I I . Winching Principles Calculating Fleet Angle To obtain the best wire rope service, the direction of pull will be on a horizontal within ±15 degrees and perpendicular to be centerline of the winch drum within ±5 degrees. If the fleet angle is bigger than the recommended angles, a good spooling cannot be obtained as the rope will spoon onto one side of the rope drum and possible damage to the rope or winch.

For example, if a vehicle weighing 1,200 kg is winched up an incline by 100% on the marsh road, the above formula would be used as follows: Where Wt: 1,200 kg, S: 0.52 G: 0.71 RPF = (Wt X S) + (Wt X G) = (1,200 kg X 0.52) + (1,200 kg X 0.71) A gradient of 10% is a rise = 624 kg + 852 kg...
Snatch Block An important aid to successful winching is the use of snatch block, which can be used to increase the pulling power of a winch or change the direction of a pull. A winch double lined with a snatch block creates a mechanical leverage cutting the effort required by nearly half.

Clutch Function The free-spool allows rapid wire rope payout for hooking onto the load or anchor points and is operated by a free-spool level. The free-spool level must be in the “Engaged” position before winching (fig 12) 1). To disengage the free-spool by lifting a free-spool lever in the “Disengaged” position, wire rope can now be free spooled on the drum (fig13) 2).
