LOPYXBR Steel Winch Cable 3/16" x 50 ft — 6x19 Strand, 4,409 lb Breaking Strength, Clevis Slip Hook

LOPYXBR 3/16-inch x 50-foot steel winch cable with clevis slip hook is a heavy-duty replacement cable rated to 4,409 pounds breaking strength for towing, rollback, crane and railing use.

This 3/16" (5 mm) diameter winch cable from LOPYXBR combines a compact size with a 6x19 strand core to deliver reliable strength and flexible handling. It's designed as a direct replacement for vehicle winches and tow rigs, and its corrosion-resistant steel construction and burr-free surface make it practical for repeated outdoor use and non-marine rigging tasks.

How much load can this 3/16" winch cable safely handle?

The cable is rated with a maximum breaking strength of 4,409 pounds, which defines the upper limit before failure under ideal conditions. For safe operation choose a working load limit well below that figure and inspect the cable regularly for wear or damage.

• Breaking strength: 4,409 lbs (maximum measured break)
• Use a safety factor—commonly 4:1 or higher for lifting/towing
• Inspect before each use for kinks, broken strands, or corrosion

What are the physical specs and materials of this replacement cable?

The LOPYXBR winch cable is 3/16 inch (5 mm) in diameter and 50 feet (15 m) long, built with a 6x19 strand configuration for a balance of flexibility and strength. The steel is treated to resist rust and the surface is finished to reduce burrs that could cause hand injuries or wear on pulleys.

• Diameter: 3/16" (5 mm)
• Length: 50 ft (15 m)
• Construction: 6x19 strand steel for flexibility and strength
• Included hardware: heavy-duty carbon steel clevis slip hook with safety latch

Which tasks and environments is this winch cable suited for?

This cable is versatile: it works for vehicle towing, rollback trucks, small crane tasks, and many outdoor utility projects like cable railings or sports rigging. Its corrosion-resistant finish and burr-free surface make it suitable for outdoor use, though it is not a substitute for wire ropes rated specifically for overhead lifting where certified fittings and inspections are required.

• Towing and recovery for trailers and light vehicles
• Rollback truck and small crane cable replacement
• DIY cable railing, pulley ropeways, and outdoor sports rigging
• Not intended as certified lifting sling for personnel or critical overhead loads

How do I install and maintain the LOPYXBR winch cable for long life?

Installation requires matching the cable diameter to your winch drum and securing the hook and termination properly. Regular maintenance includes cleaning, lubrication designed for wire rope, and replacing the cable if strands break or corrosion advances.

• Verify compatibility with your winch drum and anchoring hardware
• Use wire-rope lubricant periodically to reduce wear and corrosion
• Replace the cable immediately if broken strands, kinks, or severe rust appear
• Store coiled and protected from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use
