12v hydraulic winch?

Post by haynzy »

Has any one done the research into this? seems that pumps can be purchased with 3000psi plus and 30+ gpm. by using a ramsey 10000lb hydraulic winch and a motor that produced 14gpm at 2000psi line speed of 32 fpm could be achieved.
Was thinkin of like a 12v hydro pump from elec forklift?

answer is yes BUT current draw is a big issue .. and battery wieght/cost would be killer :D

IMO the trick to making winches faster is to biff the conventional motor on them and chuck on a bent axis piston motor
they will spin to 8000 rpm and take 3000 psi of pressure ... while producing more hp through greater effecency ... trouble is cost ... 8 g a pop ... :D

all the winch motors ive seen sofar are max rated @ 1250 rpm burst ... some of the superwinch rates higher and so dose the type r winches .... but none come even close to bent axis
