7 Ways to Double the Winch Pulling Power
Author:
It is common for our new winchers to be in awe of what the compact machine can do. We look for durability and stability in the host of features that come with the device. The powerful motor, the aircraft-grade winch cable, the Gear system, and so forth.
The most important thing, however, is using the winch to its maximum potential by completely understanding the way every feature functions.
By properly utilizing the tools and accessories available with the winch it is possible to double the winch pulling power and to make the work easier and effortless.
Precautions and guidelines are in place for a definitive reason. In this article, we shall explore some recovery tips that will help you make the most out of your winch.
Staying in Pulling Power Zone
Applying Wrenching Technique: When working a bolt with a wrench, we find it is easier to get the job done when we hold the wrench at the very bottom of the tool or when using a long-handled wrench.
Thinking the other way around, a bolt finds it easier to pull loads when the weight is closer to its core, a shorter-turning radius.
This principle applies to the Winch cable being spooled in or reeled-in as well. When pulling the first few wraps around itself, the drum is at its maximum best, delivering a powerful pulling performance.
A winch’s pulling capacity is determined by the amount of weight that can be pulled with only the bottom layer of rope on the drum.
Note: The pulling power zone is the first and second layer of rope on the drum. Beyond 2 layers, pulling capacity decreases by 42%.
Henceforth, whenever you are starting a new winching operation, pull out the extra cable to leave just a layer of it wrapped around the drum, or ideally 5 wraps.
You can get the most from your winch if you cut the extra layer and stay in the pulling power zone(2 layers of rope).
This way you have maximum power when you are beginning your winching, helping the job to be done quickly while significantly reducing the load on the winch and its motor.
