RTC Winching Load Calculator

“This app helps plan safe winching and vehicle recovery operations by estimating recovery forces, identifying worst-case loads, and recommending appropriate rigging setups. It combines rolling resistance, gradients, redirection forces, rollover risk, and safety factors into a single planning value. The app provides clear warnings, practical guidance, and printable PDF reports for training and field planning.”
