Product information & specifications
Portable Winch APW6000 Battery Pulling Winch 1500kg (Winch Only)
The Portable Winch APW6000 Battery Pulling Winch is a professional-grade cordless capstan winch developed through a collaboration between Portable Winch Co. and STIHL. Powered by the STIHL 36V AP Battery System, the APW6000 delivers an impressive 1,500kg single-line pulling capacity without the noise, emissions or maintenance associated with petrol-powered winches.
Driven by a high-performance 3kW (4hp) brushless electric motor, the APW6000 provides dependable pulling power for professional forestry, arboriculture, landscaping, agriculture, off-road recovery and utility work. When combined with a suitable pulley system, the pulling capacity increases to an impressive 3,000kg, making it suitable for moving heavy timber, recovering vehicles, tensioning lines and pulling large equipment over long distances.
Unlike conventional drum winches, the APW6000 uses a 76mm ribbed capstan drum, allowing the use of virtually unlimited rope lengths. This makes it ideal for long-distance pulling applications where standard drum capacity would be restrictive. The winch is designed for use with 12mm low-stretch double-braid polyester rope, providing excellent grip, smooth operation and consistent pulling performance.
Three selectable operating modes allow the operator to balance pulling speed with battery runtime. High Mode delivers rope speeds of up to 16 metres per minute, Medium Mode offers 13m/min, while Low Eco Mode reduces speed to 10m/min to maximise battery efficiency during extended jobs.
The APW6000 features a centrifugal clutch and overload protection to protect both the operator and machine under demanding conditions. A stainless-steel rope brake incorporates both a cam cleat and integrated throttle control, preventing unwanted rope movement while giving precise control throughout every pull.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the APW6000 features an IPX4 weather-resistant construction, allowing reliable operation in wet conditions. The protective tubular frame and reinforced ground plate shield the motor and gearbox from impacts and abrasion, while the lightweight aluminium gearbox uses heat-treated gears, oil-bath lubrication and ball bearings for exceptional long-term durability.
Weighing just 13kg without the battery and measuring only 396 × 280 × 265mm, the APW6000 is highly portable and can operate in virtually any orientation. The winch is compatible with the full range of STIHL AP batteries. The AP 300 S delivers up to 1,300kg of pulling force, while the recommended STIHL AP 500 S unlocks the full 1,500kg pulling capacity.
Please note: This listing is for the winch only. Batteries, charger and pulling rope are sold separately. The APW6000 is designed exclusively for pulling applications and must never be used for lifting personnel or suspended loads.
Why Choose the Portable Winch APW6000?
Developed through a collaboration between Portable Winch Co. and STIHL, the APW6000 combines proven capstan winch technology with the reliability of the STIHL AP Battery System. Delivering up to 1,500kg of pulling force from a lightweight 13kg machine, it offers professional users a quieter, lower-maintenance alternative to petrol-powered winches while maintaining outstanding performance for forestry, arboriculture and commercial pulling applications.
