The Yankum Offset winch ring changes everything!

Synthetic winch line and recovery rings completely changed the world of winching and recovery. Then Alan at @YankumRopes came up with a solution to one of the only issues with the system when he designed the offset recovery ring. The non spinning ring stops any friction wear and heat from being placed into the soft shackle, and took the idea of the recovery ring a step further.
But when I got a late night almost panicked sounding call from Alan telling me that the offset rings also have another massive feature that no one had thought of, I had to try it myself!
Since I removed the hook from my winch lines, I can easily pass the loop on the end of my line through e center of the ring and use it as two snatch blocks in one. That allows me to do a 3, 4, or 5 part pull with only two recovery rings and three soft shackles and the whole setup weighs less than three pounds. To do that same thing with traditional snatch blocks and steel shackles, you would need to have four steel snatch blocks, and five steel shackles. Which is a lot of weight, and a lot of space taken up in your rig.
Now of course, these offset rings and the grooved fairlead that allows you to ditch the hook are expensive, no doubt about it. But once you realize the capabilities that they allow, you realize that they are actually cheaper than four quality American made steel snatch blocks and five shackles.
I’ve tested this setup a few different ways since this video, and am extremely happy with how well it works. This absolutely changes my entire mindset on how much gear I need to carry, and how I rig up recoveries. But as always, keep the working load limits of your gear in mind and be sure to stay within them. This technique can create a lot of force with a small winch and the gear your using, as well as the attachment points you’re hooking to on the vehicles needs to be kept at safe pull numbers. This is purely a demonstration of the type of force this technique can create.

While swinging my Toyota Highlander and trailer (approx 1500 pounds) around in the front yard to back into the driveway, the Toyota sunk up to the rims in clay muck. It had rained the night before and I "thought" I could make it. I grabbed a come-a-long to use the block function and ran a 15,000 pound nylon rope from the Toyota to a tree, thru the block and finally to the tow hook on my 13 year old, very tired 2000cc Kia Forte. Not only did the Toyota roll free, but i was able to drag the Toyota/trailer combo sideways for a couple feet until the tires got up on top of the muck. Haha. Not recommended, but it worked for me.

Casey: My background is my years in Mountain SAR using ropes, pulleys, carabiners and other gadgets of the trade to build mechanical advantage systems. Your use of multiple "Recovery Rings" (yeah, it's a pulley!) looks exactly like the mechanical advantage systems used in SAR all over the world.I've built many more hundreds of such systems than I can possibly recall. Some points for people (you already know this, obviously) to remember: The key to making a mechanical advantage (Block & Tackle, look it up) is that the pulleys must travel with the load. If the distance between the pulleys cannot change, then you have a Change of Direction, (frequently useful too) not a Mechanical Advantage. Friction in the system takes some of the mechanical advantage out of it. This is why SAR teams use high quality pulleys with bearings or bushings so the wheel turns. It prevents friction building up heat and damaging the rope, which I have witnessed happen. Rope on Rope Under Tension: Super Bad Thing! The friction of ropes on ropes under load can build enough heat to melt the synthetic fibers of the rope. Have seen it happen. Not that I'm able to get out and about anymore, cuz I'm not, but as much as I am super impressed with your friend Allen's products I wouldn't want to use his new Recovery Ring or any recovery ring. Why is because of the temperatures you measured on the rope. What I saw there was about a twenty degree temperature rise in a very, very short and very slow movement of the load. That tells me the friction is taking a lot of the pulling force and converting it to heat. I'm concerned that in a more difficult, more protracted recovery operation that heat rise would be much greater. So for me, my choice would be to buy quality pulleys (strangely also called "snatch blocks") where the wheel is designed to turn as easily as they can make it under the load. Those systems I am super familiar with. One more thing, about ropes. Terminology varies for the same thing. Static rope (or "Lines") are used in Rescue for lifting people, for building mechanical advantage systems to move people up or down the mountain. By "Static" we mean the rope is designed to have very low stretch, alike to your synthetic winch lines. Compare that to a Dynamic rope designed to have a greater amount of stretch which is used for rock climbing. If a climber falls the Dynamic rope stretches and removes much of the shock of stopping. A Dynamic (same family as a kinetic/recovery) rope would not be used for lifting as a lot of the work goes into stretching the line just to get it moving. Lastly, been a long time but I have had to use retired SAR gear (too old and worn to have human life at the end of it) to recover a stuck vehicle. That included a 300 foot length of 1/2" PMI static line. That was an interesting day.

@TheSwordsmon Жыл бұрын

@@thumbs3263 Yes, it does. All the rope segments are under the same tension, so as long as you correct for angle, you can calculate the pull by looking at each segment.

@ZKTJ Жыл бұрын

While your concern regarding friction is viable, the dynamic coefficient of friction for Dyneema is down below 0.1 yarn to yarn, so likely less against hard anodized aluminum. When you consider that the single line tension capacity of most winches mounted to a vehicle are 1.5-2x the weight of the vehicle, the amount of friction seen in a 2-4 line rigging situation is negligible. If this was a SAR situation where you were pulling my hand, you want to save effort everywhere you can. I have a steel snatch block with a bushing in it. It works well but it accounts for a good 40% of the weight of my recovery rigging kit. I'd be willing to trade some friction for weight savings!

