Subject: 12000# winch load semi?


NC SD
Need to load a Freightliner 112 semi tractor on trailer (2001 model year twin screw day cab) at a remote place. Working on getting someone to come and help pull it on, but with the weather in all lately around here getting things coordinated isn’t working out. Truck is two hours away. It won’t start and I will get brakes released. Just wondering what was everyone’s thoughts about using my 12000# winch (rated single line pull). Need to get it up on beaver tail gooseneck. I am guessing truck to be around that 14000# weight or so. Anyone know how these electric winches are rated, thinking a free rolling load like that would be ok with a winch that size?

What about using a pulley and doubleing up the cable and going back to winch, does this increase winch capacity? Just trying to think of a way to get truck loaded by myself instead of hiring tow truck or finding someone there locally to help. Thanks for any insight.
