    Winch hook capacity

    I think you hit the nail on the head. The ratings for overhead lifting are alot lower than they are for winching. That would explain the low ratings.

    Winch hook capacity

    Even if you are just using it to change direction there is still double the load on the snatch block hook. You have the load of the winch pulling one way and the load of the object on the other. It still doubles the weight on the hook.

    Winch hook capacity

    Yea rizzo, you and I have talked about this before. The deuce snatch block is rated at 5 tons (10,000lbs) but if the shatch block is used at winch capacity it would have double that on it.
