Thanks for all the help- From conversations with my electrical engineering friends the motor is powered by a fairly standard 3 phase arrangement with a 24V DC control system. Hopefully we will work out the exact voltage/ampage soon and with a 3-phase inverter get this thing up and running soon!

try 12 22 16 regt RA sites as they were the ones to use fsb3/4 iirc its the lift from the Bedford

Thanks- that's really helpful! I'm a little new to this, can you tell me what "fsb3/4 iirc" means?

Hi all, I recently managed to get my hands on one of these:

With the aim of eventually being able to use it as a towing winch. If anyone has any information or ideally a wiring diagram that would be awesome.

I have no idea about what power source this thing needs or how to wire in the controller- please see pictures here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
