Calculate Winch Capacity



Formula

The formula to calculate the winch capacity (WC) is:

\[ WC = LP \cdot (1 + (CL - 1) \cdot 0.1) \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the line pull (LP) is 5000 pounds and the cable layer (CL) is 3. Using the formula:

\[ WC = 5000 \cdot (1 + (3 - 1) \cdot 0.1) \]

We get:

\[ WC = 5000 \cdot 1.2 = 6000 \, \text{pounds} \]

So, the winch capacity is 6000 pounds.
