How To Select Your Ramsey Hydraulic Winch

1. Determine the line pull required. 2. Determine the size (diameter) and length of cable required. 3. Where will the load occur… on the first layer of cable on the drum barrel? The second? Third? Refer to the Line Pull and Cable Capacity Per Layer charts of the Ramsey performance data to determine the proper size winch to meet these line size, length and load requirements. 4. Select the proper winch model and determine the first layer rating required (all performance charts are based on the first layer line pull ratings.) EXAMPLE: Customer "A" has a load that requires a 10,000 lb. line pull and has selected 60 ft. of 9/16" cable as the optimum length covering most of his use. His design requires a low mount winch. Referring to the charts in the performance data, he notes that 60 ft. of 9/16" cable will build up to three layers on a Model 700** and that winch provides 10,400 lbs. maximum allowable line pull on third layer. The first layer line pull rating of the Model H-700 (15,000 lbs.) is now used by customer "A" to determine the hydraulic pressure (P.S.I.) required to provide 10,000 lbs. pull on the 3rd layer as shown on the Model H-700 performance data in this manual. Line speeds shown on the charts are also based on the first layer. (First layer line speeds are the slowest of any layer.)
