- Looking at buying a winch........just not sure about one thing. Lets say that a winch is rated at "9000lbs single line pull". Does this mean that the winch (if so used) would be directly capable of l

- Yes. Some caveats, though. First, winches are not rated for overhead lifting. So you don't want to do that, generally. Second, the rated pull is only available on the first wrap of cable around the d
