NOTE:   

Kingsley Enterprises Pty. Ltd. recommend that prior to using this 

recovery equipment, users should undertake formal training from an 
accredited industry body in winch use and vehicle recovery. 

 

 Calculating Fleet Angle 

To obtain the best rope service, the direction of pull should be on a horizontal 
plane within ±15 degrees and perpendicular to the centreline of the winch drum 
within ±15 degrees. If the fleet angle is larger than the recommended angles, 
incorrect spooling may occur, resulting in the rope loading onto one side of the 
rope drum and possible damage to the rope or winch.   

 Load Rating 

Load and speed varies according to how much rope is 
on the drum. The first layer of rope on the drum 
delivers the slowest speed and the maximum load. A 
full drum delivers the maximum speed and the 
minimum load.

 (Refer to winch specifications Pages 28 – 30)

.

 

 

For this reason, automotive winches are rated at their 
first layer capacities. 

 Duty Cycle Ratings 

Duty cycle ratings usually specify continuous, intermittent, or special duty (typically 
expressed in minutes). The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) lists the 
following ratings: 
 

 

S1 - Continuous duty   
The motor works at a constant load for enough time to reach temperature 
equilibrium.   

 

S2 - Short-time duty   
The motor works at a constant load, but not long enough to reach temperature

 

equilibrium, and the rest periods are long enough for the motor to reach ambient 
temperature. 

 

S3 - Intermittent periodic duty   
Sequential, identical run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature 
equilibrium is never reached. Starting current has little effect on temperature rise.

 

 

All automotive winches are rated at S3 intermittent periodic duty

.
