DK2 Samurai Winch Planetary Gear 12000lb with Synthetic Rope

Description

Feel the torque of the series-wound motor engage as the DK2 Samurai Synthetic Rope Winch extracts your stuck truck from axle-deep clay. This 12,000-lb recovery winch uses high-strength synthetic line to eliminate cable whip hazards. The double-cone brake holds dead weight. Operators must spool synthetic rope under initial tension to prevent drum burrowing.

Cast aluminum housings and a hardened steel drum resist rotational torque loads without casing deflection. The 12-volt DC motor pulls eighty free amps and spikes to 460 full-load amps under peak stall draw. External chassis measurements span 21.3 inches long, 6.3 inches wide, and 9.8 inches high with an unboxed weight of 66 lbs. Hardened three-stage planetary gear sets mesh at a 265:1 reduction ratio to manage heavy utility recovery.

Key Features of DK2 S12000-SR

Off-road recovery crews buy DK2 S12000-SR electric winches to pull bogged utility trucks out of dangerous ditches. Commercial vehicle recovery winch pricing balances high motor horsepower with safe synthetic line handling.

• Series-wound 6.5 HP motor delivers twelve thousand pounds of single-line pulling capacity.
• Three-stage planetary gear reduction delivers consistent mechanical torque under dead weight loads.
• Automatic double cone load-holding brake locks the drum to stop rope slippage.
• Synthetic winch rope spans eighty-five feet with a heavy forged clevis hook.
• Polished aluminum hawse fairlead prevents synthetic rope chafing during angled pulls.
• Heavy-duty sealed contactor switch blocks water, mud, and trail grit intrusion.
• Ergonomic handheld remote switch on twelve-foot lead provides safe standoff distance.
• Free-spooling rotary clutch ring disengages the gear train for fast manual line payout.

Dynamometer Stall Torque Pull Metrics

Dynamometer bench testing confirms the 6.5 HP motor outputs 12,000 lbs of line pull on the bare drum layer at 460 stall amps. Free line retrieval speed clocks at 21 feet per minute, dropping to 4.2 feet per minute under full mechanical load. The internal double-cone brake holds a 13,000-lb static dead weight without drum creep. Casing temperature rises 48 degrees Fahrenheit above ambient conditions after three continuous full-length pulls. Gear backlash measures under 0.015 inches across the planetary carrier assemblies under full bench test.

Field Recovery Rigging Maintenance Limits

Handling synthetic rope avoids puncture cuts from broken wire strands when pulling line through your hands. Stand clear of the cable tension zone and use the heavy rubber line damper during every pull. Do not use this 12,000-lb recovery winch for overhead lifting operations or transport towing without dedicated chassis tie-down chains.

• Rinse grit and mud sludge from synthetic rope fibers with clean water each month.
• Inspect aluminum hawse fairlead surfaces for burrs that snag fibers.
• Check motor electrical power connections for tightness after heavy pull cycles.
