How do I get more power out of my winch?
If you want to double the power of your winch, or if the anchor point is too close to let out enough cable for a strong pull, use a snatch block to double the line. Using a snatch block will double your load capacity and will allow you to spool out more cable to reach the maximum rating of your winch.
Do snatch blocks increase pulling power?
Snatch blocks are also used to increase the lifting or pulling capacity of wire hoists and winches. It’s common for this method to produce a 100% increase in pulling or lifting capacity – beware of the extra force this has on fixing / anchor points.

Can a pulley winch or lever increase?
Originally Answered: Can pulleys be used to increase the speed of lifting the load? Technically yes. However, pulleys are generally used to reduce the ‘effort’ it takes to lift an object at the cost of its displacement.
Does a snatch block give mechanical advantage?
The pulling effort comes from the winch as it travels through the pulley of the fixed block and out toward the load. There is no mechanical advantage to this fixed block, change-of-direction arrangement.
