Dual Speed Electric Winch for 12,000 lb Recovery and Towing Work
The EWD12000 dual speed electric winch is a 12,000 lb recovery winch designed for towing, vehicle recovery and other applications that require selectable line speed. Its two-speed and clutch-shift structure allows buyers to select a lower gear ratio for higher pulling force or a higher gear ratio for faster line speed. Available in 12V and 24V versions, the EWD12000 is suitable for recovery equipment buyers, vehicle builders and OEM sourcing projects requiring an electric winch with automatic braking and flexible control options.
Two-Speed Operation for Different Recovery Requirements
The EWD12000 uses separate low-speed and high-speed gear reduction ratios. Low-speed operation provides higher pulling capacity for demanding recovery work, while high-speed operation supports faster line movement at lower loads. This configuration helps buyers select a winch that can handle both controlled pulling and quicker line retrieval within the same unit.
- Low-speed gear reduction ratio: 267:1
- High-speed gear reduction ratio: 86:1
- Rated line pull at low speed: 12,000 lb (5,443 kg)
- High-speed operation reaches 88.6 ft/min at no load in the 12V version
- Two-speed and clutch-shift structure for selectable operating modes
