Draws only 540kg, 1 ton NOT! (Rupture of the cable indicated in 625kgf). If he does what he is asked at the same time it is a trueil ... Seems an excellent value! What set easily at the base, and I think that a little fiddling you can change the cable and put a beefier, if someone wants to try! (Gaffe projections if the gear breaks, wear goggles.)
