Re: So you think you know how to winch?

Great rigging arrangement. Reminds me of some of the rigging we did for Army recovery of tanks and such!

cheers,

That was no ordinary Landcruiser!




Still, that was an awesome recovery. I am getting another snatch block!

Re: So you think you know how to winch?

They figured out a nice method or rigging the middle vehicle. It seems they are using a 12x pull by running the center rig's line back to itself.




It is the mechanism of this snatch block that I would like to know about.





The option shown in the other diagram shows 8x on the stuck vehicle.

This is simple and direct.

Thank you Sonic for the diagram. Everyone should have that printed out and in their recovery gear bag.

Re: So you think you know how to winch?

I think that one poster said it all when he said, the best tool you have is your brain. Of course all the other equipment helps some.
