Pulling capacity

Pulling capacity – choose the right winch for your needs

The pulling capacity of a winch is the key parameter that determines its efficiency and safety in demanding conditions. It defines the maximum force a winch can apply to pull or lift a load. When choosing a winch for your off-road vehicle, ATV, trailer, or work machinery, it is important to match the pulling capacity to the vehicle’s weight and the type of terrain you expect to face. This ensures that the equipment will perform reliably in both light-duty tasks and extreme off-road challenges.

How to choose the right pulling capacity?

• 4x4 off-road vehicles – recommended capacity is at least 1.5 times the gross vehicle weight.
• Quads and ATVs – smaller winches are sufficient for recreational use.
• Utility vehicles and trucks – require winches with higher pulling force, often exceeding 10,000 lbs.
• Special applications – rescue, forestry, or construction work benefit from hydraulic or heavy-duty winches.
