    A little overwhelmed, would appraciate some clarification about WLL

    Hi all,

    I was looking at buying some rated recovery points for my Patrol GU III.

    I've started doing some research online to get an idea of the price range, but I'm not really sure if the ones I found are rated high enough. They list a WLL of 5 tonnes, and my car will probably end up weighing around 3.1 tonnes. However, I'm not quite sure if I should be adding a buffer..

    Thanks

    your WLL - will be determined by things like
    stuck in mud
    stuck in sand
    stuck in water

    etc

    if you fire off a PM (private message) to Threedogs - he manufactures them - and they are a good bit of kit

    WLL is a working load limit...
    As above, pm threedogs from outback ideas for them.

    Same price as your eBay sets, but uses quality aus steel and he tests the designs to 16+ tones before they get sold..

    WLL is a lifting term and doesnt really have much bearing in snatching 4x4 terms,
    Its the same as SWL , why ppl would want to over rate something the Manufacturer says
    is beyond me.
    My points are rated to tow at your max towing capacity all dat long. but heaps has been written on it
    so PM sent.
    Until someone comes up with a STD it may be all we have.
