What if there is no fixed point to use the capstan?
Use a small load of winches or drag a particularly large load, or even three lines to get greater tension. Pull the winch line from the car, through the pulley connected to the tree on the back to hold the car, a pulley hanging in the trailer on the hook, and then return to the arms tree, this method can deal with the most need to use the winch, but remember, this method will make your winch overload work. The cost of lifting tension is the loss of speed when two or three lines are used. The speed of the double line forward pulling is half of the single line, and the speed of the three line is 1/3 of the single line. In addition to the mechanical principle of multi line, because of greater tension can be used two or three lines, the use of multi line to the winch line pull more from the drum, which is good, the inner layer of the winch drum line has more force than the outer layer, the underlying tension on the winch is generated by around the drum on the inner layer of the pull of the line. The 12000 pound winch produces a tensile force of 6 tons at the bottom of the line. The tensile force on the drum line drops by 1000 pounds each time, and when the drum has four lines, the outer line produces only 9000 pounds of tension. However, whenever you must stay at least 5 lines on the drum, the winch line will make all the pull from the drum winch line loose.
Pull the winch line back to the car and hang it on a front trailer hook attached to the frame. If your car is out of the trailer hook, the hook winch line in one part of the frame, and don't hook on the front axle, steering rod, such as shock absorber or bumper, pull these parts cannot withstand the winch, will be bent or broken. The towing hook of the winch line should be opened to the hook of the trailer so that the cable line will be broken or the hook will fall to the ground instead of flying into the air when it slips. For maximum pulling force, relatively easy to pull can be single line, and more difficult to drag should use pulleys and double lines.
Support Tony winch equipment trailer coupler buckle yellow coupler for supporting the Tourism Australia dedicated off-road!! can be connected with the fixed point of the winch line with single strand or double strand wire winch. The capstan single line means pulling the winch line to the fixed point and hook it directly to the D- lug, from the car to the tree. Double lines can double the pull of the capstan. The use of double lines requires the use of pulleys, a powerful pulley with metal hooks, and pulleys that can be attached to the D- lugs by other interfaces. Bolt type D- pulley hook hanging on the tree on the lug, the winch line pulled pulley, open the opening of the winch line around the pulley pulley.
