Description
Order Quantity 1 = 1 Ring
For use with synthetic HMPE winch line ONLY
Weighing in at 2.2lbs you can now reduce your total weight in your recovery gear kit SIGNIFICANTLY. Two of these rings (and three soft shackles{2 double loops and 1 single loop}) can do the job of 4 standard snatch blocks and 5 hard shackles! That is a huge reduction in total weight and gives you a massive increase in configuration options! Gone are the days of worrying about corrosion or bearing maintenance after a messy and wet recovery.
High-quality HMPE winchline can handle operating temperatures of 190°-212° Fahrenheit (100°C) and typically begin to melt around 300° Fahrenheit (144°C) over an extended period of exposure. The Off-set Winch Ring XL operates in temperature bands less than that of allowable maximum HMPE operating temperatures ensuring your winchline is as happy as can be. Current parasitic friction loss while pulling at peak loads is estimated to be around 10% depending on the quality of the winchline line coating.

WARNING:
When performing a winch recovery, start with a single line pull (1:1), and work up to other configurations, ie 2:1 ---> 3:1, etc. The risk of overloading your tow/connection points increases with each additional configuration. Never exceed a 5:1 pull with this ring.
A 4:1 pull should ONLY be done by professionals, using 2 winch rings, a safety catch sling, and double loop 7/16" soft shackles are required. In these configurations, it is easy to exceed the rating of some tow/connection points, you MUST KNOW those ratings before use.
These are NOT designed for heavy-duty wrecker use. Use ONLY electric bumper-mounted winches rated at 12k lb or less. NEVER use Steel Cable with this ring, Only use a Synthetic (HMPE) winch line no larger than 7/16" diameter. Not for over-head use.
