Hydraulic / Electric Winches

NJ Series Compact Hydraulic Winches

NJ hydraulic winches are compact orbital-motor winches for light and medium pulling, recovery, lifting and rope handling applications.

Focus: Compact package, line pull and mounting space
Engineering boundary: Final sizing, configuration and interface require JST engineering confirmation.

Product Overview

Series capability and selection context

NJ hydraulic winches are compact orbital-motor winches for light and medium pulling, recovery, lifting and rope handling applications.

Designed for auxiliary pulling and positioning duties where a full heavy-duty winch is too large.

Motor displacement, line speed and brake requirement can be selected from available system pressure and flow.

Frame layout, rope outlet direction and mounting interface can be configured for OEM equipment.

Technical Data

Product Type	Compact hydraulic winch
Duty Range	Light to medium-duty pulling, recovery and positioning
Drive Layout	Orbital motor, planetary gearbox, drum, brake and valve options
Rope Capacity	Short utility rope to longer custom drum capacity
Mounting	Base, flange or custom frame
Selection Focus	Line pull, rope diameter, line speed, pressure, flow and installation space

Configuration Reference

Final sizing, configuration and interface require JST engineering confirmation.

Brake	Hydraulic-release multi-disc brake or project-specific brake for holding and controlled stopping.
Valve options	Balance, relief, anti-cavitation and speed control valves.
Mounting	Base, flange or custom frame matched to machine envelope and rope outlet direction.

Applications

Vehicle and trailer recovery: compact hydraulic pulling systems for service vehicles, trailers and special equipment.
Small marine deck equipment: net haulers, auxiliary deck winches and light-duty rope handling systems.
Agricultural and forestry machinery: pulling, positioning and tensioning tasks where compact hydraulic power is available.
Construction service tools: cable laying, maintenance pulling, fencing, utility equipment and compact lifting devices.
Industrial auxiliary systems: light pulling, positioning and controlled movement in custom hydraulic machinery.

Selection Guide

Compact hydraulic drive: orbital motor and planetary gearbox layout helps deliver useful pulling force where installation space is limited.
Light to medium-duty range: suitable for small deck winches, recovery winches, agricultural equipment, service vehicles and auxiliary lifting tools.
Flexible customization: drum size, rope capacity, mounting flange, motor displacement, gearbox ratio, brake type and valve options can be configured.
Smooth low-speed operation: orbital motors provide controllable torque at low speed, useful for careful rope handling and positioning.
Integrated safety options: spring-applied hydraulic release brake, balance valve, relief valve and anti-cavitation options can be added according to duty.
Cost-effective OEM solution: the NJ Series is a practical choice when the project does not require a large JSJ heavy-duty winch.
Required line pull: define first-layer pull and expected pull on outer rope layers.
Rope diameter and capacity: confirm rope size, rope length and whether single-layer or multi-layer spooling is needed.
To select an NJ winch, start with the machine's hydraulic power and the rope work the winch must perform. Key data includes:

Engineering Notes

Rated line pull: Light to medium-duty custom range; define first-layer pull and safety margin.
Rope diameter: Small to medium rope sizes; affects drum design, fairlead and rope layer pressure.
Rope capacity: From short utility rope to longer custom drum capacity.
Hydraulic motor: Orbital motor selected by pressure and flow to balance pulling torque and line speed.
Gear reduction: Planetary gearbox with custom ratio; higher ratio increases pull but reduces speed.
Brake: Hydraulic-release multi-disc brake or project-specific brake for holding and controlled stopping.
Valve options: Balance, relief, anti-cavitation and speed control valves.
Mounting: Base, flange or custom frame matched to machine envelope and rope outlet direction.

Final sizing, configuration and interface require JST engineering confirmation.
