Product Information

Full details

The Winchmax 17,000lb 24V Electric Winch is a heavy-duty recovery solution designed for operators of vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes who require reliable, high-capacity pulling power. Featuring a powerful 6.8hp series-wound motor and rugged steel construction, it excels in demanding field conditions, though its substantial weight and 24V power requirement mean it is strictly suited for larger industrial or commercial vehicle setups.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install this on a standard 12V truck?

No, this specific model is designed strictly for 24V electrical systems.

Does the warranty cover the motor?

Winchmax provides a lifetime mechanical warranty, which covers the core components of the winch.

How long is the steel cable?

The winch includes 26 meters of 12mm multi-strand galvanized steel wire rope.

Is the solenoid waterproof?

Yes, it is rated at IP67, making it highly resistant to water and dust.

What standards does this winch meet?

It is CE certified and manufactured to ISO9001 quality management standards.

Can I use synthetic rope instead of the steel cable?

While the winch is designed for steel, many users upgrade to synthetic rope; however, ensure you use a hawse fairlead instead of the included roller fairlead if you switch.

Troubleshooting

Winch fails to respond to remote commands

Check the remote batteries and ensure the receiver is properly wired to the solenoid.

Motor runs but drum does not rotate

Check the clutch engagement lever to ensure it is fully locked in the 'engaged' position.

Reduced pulling power under load

Verify that your battery system is fully charged and that all heavy-gauge electrical connections are clean and tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 17,000lb pulling capacity for large vehicles
  • Durable billet steel gearbox casing
  • IP67 waterproof rating for weather resistance
  • Lifetime mechanical warranty included
  • CE certified and ISO9001 compliant

Cons

  • Requires a 24V power system, limiting compatibility
  • Heavy unit requiring robust mounting points
  • Steel rope requires more maintenance than synthetic options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a vehicle equipped with a 24V electrical system, as this unit is not compatible with standard 12V passenger vehicle batteries. Ensure the mounting plate is rated for at least 17,000lb to prevent structural failure under load. For care, regularly inspect the galvanized steel rope for fraying or kinking and apply a light lubricant to prevent corrosion. The fairlead rollers should be kept free of debris to ensure smooth rope movement. Periodically test the solenoid connections and remote battery levels to ensure the winch is ready for emergency use.
