HUGE BENEFITS
- Cut the equipment you carry in half, reducing weight, saving space
- Reduces line load and strain on winch
- Up to a 4 part line with only two winch rings
- No friction build up on the shackle from a spinning ring
- Reduce line speed
NO BABYSITTING
A traditional winch ring requires someone to babysit the winch line, making sure it doesn't fall out of the groove while the line is slack. Also, if you have ever winched while climbing rocks, the vehicle can lurch forward, causing the line to drop out of the groove, then the vehicle can slip back down, causing the full tention to be placed on the soft shackle. Needless to say, it needed a solution for this. With the offset winch ring, on a 2:1 set up, you can dive through the hole instead of the groove, now the line will never fall out.
Innovation
We designed the offset winch ring as the first to allow an extension to pass through the ring, whether it be through the hole or around the groove. You can now park farther away from the stuck vehicle and reduce the amount of times you have to stop and redo the rigging. Simply connect two winchlines by using the "cow hitch" shown in the image.

Winching Will Never Be The Same
Yankum has set out to constantly revolutionize the recovery world. We have done it again.
Single Ring Setup
With a single ring, you are able to place tension on two parts of the line, making one line act like two winches. This allows you to either double your pulling force, or redirect your pull, in the event you are not able to line your vehicle up with the stuck vehicle.
Two Ring Setup
Here we add one more winch ring. On a redirect we now see a 100% increase in pulling power over a single ring setup. In the alternative setup, we're generating around 2.7x the input, while distributing the force across multiple points on the stuck vehicle. This decreases the load placed on the winch, the winchline and recovery points.
