Overview
The Warn Series 18 hydraulic industrial winch, part number 74125, is a hydraulic winch with wire line for tow, utility and trailer applications. Its title gives an 18000 lb capacity, while the line pull is 15000 lb, so confirm the rating for your load before relying on either figure.
It uses a 7.3 cubic-inch hydraulic motor with a hardened steel two-stage planetary geartrain and a 36:1 reduction for fast line speed. A heavy-duty disc brake provides holding power, and the winch meets SAE J706 and CE specifications.
Key features
- 7.3 cubic-inch hydraulic motor
- 36:1 reduction
- Hardened steel two-stage planetary geartrain
- Heavy-duty disc brake
- Meets SAE J706 and CE specifications
- Universal fit for tow, utility and trailer applications
Sizing a hydraulic setup
A hydraulic winch needs a matched power supply, and the motor size and reduction affect how the drum behaves under load. Work out the flow your power unit can deliver before choosing a motor, then check that the hoses and valves can handle the pressure. Undersized hoses are a common cause of sluggish pulls.
Rope, fairlead and tensioner choices come next, since they decide how the line runs and wears. A roller fairlead reduces friction and rope damage, and a tensioner keeps the wraps tight on the drum. Plan these parts together so the installed line runs straight and clears the mount.
- Confirm hydraulic flow matches the motor choice
- Size hoses to handle operating pressure
- Choose wire rope and fairlead as a set

Vehicle fitment
No vehicle is named. The winch suits tow, utility and trailer applications, so confirm the mount and hydraulic power setup for the equipment you plan to use.
The two capacity figures differ, so do not size a mount or load plan from either number until Warn confirms the rating.
Installation notes
The wire rope, roller fairlead and tensioner are sold separately, so obtain them before setting up a complete line.
