Hammer hydraulic winches

Hammer winches are powered by a hydraulic motor. This means you need to have a hydraulic system on your vehicle to use these winches. Depending on the winch model, the hydraulics must be able to provide an operating pressure of 135 to 175 bar. Heavier lorries often come fitted with a hydraulic system that you can use. If this is not the case, it is almost always possible to retrofit hydraulics. Features of Hammer hydraulic winches include fast rope winding and durable resilience. These winches can easily cope with even heavy loads. Their planetary gears are extremely robust and resilient. Hammer winches have wear-free hydraulic brakes that are guaranteed to hold the load you are winching. Hydraulic winches are preferred on tow trucks for recovery and towing due to the demanding nature of the work. ProLux supplies all Hammer hydraulic winches including roller fairlead, winch rope tensioner and counter-balance valve.

ProLux supplies professional wireless remote controls for winches for maximum comfort. A hydraulic winch is normally controlled on the vehicle itself using its operating device, also known as a slide valve. The disadvantage of this is that you are tied to the vehicle during the winching operation, with a restricted view of the load being recovered. A ProLux wireless remote control allows you to freely move 50 m around your lorry so you can watch the winch during the towing / recovery process. Are you still using a winch cable on your winch? Then why not try our synthetic winch rope? It has the same traction force as a winch cable but weighs less. It also winds well around the rope drum and does not pose the risk of injury caused by breaking. You can increase the traction force of your winch with a snatch block. This also makes it possible to guide the rope around a corner. Every tow truck should be equipped with pulleys.
