EWB20000 20,000lb Winch with Aircraft Grade Steel Cable by Runva

The Runva EWB20000 Premium with steel cable is a 20,000lb (9072kg) extreme duty electric winch spooled with 26.5m of 12mm aircraft grade steel cable. Runva builds it for recreational and commercial work, from expedition Unimogs and Iveco Dailys to tow trucks, marine and military applications, and it's available in 12V or 24V.

Every part of it is IP67 rated, so the whole winch is sealed against water, dust and dirt ingress, not only the motor. Drive comes through a full steel three-stage planetary gear train with a 370:1 ratio, and an automatic ratchet brake inside the gearbox is designed to hold the load when you stop winching. Runva fits the same brake to its vertical lifting winch, and it works without brake pads.

Rated pull depends on how much cable is on the drum. Runva rates the EWB20000 at 20,000lb (9072kg) on the first layer, 16,129lb (7316kg) on the second and 11,628lb (5274kg) on the fourth, when all 26.5m is wound on. On the electrical side, the 24V motor draws 253A at full load compared with 430A for the 12V. Most Unimogs and tow trucks run a 24V system, and on those rigs the 24V version is the natural fit.

The stainless steel rotary clutch freespools the drum, and the gearbox rotates so you can put the clutch handle where it's easiest to reach. For in-cab control, it's compatible with the optional Runva Air Clutch. Runva also offers an optional cable tensioner for commercial applications. Private use is covered by a limited 5 year electrical and lifetime mechanical warranty, and commercial use by a limited 18 month warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the steel cable and synthetic rope EWB20000?

The winch itself is the same: 20,000lb (9072kg) rated line pull, 12V or 24V motors, the 370:1 gearbox, the ratchet brake and full IP67 sealing. This version carries 12mm x 26.5m aircraft grade steel cable and comes with a stainless steel roller fairlead. The synthetic version carries 12mm x 25m synthetic rope and comes with an aluminium hawse fairlead.

Should I choose the 12V or 24V EWB20000 steel cable winch?

Both are rated to 20,000lb (9072kg). The 12V motor is 5.5kW/7.4HP and the 24V motor is 6.1kW/8.2HP, and at full rated load Runva lists 430A on 12V against 253A on 24V. Choose the voltage that matches your vehicle's electrical system, and have a qualified auto electrician confirm your battery and charging setup before installation.

How much does the line pull drop on the outer cable layers?

Runva rates the EWB20000 at 20,000lb (9072kg) on the first layer, 16,129lb (7316kg) on the second, 13,513lb (6129kg) on the third and 11,628lb (5274kg) on the fourth. Spooling more cable off the drum keeps you closer to the full rating on heavy pulls. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for rigging your specific recovery.

What is the line speed of the Runva EWB20000?

On the first layer with no load, Runva lists 8.0m/min on 12V and 8.4m/min on 24V. At the full 20,000lb (9072kg) rating it's 1.2m/min on 12V and 1.3m/min on 24V.

Is the whole EWB20000 IP67 rated?

Yes. Runva rates the entire EWB20000 Premium to IP67, a dust-tight rating with protection against temporary immersion in water, rather than sealing the motor alone.

How does the ratchet brake hold the load?

The EWB20000 uses an automatic ratchet load-holding brake inside the gearbox instead of brake pads. It's the same brake Runva uses in its vertical lifting winch and is designed to hold the load when you stop winching. Inspect the winch and cable before each use.

What bolt pattern does the EWB20000 steel cable winch use?

Two patterns, 254mm x 114.3mm and 254mm x 165.1mm, both with 8 x M12 bolts. The winch measures 636mm x 214mm x 252mm overall. Consult a licensed mechanic or engineer to confirm your bar or carrier is rated for a winch of this capacity.

What warranty comes with the Runva EWB20000 Premium?

A limited 5 year electrical and lifetime mechanical warranty for private use, and a limited 18 month warranty for commercial use. Full terms are set by Runva.

Prefer synthetic rope? The same EWB20000 Premium is also listed with synthetic rope in 12V or 24V. You can also compare it with our other heavy duty truck winches or browse the full 4x4 winch range.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time.
