Overview
The Warn Series 15 hydraulic industrial winch, part number 65931, has a maximum rated load of 15000 lbs. (6818 kgs). It is designed for medium duty wreckers, carriers and trailers.
The winch is powered by a 5.9 cubic inch hydraulic motor, which provides pulling capacity up to 15,000 lbs. It uses a hardened steel, two-stage planetary gear train with a 36:1 reduction, and it is built to meet SAE J706 and CE standards.
Key features
- Pulling capacity up to 15,000 lbs. from a 5.9 cubic inch motor
- Hardened steel, two-stage planetary gear train with 36:1 reduction
- Heavy-duty automatic disc brake
- Positive locking clutch that keeps the winch from jumping out of gear
- Meets SAE J706 and CE standards
- Maximum input flow of 16 USGPM (60 L/MIN)
- Anti-clockwise rotation for part 65931
Hydraulic power and flow
The hydraulic power unit controls how this winch performs. Pump output, hose diameter and fitting size all affect how smoothly the drum turns under load. Oversized hoses reduce pressure drop, while undersized hoses restrict flow and can heat the fluid. Use a filter in the circuit and keep fluid clean to protect the gear train.
Medium duty recovery jobs often involve repeated pulls, so monitor fluid temperature and the sound of the gears. A hot reservoir or a sudden change in noise can signal a restriction or wear. Check the valves and hose ends for leaks each time the equipment is serviced.
- Use a filter in the hydraulic circuit
- Keep hydraulic fluid clean and at the right level
- Watch fluid temperature during repeated pulls
