12 Volt winch

[Oracle2024]

I have obtained a 12 Volt winch out of a Motobility van which was used to winch up a ramp a wheelchair including a patient. Its a compact unit and only has two wires coming from it Red and Black if i couple it to a battery it works and if i reverse the wires it works in reverse.
What I need is some information and hopefully part numbers and a wiring plan
I want to mount the winch on a wall and use it to pull a wheeled motorcycle up a ramp onto my Bike lift.
I have a big 12 V battery of 100amp spare to use. I want to also have a cable remote that is sprung loaded to off position so that i can control the movement backwards or forwards while holding my bike upright up the ramp stopping when i let go of the switch.
A wheelchair and a person cant be more weight than a bike going up a 6" ramp I need this to save my back due to old age.
Can I ask how to do this? The plate on the winch says fit a 25 Amp fuse to the battery live wire.

these work - the 25amp goes between the feed and the battery and just needs to be an inline fuse eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/RKURCK-Inl...ix=inline+fuse+25amp+12v,aps,122&sr=8-10&th=1


You do not need a spring toggel as the buttons only operate when pushed, push forward to let out , reverse to winch in.

thanks for that does it need a solanoid of some description?

I bought a 240v one secondhand for £50. They can be bought new for just over double that and it’s all complete with the controller etc.

An electric hoist.

Just got to work out how to rig it up in my loft so that I can lift and lower heavy/awkward items through my new loft hatch.

no its all in the little box with the wires coming out of it.

Whoa no.

That will require something to do the switching, it even has the rings crimped on the wires to bolt directly on the solenoid.

 

[Oracle2024]

So where do I obtain a solenoid that you suggest,I thought it may be the case that one was needed

 

[Oracle2024]

Sunray looking at your diagram its not quite clear to me where the wires go,the winch box neg seems to be going to the blue ring on the solenoid
why does it not go to the winch negative pole?

It doesn't matter which it goes to as all the -ves look to be linkled together via the solenoid

 

[Oracle2024]

Any chance you could point me in right direction for a solenoid as they range from quite cheap to more than a winch, please
Its only something I may use once a month.

he is runimg off a battery direct
