|
| ||
| Load Capacity: | Maximum load capacity. The load capacity frequently varies with angle of pull, friction, line take-up. This value represents the maximum rated capacity. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Lift: | Standard length of line, or storage capacity of winch drum. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Maximum Lift Speed: | Fastest loaded line speed. This can be significantly less than the unloaded speed. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| |||

| |||
| Load / Pulley Block? | A load block or pulley block effectively multiplies the number of lines. This affects performance in that two-line systems can double the capacity while halving the lifting speed. | ||
| Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
| |||
Load Hook
