Electric Winch

Small Winches (Up to 2,500 lbs)
For small winches that handle loads up to 2,500 pounds, you don’t need a massive battery. A battery with a capacity of 50-60 amp-hours (Ah) and a moderate Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating is usually sufficient.

These batteries are compact and provide enough power for light-duty tasks, such as pulling small vehicles or equipment.

They are ideal for occasional use and ensure that your winch operates efficiently without being overly bulky or heavy.

Medium Winches (2,500 – 5,000 lbs)
Medium winches, which handle loads between 2,500 and 5,000 pounds, require a more robust battery setup. A battery with a capacity of around 75-100 Ah and a higher CCA rating is recommended.

This ensures that the winch can operate smoothly and efficiently without frequent interruptions.

These batteries provide the necessary power for moderate winching tasks, such as vehicle recovery or pulling larger equipment, making them suitable for more regular use.

Large Winches (5,000 – 10,000 lbs)
For larger winches that handle loads between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds, you’ll need an even more powerful battery. Opt for batteries with a capacity of 100-150 Ah and a high CCA rating.

These batteries are designed to handle the increased power demands and provide consistent performance for more demanding winching tasks.

They are ideal for heavy-duty use, such as towing large vehicles or equipment, and ensure that your winch operates reliably under significant loads.

Heavy-Duty Winches (10,000+ lbs)
Heavy-duty winches, which handle loads exceeding 10,000 pounds, require the most powerful batteries available. These batteries often exceed 150 Ah and have the highest possible CCA ratings.

For industrial winching, a lithium battery can be used with proper circuit protection. However, AGM batteries remain the most reliable option for heavy-duty tasks, as they provide steady power and durability under demanding conditions.

They are designed to support the significant power draw and extended use required for heavy lifting and industrial applications.

These batteries ensure that your winch performs at its best, even under the most demanding conditions, making them essential for professional or industrial use.

Using hydraulic motors and control systems powered by an electrically operated pump, these winches offer a hybrid approach and a fully integrated solution to carry out a range of offshore operations in both deep and shallow waters. They can be paired with equipment such as side scan sonar, magnetometers, drop cameras and ROVs, to name a few.

These winches rely on an AC electric motor driven system, which is used to lift, pull and lower heavy equipment, even in challenging subsea conditions. They can be utilised for a number of offshore activities, and are both safe and easy to operate thanks to their remote control capabilities. Even basic electric winches typically have higher efficiency and lower power consumption compared to electro-hydraulic winches.

Similar to basic electric winches, these more advanced variations also use an electric motor system, but the motor is designed to a higher specification for enhanced performance. They are also integrated with advanced electronic communications and a control system for even greater precision and safety.
