WARN Series G2 18 HYD Hydraulic Industrial Winch with 10‑Inch Wire Drum

Engineered for continuous duty on wreckers, service trucks, and heavy equipment, the WARN Series G2 18 HYD replaces unreliable mechanical pullers with precision hydraulic torque. Built around an 18 horsepower motor featuring a 7.3 cubic-inch displacement, this unit delivers consistent pulling performance independent of vehicle alternator limits or electrical degradation.

• Hydraulic Power Architecture: Driven by a high-torque hydraulic motor that operates quietly under sustained load, removing starter drag, wiring heat, and blow-out fuses typical in heavy electric recovery setups.
• 10‑Inch Steel Drum: Machined from forged steel alloy to handle multi-layer cable windings without tangle or side-loading, extending line life and maintaining even payout on thick gauge wire or synthetic rope.
• Anti‑Clockwise Rotation Geometry: Factory configured for reverse spool direction, eliminating custom bracket trimming and ensuring direct mechanical alignment with pre-existing fairleads and anchor plates.
• Tool-Free Manual Clutch: Allows instant, one-handed line payout for rapid rigging and precise tension control, stripping away sensitive electronic controllers that fail in rain, mud, or vibration.
• Sealed Gearbox & Corrosion-Resistant Internals: Protects planetary gears and shaft assemblies from road salt, hydraulic fluid leaks, and impact shock, guaranteeing service intervals that outlast standard commercial winches.

Fits standard industrial mounting patterns and pairs directly with factory-installed hydraulic power units, eliminating the need for auxiliary pumps or complex relays. This model ships without rope so operators can specify exact line diameter, tensile strength, and cut length for their certified load ratings. The modular housing accepts commercial fairleads and snatch blocks, streamlining retrofit installs on fleet assets where repair windows shrink daily.
