Super Swaged Winch Lines
Super Swaged Winch Lines feature a compact design that allows for up to 26-percent greater strength than standard winch lines of the same diameter. Due to the swaging process, the outer wires of the line have a larger surface area, offering superior resistance to abrasion, crushing, pig tailing, and kinking. The winch line is already compacted because of the swaging, so there is less space within the rope to compact if exposed to crushing. The precision cast internal hourglass shape is designed to maximize sleeve to wire rope contact and cross-sectional fill. The lip covers sharp wires in the tail. The 3/8” by 56’, 75’, 100’, and 150’ sized super swaged winch lines have a working load limit of 5,700 lbs. with a minimum break strength of 20,400 lbs. The 7/16” by 50’, 75’, and 100’ sized winch lines have a working load limit of 7,600 lbs. with a minimum break strength of 27,200 lbs. These working load limits have a 3.55:1 Design Factor as per ASME/ASTM B30.5, formerly SAEJ959.
