]]> Comment on Winch Pulling Power and Snatch Blocks by Esther http://blog.promarkoffroad.com/2012/01/12/winch-pulling-power-and-snatch-blocks/#comment-859 Esther Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:28:00 +0000 http://promark.blog.probusonetouch.com/?p=4934#comment-859 The walls on the pulley are not very tall so any angle is going to make the rope want to slip off. Another issue may lie in the inherent "stickiness' of the rope versus a steel cable. When there are twists in the rope, which there will always be, it wants to roll off of the pulley where a steel cable is more likely to just spin on the pulley without going anywhere. Best thing to do when using a snatch block is make sure that it's able to move freely (rotate, twist and turn) in order for it to create a situation where the rope and snatch block are at the same angle. Put another way, if your winch is level with the object you've attached the cable to, the snatch block would be parallel to the ground. If your winch was lower than the attachment point (read tree), the snatch block should be able to naturally match that angle once the slack is out of the rope.

If there is much of an angle at all in the attachment the rope slips off the roller and gets wedged between the roller and side plate.
