Series of Hydraulic Winch

The YC3 and YC5 hydraulic winches cover 3-tonne and 5-tonne line pulls, driven hydraulically at 14 MPa on the YC3 and 16 MPa on the YC5. Drum speed runs 50 r/min on the smaller unit and 60 r/min on the YC5, with about 75 m of 13 mm line on the YC3 drum and 100 m of 15 mm line on the YC5. A planetary reduction between hydraulic motor and drum gives a compact pull-rated package that mounts on the rig floor or auxiliary frame for cathead work, tool handling and auxiliary hoisting, and hydraulic control lets the pull be feathered rather than switched on and off.

Core advantages

Designed around the operating requirement.

3 and 5 Tonne Pull Ratings

The YC3 is rated for 3 tonne line pull and the YC5 for 5 tonne, covering cathead lifting, BOP handling and auxiliary load-out without over-sizing a dedicated hoist for each task.

14 MPa and 16 MPa Hydraulic Drive

The YC3 develops its pull on a 14 MPa circuit and the YC5 on 16 MPa, so the winch taps the rig existing hydraulic powerpack rather than demanding a separate engine and transmission.

50 to 60 r/min Drum Speed

Drum speed holds at 50 r/min on the YC3 and 60 r/min on the YC5, slow enough for controlled load lowering and fast enough to keep tripping-side tool handling off the critical path.

75 m and 100 m Drum Capacity

The YC3 drum carries about 75 m of 13 mm wireline and the YC5 about 100 m of 15 mm line, enough for repeated tool runs without re-spooling between lifts.

Planetary Reduction, Compact Frame

A planetary gear set sits between the hydraulic motor and the drum, multiplying motor torque into drum pull while keeping the winch short enough to bolt to an existing rig-floor skid or auxiliary boom.

Feathered Hydraulic Load Control

Hydraulic proportional control lets the operator ease the load in and out rather than engage a mechanical clutch, which reduces shock on the wireline and lets a suspended tool be set down gently on the tubing head.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked about this equipment.

What buyers check on the hydraulic winch series: pull rating, drum capacity and field service use.

What is the main application of Hydraulic Winch in oilfields?

The YC3 and YC5 hydraulic winches take the auxiliary hoist on the rig floor: a 3 tonne line pull on the YC3 and 5 tonne on the YC5 for cathead work, downhole tool handling, pipe-string pulling and lifting auxiliary equipment or site loads. Hydraulic proportional control feathers the pull in and out rather than switching it on and off, and the built-in self-locking holds a suspended tool while the drum is stopped.

What are the advantages of hydraulic winch compared with mechanical winch?

Compared with a mechanical winch, the hydraulic unit changes drum speed steplessly through the hydraulic circuit, so the load comes up smoothly without a rigid clutch shock. The built-in self-locking holds the load when the drum stops and an overflow valve relieves pressure on an overload. The planetary package keeps the winch short enough to bolt to an existing rig-floor skid, which suits the frequent, short lifts of tool handling.

How does the hydraulic winch ensure load safety during operation?

The winch carries a spring-applied hydraulic-release brake and a hydraulic balance valve on the load line. The brake sets automatically on stop or power loss, holding the load without hydraulic pressure. The overflow valve relieves pressure under abnormal overload, which protects the drive and the crew rather than the drum itself.

Can the equipment operate stably in extreme low-temperature environments?

Yes. The full-series hydraulic winches adopt wide-temperature adaptive hydraulic components and sealed protection structure. Optional low-temperature heating and anti-freezing assembly supports stable startup and continuous operation at -40℃ low temperature, fully adapting to cold plateau and winter oilfield harsh working conditions.

Can the Series of Hydraulic Winch be customized in working parameters and function scope?

Yes. The configuration is settled against the host rig before the order: line pull (YC3 at 3 t or YC5 at 5 t), drum and wireline size, the 14 MPa or 16 MPa working pressure matched to the rig hydraulic plant, brake and overload protection, and any explosion-proof requirement are fixed to the rig layout, then written into the quotation and the factory test report.
