Sizing a Winch Line to an existing Winch chart
This Application Guide is intended to help you make a good decision on which synthetic winch
line should be used on many popular off-road winches. If your winch is not shown here, you
can apply a general rule of thumb: synthetic lines generally replace the equivalent length and
diameter of wire rope that is standard from the winch OEM.
Increasing the diameter, and thus the strength, over the OEM cable is common. In this instance, less of the larger diameter rope will fit on the drum, so be sure to account for that if deviating from the OEM specifications. Decreasing the diameter of the rope relative to the OEM specificion is not recommended or supported by ASR.
If you have any questions, please call or write:
