Overview
The Warn Series 9 hydraulic industrial winch, part number 30279, is a 9000 lb hydraulic winch with wire line for light wreckers, carriers and trailers.
Its hardened steel, two-stage planetary gear train provides faster line speeds, and an automatic disc brake holds the load. Motors come in two sizes, 5.0 cu in and 3.0 cu in.
Key features
- Pulling capacity up to 9,000 lb
- Hardened steel two-stage planetary gear train for faster line speeds
- Heavy-duty automatic disc brake
- Positive locking clutch that helps keep the winch from jumping out of gear
- Available with a 5.0 cu in or 3.0 cu in motor
- Meets SAE J706 and CE standards
Hydraulic power and flow
A hydraulic winch is only as good as the power source running it. The pump, reservoir, hoses and control valve must work together, and the flow available determines how quickly the drum turns. Match the hydraulic supply to the motor size before fitting, since a mismatch can overheat the system or slow the line speed.
The automatic disc brake holds the load, but it still needs routine checks. Keep the brake surfaces clean of oil and grit, and inspect the wire line for kinks and broken wires before each use. Hydraulic fluid should be kept clean and changed on the schedule the power unit requires.
- Check hose fittings for leaks before each job
- Keep the hydraulic reservoir filled to its marked level
- Inspect the control valve for sticking or drift

Vehicle fitment
It is a universal fit winch, so no particular vehicle is named. It suits light wreckers, carriers and trailers, so match the mounting to that application.
Hydraulic winches depend on a separate hydraulic power source, so confirm your setup supports this type before planning a mount.
Installation notes
Because this is a hydraulic winch, confirm that the hydraulic source matches the motor size you plan to use. Keep clear of the wire rope while it is under load.
