Pro 18,500lb (8.4t) 24v Heavy Duty Electric Winch
When the job demands absolute power and zero downtime, the Novawinch Pro 18,500lb (8,391kg) is the industry standard. Specifically engineered for 24v commercial applications, this Pro Series model is the definitive choice for heavy-duty Faymonville trailers across the UK and Europe.
Why the Pro 18,500 is the Faymonville Standard:
- At Rydam, we frequently install the Pro 18,500 on Faymonville trailers. It handles the high duty cycles of industrial plant loading and HGV recovery without the overheating issues found in lighter winches.
- Integrated Roller Tensioner: A critical feature for professional operators. The built-in spring-loaded tensioner ensures the 12mm wire rope is always tightly packed on the drum, preventing the "birds-nesting" that leads to jammed cables and costly delays.
- Extreme Pulling Torque: With a massive 370:1 gear ratio and a 4-pole planetary gear system, the Pro 18,500 maintains consistent line speed and incredible "holding power" on steep loading ramps.
- All-Weather Resilience: Built to survive a lifetime on the back of a trailer, featuring robust solenoids and a weather-sealed motor designed for the grit and rain of heavy-duty transport.
Rydam Technician: "We have installed the Novawinch Pro 18,500 on countless Faymonville trailers, and it never fails to impress. For heavy duty transport where you are winching multi-tonne loads all day, the internal roller tensioner is a game changer for cable life. If you want the most reliable 24v winch for your trailer fleet, this is the one we stand by"
Is the Novawinch Pro 18,500 a direct fit for Faymonville trailers?
Yes. This winch is our primary recommendation for Faymonville builds. Its mounting footprint and 24v electrical requirements align perfectly with heavy duty trailer specifications, ensuring a seamless installation and long-term performance under load.
What are the benefits of the integrated roller tensioner for trailer use?
When winching heavy plant or vehicles onto a trailer, you often have to spool the rope in quickly. The integrated tensioner applies constant pressure to the rope, forcing it to spool neatly. This prevents the cable from burying itself into lower layers, which is the most common cause of jammed drums on transporters.
Does this winch handle the weight of heavy plant machinery?
Absolutely. With an 8.4-tonne straight-line pull and a 370:1 gear ratio, it is designed to move heavy rolling loads with ease. For Faymonville operators moving excavators or large HGV units, the Pro 18,500 provides a massive safety margin that protects the motor from strain.
Why choose the Pro Series over a cheaper alternative?
In the commercial world, downtime is expensive. The Novawinch Pro Series uses industrial-grade solenoids and reinforced gearing that can handle frequent use. Cheaper winches often fail during the first heavy duty cycle; the Pro 18,500 is a "fit-and-forget" investment for your fleet.
