Designed for jobs on the farm, at a construction site, in automotive recovery, or for fence and rigging work, the NEIKO 02256A combines zinc-plated steel components, a long leverage handle, and a double-gear ratchet to give steady, reliable pulling without electricity. The unit’s three safety-latch hooks and a 6mm cable give a robust balance of strength and versatility for horizontal and limited vertical tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much load can this winch pull and what’s the difference between horizontal and vertical ratings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEIKO 02256A has a maximum horizontal pulling capacity of 10,000 pounds (5 tons). For vertical lifts the safe working load is reduced to about 4,000 pounds (2 tons), reflecting standard safe-practice reductions when loading varies from pure horizontal tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHorizontal (pulling along ground): 10,000 lb \/ 5 ton capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVertical (lifting): rated around 4,000 lb \/ 2 ton—use cautiously and per guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 ft (3.2 m) of 6mm steel cable for reach and wrap around anchor points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree hooks with safety latches to reduce accidental slip-off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety and durability features does it include?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponents exposed to load—hooks, gears, and linkages—are zinc plated to resist corrosion and wear.
