WLL overhead lifting vs WLL winching?

[RusM]

Will a hook/connector that is rated for overhead lifting WLL of 8800# be safe to use with my 8000# winch?

I would say yes. Because things that are rated for both usually are rated for less in overhead lift.

What are you using it for? What are you lifting?

A hook for the end of my winchline. Just winching out the truck an other trucks when they get stuck, hopefully there is no lifting!

Yep, most import winches your lucky to get a Grade 43 hook in the box while I believe Warn ships G70 hooks which is the same as legal tiedown chains. All hooks legal for overhead must be G80 or better. Your good man:awesomework:

True.

If it's rated for overhead lifting, it is more than adequate for winching.

I think it will be able to hold up to any load I can put on it!