@TheSwordsmon Жыл бұрын

@@ZKTJ I agree that saving a few kilos of weight is paramount if you're carrying it on foot! But when it's literally just a few kilos being packed into a vehicle, it's really neither here nor there when it comes to better or worse recovery gear. I suspect the coefficient of friction between dyneema and polished aluminium is also around 0.1, which means that if you're applying a (doubled) load of, say, 40kN on the ring, that's as much as 4kN of frictional force. That's quite a bit of energy having to be dissipated as the rope runs through. This is not S&R dealing with human-size loads!

Te coating on synthetic rope is usually carbon black or a derivative (same as used in tires) to help prevent UV degradation which is really hard on wood, rubber, synthetic fibres and many other items. This also why oil stains with pigment have longer warranty than clear oil stains (which most are now made with inferior soya oil now due to low VOC laws in many states and countries but I digress) . Yes this is a good technique but personally I would not use aluminum on a regular basis because of several factors that most people would not want to hear me discuss. Also (as mentioned) a ballbearing pulley is far superior if used on a daily basis but Casey is pointing out a method perfect for weekend occasional user that takes almost no space and min weight to carry.

Much appreciated. Your main point is exactly correct. Jus a clarification of how much force it takes to pull any given weight (such as a 30,000 truck). If the surface is relatively flat and the object (say the tire) is not embedded to a significant degree, the coefficient is the key determinant of pulling force. Multiply the weight by the coefficient of friction and you get the pulling force. Typically, in engineering applications, the coefficient is between .01 and .6, but can go well outside that range. When I asked my boss what the doevvicient of friction is, he said "Whatever you don't want it to be." According to Murphy, that means it will be high at the truck and low at the jeep.

And when you leave half your stuff in whichever truck you did NOT take, you will still be able to get the job done.... Yankum does seem to be the Premier maker in this area. Your factory tour of Yankum was impressive.

@Psyco913 Жыл бұрын

That seems a little too specialized to carry around a tool that's twice the size and weight. You need two snatch blocks/rings at a minimum to do any more than a double line pull no matter how you design them and this one can do up to a 5 part line pull. That's 60,000 lbs off a 12k winch on a 4500 lb Jeep. How much more pulling power do you need?

@gmccullough81 Жыл бұрын

I don't think you would want to use it with a single line due to the offset. Line would run at an angle. Might as well have two singles. More options. Stacked, separate, etc.

@TheSwordsmon Жыл бұрын

Why not just two singles? Better than running it through the centre, anyway. Each single only needs to take half the load. In fact, that's the weird thing about this "invention". What do you save? A snatch block. That's all. And against that, the ring (and the soft shackles!) have to bear twice the load that each of two snatch-blocks would have to, plus you have more friction. And you can't use separate anchor points, so you lose versatility.

@TheSwordsmon Жыл бұрын

@@Psyco913 There are two of them. All you save is 2 snatch blocks. And you lose a whole lot of versatility. And on your 12K winch, each ring has to bear 48,000lbs. So do the soft shackles. At least with 4 blocks, they only have to bear 24,000 lbs, and each can be fastened to separate anchor points.

@johnguilfoyle3073 Жыл бұрын

Well demonstrated! Dragging that giant truck with one basic winch was the best way to demonstrate the capability of the snatch blocks and the line.

There was another KZfaq channel somewhere that would always use block and tackle. He would take the weight of the piece of equipment to be removed and calculate the amount of pulling power it needs, and then make up the appropriate amount of block and tackle. Very impressive to watch a small truck pull out a very large tractor that's been struck for years. Granted, he had a winch with a lot of rope on it and copious amounts of tackle.

Casey, Great demo. A point for viewers is your quick comment at 11:30. It is important to put the rope through the center rings closest to the fixed end/load and through the larger rings closer to the winch/moving end. Not every viewer is a fast enough thinker to catch your quick comment. I used to be one of those midnight inventors. You honored Alan by hearing him out so late at night. He needed to share so he could sleep.

The other innovation is that you have created the first stringed instrument using winch ropes with the 'standard' rings. You got a decent note...all you need to do is set up another seven rigs at different lengths and pressures and you will have an octave...then you could play a simple tune like 'Clair de lune' except you would call it 'Clair de line'. Genius!

Hi. Really great and thanks for taking the time to make and share this. Need to look at more of your work! Modern winch rope and attachment techniques have revolutionised recovery and made so many aspects a lot safer. I think the simpler winch rings that are branded and tested and stamped are likely fine for most stuck 4x4s and the like. I’ve not seen the asymmetric Yankum types you showed and by preventing spin and keeping the larger number of lines apart seem so much better and very useful for the professional end of the industry or where bigger recoveries are being tackled. Great work!

@funvangroovn176 9 ай бұрын

While a traditional pulley block may be more efficient, to find one that is rated for 30K+ lbf, it’s going to be very heavy and very expensive…much more than these. For recreational use, these can be used in a variety of ways, are light and with minimal friction loss allowing your winch, alternator and recovery points to take less of a besting. The rings and kit to run them are incredibly light which translates to safer use, provided the user learns proper use of all the kit and understands the forces at work.

It's a very good idea! But I would recommend to make the core of the ring with polished stainless steel, so you have less friction and lesser wear from using it.
