Rigging Techniques
Various winching situations will require application of other
winching techniques. These could range from too little
distance to achieve maximum pull using straight line
rigging, simply increasing pulling power, or maintaining a
straight-line pulling situation. You will have to assess what
technique is correct for your situation. Think "safety" at all
times.
How To Change The Pulling Direction
Change Pulling Directions
All winching operations should have a straight line from the
winch to the object being pulled. This minimizes the
synthetic rope collecting on one side of the drum affecting
pulling efficiency and damaging synthetic rope. A snatch
block, secured to a point directly in front of the vehicle will
enable you to change your pulling direction while still
allowing the synthetic rope to be at 90° to wind properly onto
the spooling drum.
