing hydraulic circuit on the machine.
We have hydraulic winches for sale across the UK, with a 2-year warranty and free next-day mainland delivery, or you can click and collect from our Rothwell, Leeds site.
Why Choose a Hydraulic Winch?
- Repeated use: a strong option for frequent loading, recovery or pulling cycles when the hydraulic system is correctly specified.
- High capacities: the range covers vehicle recovery through to plant loading and heavy haulage.
- Controlled operation: matched flow and pressure give smooth, controllable pulling.
- Commercial fit: widely used on recovery trucks, low loaders, specialist trailers, forestry equipment and heavy plant.
Choosing the Right Hydraulic Winch
Don’t size on headline line pull alone. Consider the load, rolling resistance, gradient, drum layers, rope type, mounting and how often you’ll winch.
The hydraulic system must match the winch: flow rate, operating pressure, reservoir capacity, hose sizing, control valves and cooling all affect performance. For recovery vehicles and low loaders, base line pull on realistic loading conditions. Tracked plant, damaged vehicles, steep ramps and poor rolling can raise the force needed well above the vehicle's weight.
Hydraulic Winches by Series
- TORO Series: compact hydraulic winches up to 22,000lb for recovery and flat-bed trailers
- HEN Series: EN rated, 8,000lb to 18,000lb for recovery and industrial use
- HEN MAX Series: 20,000lb to 45,000lb for heavy-duty recovery and industrial use
- HW Series: military rated, 22,000lb to 45,000lb
- KX Worm Gear Series: 9,000lb hydraulic worm gear winch with strong load-holding
Hydraulic Winches by Application
- Hydraulic recovery winches for recovery trucks and commercial vehicle recovery
- EN hydraulic trailer winches for low-bed trailers and tractors
- Military hydraulic winches for defence and specialist vehicles
Installation & System Compatibility
The vehicle or machine must supply the required flow and pressure. Hoses, fittings, valves and mounts must be rated for the job. Follow the manufacturer’s requirements for supply, filtration, controls and installation. On a PTO winch, match the PTO, pump and circuit to the operating conditions.
No hydraulic system on your vehicle? Our electric winches run from a 12V or 24V battery instead. For help with capacity, flow, pressure, rope or installation, contact the Novawinch UK team on 0113 288 7766.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a hydraulic winch over an electric winch for a recovery truck?
Hydraulic winches can be well suited to recovery trucks and other commercial vehicles where a compatible hydraulic system is already available and the winch is expected to see frequent or demanding use. They can offer smooth, controlled pulling performance without placing the same electrical load on the vehicle battery and alternator as an electric winch. For vehicles where simpler installation is the priority, a 24V electric winch may be more suitable.
Can a hydraulic winch run continuously without overheating?
Hydraulic winches are often better suited to repeated or extended operating cycles than electric winches, but they are not automatically capable of unlimited continuous operation. Duty capability depends on the winch design and the complete hydraulic system, including flow rate, pressure, reservoir capacity and cooling. Always follow the manufacturer's duty-cycle and hydraulic-system specifications.
What hydraulic flow rate do I need for a commercial winch?
The required hydraulic flow rate depends on the individual winch model and the line speed and pulling performance required. The vehicle's pump, operating pressure, hose size, control valves and reservoir should all be matched to the manufacturer's specification. Do not select a hydraulic winch on flow rate alone.
Can I fit a hydraulic winch to a standard 4x4?
It is possible in some installations, but the vehicle needs a hydraulic power source capable of supplying the flow and pressure required by the winch. This may involve a dedicated hydraulic pump, PTO system or another suitable hydraulic circuit, depending on the vehicle. For many 4x4 applications, a 12V electric winch provides a simpler installation.
