![]() ![]() About 15 yrs ago, after I got my ARB bumper for my '94 Land Cruiser, I installed the winch I had - a Ramsey 8K that I kept from my mini truck. IMHO & speaking from my experience, there's probably a few under rated snatch blocks being used. And if you're rigged with a snatch block, we're talking something more complex than - "Run this line up to that tree so we can get going again.". Depending on how many wraps are on the spool, you could be near it's limit. If all your components are up to snuff (within proper specs) and in good shape, you would normally be alert when your winch is under load and you hear it approaching a stall. Thinking about a scenerio where something in your winch system would fail - that would be an extreme pull, obviously - but maybe not. I have not not heard or seen a snatch block fail and I hope I never do! So, I guess with some searching on Amazon, one might find an ARB snatch block that would support a 12K winch. ARB's website is not user friendly for a search with model number. They don't tell you maximum weight rating - just winch capacity - and obviously automatically factor in the safety margin for you.Įdit: If "ARB209A" is Googled, Amazon shows a couple of seemingly identical ARB snatch blocks ARB209A - you can't get the details and the other - no model, just says for winches up to 15K. (5443 kg) winch capacity and under" for the model 92188. (8165 kg) winch capacity and under" for the model 93195 or "Rated to 12,000 lbs. Funny how on Warn's website they just say: "Rated to 18,000 lbs. It appears that the Warn's Epic Snatch Blocks, are one of the few reliable brands and models that are rated high enough to recommend for a 12K. Both fall short of the highly suggested minimum of double the winch rating or 24K. The ARB is rated at 19.8K & the TuffStuff is rated at 20K. Hey, Jon - 1st, no disrespect intended, but neither one of your links has snatch blocks rated for the OP's inquiry for a snatch block rated for a 12K winch. ![]()
