Question:

Can you tell me what the capacity is when the cable FWC7500100 fully wound on the drum? I understand the capacity decreases as it is cranked up.

I spoke with my contact at Fulton who said that at one layer the weight capacity of the Fulton High-Performance 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142430 is 3,700 lbs. The only other weight capacity that he could tell me is that with 140' of the 7/32" cable, like the 50' # FWC7500100 you referenced, wound all the way up the weight capacity will be reduced to 1,500 lbs. Anything between that would be unknown and you would just have to subtract about 10% of the weight capacity for each layer after the first.
