    Interesting recovery aid or yet another recovery tool gathering dust?

    Hi all,

    I stumbled on this in my travels on the internet and though it was interesting, although maybe some back of a beer coaster calculations would be in order to make sure the loading of the line and/or device are within limits.

    How much use it might get is another story...

    roller

    The guy in the jeep could have engaged Low 1st and helped the winch, the car would have gone up ok, or gone up the step diagonally, rather then at 90 degrees. but he is a jeep driver I guess

    If he went up diagonally , he wouldn't be demonstrating the tool then would he. It obviously multiplies the power available , some sort of a vector type thingy going on. A bit like a vehicle hanging on a mild slop on a cable and you lift the cable or stand on it and the vehicle creeps forward whereas if you got behind it and tried to push you would get nowhere.
    Don't get to excited over the Jeep , you might miss the lesson.

    I understand it's a demo video. .. but what's wrong with putting a few logs, or building a sand ramp. .. Your still limited by the approach angle of the car.

    You can also use your spare tire to do the same thing.

    Another point of failure in the roller and a sharp redirection on the cable, a BIG stressor on the cable.

    Great bare hands on SWR ans stepping over the cable.. Awesome.;-)

    If you don't have the 'gizmo pulley on highlift jacks' thing, you could park another jeep perpendicular to your direction of pull, and run the cable over the jeep's bonnet...but this may devalue the cable and is not recommended if you want to protect said cable.
