i agree i put 2 straps on my homemade one and it grips the trunk better than the grcs

i didnt i just rung lewmar who make the winches they said 1.3 tonne for the winch .the bolts that hold the winch to the back plate the braking straine is huge so dont worry about that its just the straps and there marked up

thank you

so thats all i need then ! loler man has gave my home made one a number so it s legal

my home made one

yeah sorry mate just took another look you are right .

no the lowering bollard in the picture is set directly center

mines the same as this ?

yeah i understand ive put a tonne on it droped a good load on it its been fine i have 2 10 tonne straps on it .it works best with both

yeah ive done all that anyway it has a number the loler man gave it when my rigging gear got checked is that what you meant ?

so would you say there was anything wrong with the way ive made it ?

yeah i see them wernt sure if it was worth it sounds good !

yeah i understand what hes saying but i dont understand is that if i take my top strap off .the design would be the same as what you say is better. but no matter what it will still pull to the trunk no matter what if theres one or two straps the force from the rope is still there no matter what

yeah mate i know that .i got told i need a ce number for my winch.just wondered where i could get one for it ?

so why is my desighn wrong !??
