Does Using Winch Snatch Block Affect Winch Cable Capacity
Updated 07/26/2021 | Published 07/23/2021
Question:
If this has a 4,000 pound line and a snatch block is used and doubles the capacity then is there concern of putting more strain on the 4,000 pound line of the winch? Thank you!

This is a really good question but the answer is that if you were to use a snatch block with the Superwinch Winch 2 Go part # SW1140232 to double it's capacity you would not have to worry about the cable. The cable would also have it's capacity doubled as well.
