The Handy Winch

Don’t Be Left Behind

Has your automobile ever been stuck in mud, a snowbank, or other unfortunate circumstance? All too many of us know the helpless feeling of being stuck inside of a vehicle that is unable to move. There are many factors that may lead to the inability of a vehicle to properly drive. Unfortunately, many of us are caught unawares and do not carry along the proper tools for pulling a vehicle out of mud, ice, snow, or even up a steep incline.

In order to combat this unpreparedness, enthusiastic off-roading manufacturers have produced winching gear and winch sets that can fit easily inside of a car trunk. These sets have all of the parts needed to properly set up a winching line, so that you are not left worse off than before.

It is EXTREMELY important to have the proper knowledge of your surroundings, winching gear, and required tools before attempting to pull your vehicle out of its unfortunate position.

Icy Conditions

Icy roads are very dangerous. Icy conditions make roads very slippery, leaving your tires unable to produce traction. Without the proper traction, many vehicles can end up in ditches on the side of the road. When something like this happens, a winch system can be a savior. By attaching the line to a solitary object, the vehicle is now able to be pulled out of the ditch and onto the road again. There are various ways of winching in icy conditions. If you live in an area that experiences this type of weather, it is important to familiarize yourself with winching options in icy conditions before attempting a rescue.

Mud

There are many of us who love to take our chances off road and into the wild blue yonder. Even if you are not an off roading enthusiast, there are plenty of times when a vehicle can become stuck in a muddy situation. All it takes is a little bit of rain and bad luck. Luckily for you, you are carrying your handy winching accessory kit, right? Not only can a winch system be a life saver when it comes to pulling your own auto out of the mud, but also it is great to have on hand to help a fellow driver.

Off Roading

Off roading winching gear is a whole other level of winch and pulley systems. Off roading enthusiasts push their vehicles, ATV’s, and UTV’s to the limit. What is the key to their success? They use high end, durable, and versatile winches from companies like Warn Industries, the king of winching gear.

Just google the term “off road winching” and you will find hundreds of amazing videos of adventurists pushing their vehicles to the limits. Using a winch for off roading requires a vast amount of knowledge when it comes to strength, angles, and pulling requirements. However, it is one of the most exciting ways to put your winching gear to the test!

No matter what you will be using a winch system for, there is never a reason not to have a winch system on hand. Vehicle winches can be purchased in strengths of 8,000 lbs all the way to 18,000 lbs. It is important to do your research, and talk to a professional about the best type of winching system for you.
