Rolling fairlead or hawse for winch

[Kipper]

What do you guys recommend for a new winch setup?

A rolling fairlead or hawse for running the cable through?

Cable as in steel? You'll need s roller fairlead

I'd use a Rolling fairlead for FSWR and a Hawse for Dyneema rope.

Roller for steel, hawse for synthetic.

Synthetic through a roller will get pinched by edged and get nibbled until *snap*

Was just thinking in general.

But yeah, it's gone on to be answered for both

Think you'll find just about all of them come with the one that suits them anyway.

This is true.

Just for a point of interest there are some industrial winches that are designed together and use synthetic rope and fairlead rollers.

I couldn't tell you a brand or much about it. I've just seen a few in passing. I suspect the much higher gauge rope is a factor in this.

Something to look up if it interests you.
