Hydraulic winch is especially designed for heavy-duty lifting, pulling and towing operations. It is a good choice when an electric winch machine cannot match your operating and performance conditions. Powered by a hydraulic system, this type of winch has more strength than an electric power winch, thus it is ideal for the most demanding tasks in construction, mining and marine. Our winches can be designed and built into any size and form to meet your application demands.
The hydraulic winches supplied by our company are mainly used to perform lifting, pulling and towing jobs in a variety of fields and sectors.
Before selecting a winch, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the various types of winches. We offer different forms of winches that range from small capacity winch to large capacity heavy duty winch to suit your specific needs. These winches can also be classified in many different ways:
When you are selecting a hydraulic system for your applications, there are several things you need to consider:
With so many types out there, it may be not easy for you to determine which type of winch is right for your business. So if you have any need, please feel free to contact us online and discuss your required winch specifications with our engineers.
This form of power winch is mainly composed of hydraulic motor, drum, gear box and control valve. The gear, hydraulic motor and brakes constitute a complete driving unit. Compared to the electric winches, the installation of hydraulic system is somewhat tricky since it requires additional equipment, such as pipes and fittings. And also it needs more maintenance care.

Both hydraulic and electric winches are substantial parts of winch products. Each type of winch has its own pros and cons with respect to strength, working environment, durability and ease of use. Here comes a question, how do you know you should utilize a hydraulic or electric system.
Advantages:
First of all, when there is already a source of hydraulic power, the hydraulic system can be the first choice.
Second, since the winches can deliver extremely high forces, it is the best option for the most daunting tasks.
Third, the hydraulic system is a better choice for mobile applications.
Finally, the compact hydraulic winch can be very sturdy and reliable. That’s why it is more often found in both onshore and offshore applications.
Disadvantages:
In spite of great strength and durability, there are some downsides associated to the winch.
One the one hand, it is more expensive than the electric type winch. On the other hand, it requires more maintenance care since the lines, pipes and filters all need to be checked, changed and cleaned regularly. And also the hydraulics can be very noisy.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Electric winches are not suitable for very heavy or large loads.
After knowing these pros and cons of these power winches, you can make a decision now.
If you have any question, please feel free to consult our experts.
Hydraulic winch is also called electro-hydraulic winch, which is driven by a hydraulic pump by an electric motor, and the generated oil pressure drives the oil motor, and then the winch runs through a reducer (or without a reducer).
Each hydraulic system design is unique to your specific application, but the basic concept of hydraulic system is the same. That is, the force is transmitted from one point to another by using an incompressible fluid. The pump and control valves are common components of hydraulic system.
Pump
The design of hydraulic motor is highly related to pump. In the selection of hydraulic pump, there are two main factors you need to consider:
First, the pump you choose should deliver proper flow at any required engine speed.
Second, make sure you select the proper rotation.
Directional control valves
It is the most common control used with your winch. The directional control valve has two main option, hydraulic or electric remote control with hand lever.
The valve control is also fitted with open center spool which can be spring returned to neutral. It is a safety design. Once the operator’ hand leaves the valve lever, the winch will stop running.
