Designed for compatibility with common winches in the 9,500–13,500 lb range, it balances high breaking strength with a practical safe working load for SUVs, trucks, and off-road vehicles. The included self-locking swivel hook and orange paint warning stripe add safety and usability for towing and recovery tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong is this cable and what loads can it handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable has a published breaking strength of 15,200 lbs (67.6 kN) and a recommended safe working load up to approximately 5,033 lbs (22.4 kN). That makes it suitable for many medium to large vehicles, trailers, and general-purpose pulling tasks when paired with an appropriately rated winch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreaking strength: 15,200 lbs \/ 67.6 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafe working load: up to 5,033 lbs \/ 22.4 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with winches in the 9,500–13,500 lb range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHook breaking strength: 20,988 lbs \/ 93.4 kN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the cable corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire receives a hot-dip galvanization finish that bonds protective zinc to the steel surface, improving resistance to rust and abrasion compared with untreated or merely oiled wire. Because it is galvanized, it tends to leave less residue on hands and equipment while still offering long-term protection in outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHot-dip galvanized finish for improved rust resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced oil residue on handling versus oiled steel ropes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable surface for abrasion resistance during repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 ft (1.8 m) orange paint stripe marks the working limit visually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the self-locking swivel hook improve safety and usability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable ships with a powder-coated, self-locking swivel hook that automatically secures under load and rotates 360° to reduce twisting and kinking of the line.
