I don't think you understand what we are saying. 10k on the winch line x2 creates 20k pull force. so that puts 20k of force on the snatch block (you cold think of it at the hook of the block). the rating on the block is only 10k. unless the rating is saying that that block goes with a 10k rated...
1)ok why would the military put a 10k snatch block on a truck with a 10 k winch that will pull 20k when using a block?????
2)why put a 10k winch on a 13-20 k truck?
I have some ideas. what do you guys think?
this is what I think. you can see on the mile marker block (I have one at home) it is 24k. exactly twice what the 12k winch is rated for. I dont understand how the military can match up a block rated for 10k with a winch rated for 10k. maybe they mean the block is rated for a 10k winch??????
