What is the rated capacity of the Ramsey HD234 winch?
The Ramsey HD234 hydraulic worm winch features an 8,000 lb. (3,628 kg) rated line pull on the first layer, giving rollback operators plenty of pulling authority for heavy passenger cars, SUVs and commercial equipment.
Is this winch a direct replacement for Jerr-Dan rollback carriers?
This specific Ramsey HD234 is designed as a direct core replacement for Jerr-Dan 10-series and 12-series rollback carriers. It includes the integrated adapter rod required to interface directly with standard Jerr-Dan manual clutch linkages.
How does the Ram-Lok clutch mechanism work?
The winch utilizes Ramsey’s proven pull-and-rotate Ram-Lok® spring-loaded manual clutch. This allows operators to achieve smooth and instant drum disengagement for fast, free-spooling wire rope payout.
How fast is the line recovery speed on the Ramsey HD234?
When supplied with the required 15 GPM of hydraulic flow, the Ramsey HD234 retrieves line at up to 28 feet per minute on the first layer, helping to speed up hookups and reduce dwell time on the road.
Does the Ramsey HD234 have a brake system?
Yes, it features self-locking mechanical security. The precision-machined worm gear drive automatically locks the drum in place the moment hydraulic pressure stops, preventing accidental freespooling under tension.
