Technical Manual
Rolling Load Capacity Guide – 12V Vehicle-Mounted Winches
When using an electric winch, it’s essential to understand how slope inclines affect the winch’s effective pulling capacity. The chart below outlines the maximum rolling load each winch model can handle at various slope inclines.
The steeper the incline, the greater the resistance, reducing the winch’s effective pulling power.
Figures are based on rolling loads, such as vehicles or trailers on wheels.
Always ensure your winch is rated above the expected load for the slope you are operating on.

Important Tips:
These figures apply to rolling loads (not dead weight or dragging).
Ensure proper use of snatch blocks or pulley systems for higher loads.
Regularly inspect your winch and recovery gear for safety.
Basic Winching: Top Tips
Assess the situation from all angles before beginning to winch.
Stop, slow down, and think through all your recovery options.
Determine who is responsible for winching, rigging, and being recovered.
Understand your equipment and use the safest methods possible when extracting a vehicle.
Recognise nearby danger zones before using a winch.
Put some weight on the line using a winch damper, heavy backpack, or thick jacket before winching. This helps force the line down toward the ground if it breaks.
If the winch line is under tension (taut and ready to pull or already pulling), never step over it. Picture the line snapping while you’re standing on top of it!
If you’re winching a vehicle out of harm’s way, operate from a safe distance or stay behind your vehicle’s open door or inside the vehicle. If the line or rigging breaks, your vehicle takes the hit, not you.
If using an open-looped system (e.g. a hook), always “hook up” with the opening facing upward. This encourages the line to fall to the ground instead of whipping upward in the event of failure.
