Towing
Hydraulic Winches
Recovery-rated hydraulic winches ranging from 8,000 to 50,000 lbs, built for pulling disabled or damaged vehicles onto carriers, out of ditches, and off embankments. Hydraulic drive delivers sustained pulling power under heavy load without the duty cycle limits of electric winches, which matters when a tow operator is winching vehicles all day. Long drum and narrow drum options let operators match the winch to their bed width and cable capacity.
10,000 lb Hydraulic Recovery Winch | 46 fpm
Entry point for hydraulic recovery winching on lighter-duty carriers and service trucks. Handles passenger cars and small SUVs with the sustained pulling power that hydraulic drive provides over electric — important for tow operators who are winching vehicles onto beds repeatedly throughout a shift.
$1,582.00
PSHV10000
30,000 lb Hydraulic Recovery Winch | Long Drum, Manual
Thirty-thousand-pound hydraulic winch with long drum and manual clutch for heavy-duty recovery operations. Sized for pulling loaded commercial vehicles, buses, and equipment out of ditches, off embankments, and onto heavy-duty carriers. The long drum carries enough cable for extended pulls where the anchor point or recovery vehicle is a significant distance from the disabled vehicle.
$7,799.00
PSHDH30000M
15,000 lb Hydraulic Recovery Winch | 30 fpm
Mid-range hydraulic winch sized for the full-size trucks, SUVs, and crossovers that make up the bulk of roadside recovery calls. The 15,000 lb capacity provides a comfortable working margin over the 5,000-7,000 lb curb weight of most recovery targets, accounting for rolling resistance, incline, and vehicles with locked wheels or transmission damage.
$1,916.00
PSHV15000
30,000 lb Hydraulic Recovery Winch | Long Drum, Air
Thirty-thousand-pound hydraulic winch with long drum and air clutch. The air clutch allows the operator to engage and disengage the winch drum remotely — critical during heavy recoveries where the operator is managing the cable from outside the truck and needs to free-spool or lock the drum without walking back to the winch.
$8,084.00
PSHDH30000
8,000 lb Hydraulic Worm Gear Winch | Narrow Mount
Compact 8,000 lb hydraulic winch with an 11-inch narrow drum that fits tight mounting spaces on smaller carriers, wheel-lift trucks, and service bodies.

Hydraulic Power & Controls
ulti-way hydraulic pumps and high-function wireless controllers that run the complex valve systems on wreckers and carriers. Tow trucks demand more hydraulic functions than almost any other application — boom, wheel lift, winch, bed tilt, and auxiliary lines can all be running off a single power unit. These pumps and controllers give operators precise, simultaneous control over those functions from outside the cab, where they need to be during a recovery.
6 Function Wrecker Remote
Wrecker-specific wireless remote covering the six core functions most medium-duty wreckers run — boom up/down, cable in/out, and wheel lift up/down. Purpose-built for wrecker operation so the controls map intuitively to the equipment, letting the operator work from the recovery point instead of the cab.
$129.00

Wireless Retrofit Air Valves
Bolt-on wireless systems that add wireless control to manually operated hydraulic valves on tow trucks. Air-actuated arms weld directly to the valve lever rods, so when the operator hits the remote, the actuator physically moves the lever the same way a hand would. For operators running older wreckers or carriers that were built with manual valve banks, these retrofits add wireless capability without replacing or replumbing the existing valve system. Available from 2 to 16 functions to match however many spools the truck is running.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact our team and we'll get back to you.
What precautions should I take when pulling heavy loads?
Place a heavy blanket, jacket, or winch dampener over the wire rope during heavy pulls. If the rope snaps, the cloth can help absorb energy and reduce dangerous backlash. Ensure the item is thick, secure, and placed midway along the taut rope. This simple step protects you and others nearby during tasks like vehicle recovery or heavy towing.
How can I provide a safe anchor point while winching?
Use a D-ring or bow shackle rated for your winch’s pulling capacity with a tree trunk protector or similar anchor strap. Select a sturdy anchor like a healthy tree or vehicle tow point. Wrap the protector around the anchor, attach the shackle, and connect the winch cable. Ensure all gear is rated for the load and check connections before winching. This prevents equipment failure or injury during tasks like vehicle recovery.
How can I double my winch pulling capacity?
You can double your winch’s pulling capacity by using a snatch block, which is a pulley system that redirects the winch cable. Here’s how it works: Attach the snatch block to the load or a secure anchor point, then run the winch cable through the pulley and back to a fixed point, like the tow hook on your vehicle. This setup effectively halves the load on the winch by distributing it across two cable lines, allowing it to pull twice as much weight.
How much pulling power do I need from my winch?
Choose a winch with a pulling capacity at least 1.5 times your vehicle’s gross weight to handle obstacles like mud, snow, sand, water, or steep hills. For example, a 6,000-pound vehicle needs a winch rated for at least 9,000 pounds. This ensures enough power for safe recovery in tough conditions without overloading the winch.
How do I secure a load with my winch?
Use ratchet straps or tie-downs to secure a load safely. Winches are not suitable for tying down loads, as constant movement or vibration can damage their gears. Choose high-quality ratchet straps rated for the load’s weight and attach them to secure anchor points on your vehicle or trailer. Check straps for wear and ensure they’re tight to prevent shifting during transport.
What maintenance is required on my winch?
Regular maintenance extends your winch’s life. Lubricate all grease points, tighten bolts, and inspect electrical connections, especially at the battery, for corrosion or loose fittings. Check the wire rope for wear, flat spots, or broken strands; replace if damaged. Refer to your winch manual for specific checks. Routine care prevents breakdowns and ensures safe operation during tasks like vehicle recovery.
How do I re-spool the wire rope onto my winch?
Always wear leather gloves when re-spooling wire rope to protect your hands. Never use bare hands, as the rope can cause cuts or burns. Keep a slight load on the rope to spool it evenly. Guide the rope with one gloved hand while using the remote control in the other to operate the winch. This ensures safe, tight spooling for effective winching.
What should I do about my vehicles wheels while winching?
Place wheel chocks or sturdy blocks under your vehicle’s wheels before winching. This prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward, keeping it stable and safe during the pull. Use solid materials like wood, rubber chocks, or stones, and position them snugly against the tires. This is especially important on slopes or loose terrain during tasks like vehicle recovery.
Can I increase the line speed of my worm gear winch?
Yes, but it reduces pulling power by about 50%. For electric winches, swapping gears can boost line speed up to 50%. For hydraulic winches, replacing the motor with one of different displacement can increase speed. Consult your winch manual or a professional for proper modifications to ensure safe operation and avoid damage during tasks like vehicle recovery.
