- Description
Electric Recovery Winch EWX8000S with Bar Mounted Control Housing
The EWX8000S is an electric recovery winch with a listed rated line pull of 8,000 lb (3,629 kg). Its S-version arrangement places the control box on the winch bar, combining the pulling unit and control housing within a defined installation envelope. Buyers should review the selected voltage, mounting space and operating requirements before approving the configuration.
- Listed pulling capacity: 8,000 lb (3,629 kg).
- Reducer configuration: Full-steel gears and a three-stage planetary arrangement.
- Operating features: Free-spooling clutch and automatic screw-cone braking.
The supplied performance table contains values that do not match the stated 8,000 lb rating. It is retained below for reference, but a confirmed model-specific performance sheet is required for technical selection.
Steel Gear Reducer and Automatic Braking
Three-Stage Planetary Transmission
The product description identifies a patented three-stage planetary reducer with full-steel reducer gears. The listed reduction ratio is 230:1. These are the transmission details available for model comparison; no numerical transmission efficiency is supplied.
- Confirm the reducer specification for the ordered configuration.
- Request the patent reference when required for procurement documentation.
- Use verified performance data rather than general claims of higher efficiency.
The original claims of extreme efficiency and superior performance are not used here because no supporting comparison or test conditions are provided.
Free-Spooling Clutch and Screw-Cone Brake
The EWX8000S lists a free-spooling clutch and automatic screw-cone braking. The installation must allow access to the clutch, while the operating manual should define engagement procedures, brake inspection and any restrictions.
- Check access to the clutch after the winch is mounted.
- Request brake inspection and maintenance instructions.
- Confirm operating duration and cooling requirements.
The brake feature alone does not establish lifting approval, continuous-duty capability or suitability for every recovery arrangement.
Product Specifications and Voltage Selection
The original specification table is retained without changes to its data. The feature list describes a short series-wound motor, while the table labels the motor as permanent magnet. The actual motor type must be confirmed for the selected 12V or 24V configuration.
| SPECIFICATION | |
| Rated line pull | 8000 lbs (3629kgs) |
| Motor: permanent magnet | 12V:Input: 4.3kW / 5.8hp; Output: 2.0kW / 2.7hp |
| 24V:Input: 5.5kW / 7.4hp; Output: 2.8kW / 3.8hp | |
| Gear reduction ratio | 230:1 |
| Cable (Dia.× L) | Ø21/64″×95 ‘ (Ø8.3mm×29m) |
| Drum size (Dia.× L) | Ø2.48 “×8.8 ” (Ø63mm×223mm) |
| Mounting bolt pattern | 10 “×4.5 ” (254mm×114.3 mm) 4-M10 |
The listed input and output power values are reproduced as separate specification entries. They should not be treated as performance at every operating point or combined with the unconfirmed current table to calculate efficiency.
Original Line Speed, Current and Rope Layer Table
The table below preserves the supplied values. Its pulling rows stop at 2,000 lb, and its first-layer rating is also 2,000 lb, which conflicts with the EWX8000S specification above. These values must not be used to approve the electrical installation or establish the model's rope-layer capacity.

- Performance confirmation: Request an EWX8000S-specific speed and current table for the ordered voltage.
- Rope-layer confirmation: Request the applicable pull ratings and cumulative rope capacity for the listed 29 m rope.
- Electrical review: Obtain the manufacturer's supply, cabling and protection requirements before installation.
The original table is retained for traceability, not presented as verified 8,000 lb operating data.
EWX8000 Version Dimensions and Net Weight
The comparison table lists different heights and weights for the U, S and F versions. This page focuses on EWX8000S; dimensions from another version should not be substituted without confirmation.

EWX8000S Installation Reference
The S-version table lists 540 × 160 × 283 mm and 35.1 kg. The original closing description gave a different imperial height, so the approved installation drawing should resolve that discrepancy before fabrication.
- Mounting check: Confirm the 254 × 114.3 mm interface and four M10 mounting positions.
- Clearance check: Allow access to the clutch, control box, connections and rope path.
- Drawing approval: Use the current S-version drawing for the selected configuration.
A matching hole pattern does not establish the suitability of the supporting structure or fasteners. These requirements should be reviewed by the responsible installer.
Controls, Accessories and OEM Order Scope
The supplied feature list describes control-box switch operation, with F-type wireless remote control and a steel wire rope tensioner available. The selected accessory package should be identified separately from the base model.
- Published drive selections: DC 12V or DC 24V.
- Listed options: Wireless remote control and steel wire rope tensioner.
- OEM requests for review: Logo marking, product labels, carton artwork and packing requirements.
- Technical changes for assessment: Alternative rope specifications, mounting changes or control modifications.
Irun Winch accepts OEM orders, but the supplied information does not establish a standard customization menu. Irun Winch should confirm feasibility, MOQ, lead time and any sample or development requirements for the requested scope.
Applications and Equipment Buyer Fit
The EWX8000S can be evaluated by vehicle recovery equipment buyers whose installation and pulling requirements match the confirmed model specifications. The bar-mounted control box makes upper clearance an important part of the fitment review.
- Off-road installers: Review the mounting position, clutch access and electrical supply.
- Equipment distributors: Define voltage-specific configurations and supplied accessories.
- OEM vehicle builders: Request verified performance data and installation drawings before design approval.
Other capacities can be compared in the recovery winches range. Model suitability should not be decided from the 8,000 lb title rating alone.
Typical Procurement Example for an Equipment Distributor
This illustrative scenario describes a purchasing review, not a documented customer delivery. An off-road equipment distributor is considering EWX8000S for its recovery equipment range and needs clear voltage and accessory specifications.
Buyer Requirement: The distributor needs an installation reference, a confirmed motor specification and an operating performance sheet that corresponds to the advertised 8,000 lb model. It also wants to distinguish the base control arrangement from optional wireless control and a rope tensioner.
Solution: Irun Winch would review the requested voltage, quantity, accessory package and packaging requirements. Before order approval, the technical review would reconcile the motor description, replace uncertainty about the performance table with approved model documentation, and confirm the S-version dimensions.
Result: The intended outcome is a documented configuration suitable for purchasing review and installer assessment. This example does not claim a completed shipment, verified recovery result or measured efficiency improvement.
Electric Recovery Winch Questions for Procurement
What is the listed pulling capacity of EWX8000S?
The product specification states 8,000 lb (3,629 kg). The separate performance and layer table does not match that rating, so request the confirmed model-specific data before technical approval.
Which motor type is supplied?
The feature list states a short series-wound motor, while the specification table states permanent magnet. Irun Winch should confirm the motor type for the ordered voltage and configuration.
Are both 12V and 24V versions available?
Both voltages are listed. They have separate published power values, and the selected version must match the intended electrical supply.
What are the listed S-version dimensions and weight?
The comparison table gives 540 × 160 × 283 mm and 35.1 kg. Confirm the current drawing because the original closing text contains a conflicting imperial height.
Are wireless control and the tensioner included?
They are listed as available options. Confirm inclusion and component details in the quotation.
What technical documents should be requested?
Request the current installation drawing, verified speed and current table, rope-layer ratings, operating manual and electrical installation requirements. Any certification request should identify the exact model and configuration.
What are the MOQ, lead time and sample terms?
These are not specified in the supplied description. Irun Winch should confirm them according to voltage, quantity, accessories and OEM requirements.
