WINCH CAPACITY BY LAYER — WHAT EVERY WRAP COSTS YOU
Winch Pull Capacity by Layer — Know Your Real Line Pull at Depth
Layer 1 gives you full rated pull. Every layer above it reduces that number. Calculate your actual pull for any drum depth.
Enter your rated pull on the first layer and the layer you are pulling from. The calculator returns the line pull available at that layer.
Most recoveries happen with multiple layers wound. Running a winch beyond its actual capacity at that layer depth stalls the motor and can damage the winch.
