DWT 12500 HD EN
The DWT 12500 HD EN is a Dragon Winch EN series winch for rescue and special-purpose vehicles, where the winch is used regularly and the requirements are stricter. It comes with a cable tensioner that keeps the cable neatly on the drum even when pulling in without a load. On the first cable layer the winch spools in at 5.7 m/min with no load and 1 m/min at full load. On the last (4th) layer the pulling capacity is 3344 kg, so for a heavy pull, spool the cable out first so you work on the lower layers.

Installation
The 254 × 114 mm mounting hole spacing is a common standard for full-size winches, so the winch fits most winch mounting plates and bumpers with a winch mount.
At full load the winch draws up to 385 A, so connect the power cables directly to the battery and keep the engine running while winching.
In the box: the steel cable winch comes with a roller fairlead. Other contents are shown in the product photos.
