.Already did that for that reason.
Iv looked at swaged cable, but im also looking at synthetic
We are having a bunch of utility pole construction around here - and I always get GooGooEyed looking at the pole trucks. All of them have synthetic on their boom winch. It appears to be one inch Sampson Rope but that is just a guess... The difference though in that is that they lift poles and transformers. Mostly in the thousand to two thousand pound range.
I know reading the wire rope vs synthetic specifications says the wire won't carry as much weight...
Wire isn't as easily damaged and sunlight deterioration is a real posssibility with synthetic...
