Winch Cables & Accessories

What you will find here

This section lists 41 winch cables & accessories. Prices currently range from $6.49 to $1,067.59 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use winch cables & accessories for car haulers, rollbacks and wreckers, securing vehicles by the tires or axles and roadside towing and vehicle recovery. Secure vehicles at four points and strap the tires or axles, not body panels, so the suspension can move without loosening the tie-down.

How to choose winch cables & accessories

Compare the options and specifications in the table above and pick the size or configuration that matches your equipment and load.

Working load limits in this section run from 1.4 Ton to 9,465 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Strap tires, not bodywork. Wheel nets and tire straps keep tension as the suspension moves.
2. Choose fittings for your deck. Flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks and e-track ends suit different anchor points.
3. Use the right strap for recovery. Recovery straps stretch to absorb energy; tow straps do not.

Materials compared

• Steel (13 products) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.
• Alloy Steel (4 products) — Heat-treated alloy steel gives high strength for its size and is the material used for rated lifting chain and hardware.
• Polyester (4 products) — Polyester webbing has low stretch, holds tension well and resists UV and moisture — the standard for tie-down and lifting straps.
• Forged Alloy Steel (3 products) — Heat-treated alloy steel gives high strength for its size and is the material used for rated lifting chain and hardware.
• Carbon Steel (1 product) — Steel offers high strength and abrasion resistance; check the finish for rust protection.

Specifications to compare

• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• End fitting — the hardware at the end of the strap or chain. Match it to your anchor points — flat hooks for flatbed rub rails, wire or snap hooks for D-rings, grab hooks for chain, E-track fittings for E-track.
• Safety factor — the ratio between breaking strength and working load limit (for example 3:1 or 5:1). A higher factor means more margin for shock loading and wear.
• Capacity — the rated load for this item in the use it is designed for.
• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Thickness — thicker material resists abrasion and cutting better but adds weight.
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.

Before you buy

• Confirm the size or option matches your equipment.
• Check the rated capacity against your heaviest load.
• Compare the full option table above before clicking through.
