Various load conditions affect winch performance. The line pull required for a
specific application depends on the weight of the load, condition of the trailer
rollers, and the degree of the loading ramp incline. The chart below is based on
a single line pull and is provided as a guideline in calculating pulling capabilities.
WARNING
THE CABLE FASTENERS ON THIS OR ANY WINCH ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HOLD RATED
LOADS INDEPENDENTLY
. ALWAYS LEAVE A MINIMUM OF FIVE WRAPS OF CABLE ON THE
DRUM TO ACHIEVE THE RATED LOAD VALUES

 A 10% incline (6˚) is 1 foot rise in 10 feet.
 To convert from pounds (lbs) to kilograms (kgs) divide by 2.2.
 Capacity can be increased by using a pulley block.
