P1000 P1k5 Roll Cage Weight Rating?

[EmEyeZee]

I am hoping to rig up some kind of pulley system to help with loading bigger game into the bed. In the past (with a different SxS), I have used a simple hand crank winch hooked into the bed. With this new 1000-5, I can see some potential in using the roll cage as a higher connection point for the pulley system. But I cannot find anything regarding how much weight these cages are rated for. I do not want to fold up a crossbar trying to lift a 200lb harvest into the bed. Can anyone else point me in the right direction? Or, better yet, show me some completed projects for game loading? I have had little luck with the search bar.

Thanks!

Can't say I have seen any related information as that is not the purpose of its design.

I do believe guys have rigged them for the task though. One of our members has a small winch on the side of his cage to help with side-hilling.

Found this thread for you with some ideas. That vid where the guy tilts the bed and winches from the front is pretty cool.

P1000 - Heavy Duty Hoist for 1000-5

Looking for a manual hoist to lift large rocks / timber rounds and place in the bed. I’ve read through the threads about hitch receiver mounted deer hoists but wonder if they are stout enough. Anyone have experience with this?

I've been wanting to put a small "boat trailer winch" type winch on the bed frame of my P1K5 and running a pulley system to the upper ROPS members to assist in loading game and other heavier objects. Lot of outfitters in Co./NM use a small winch on the backs of other ATV's and pick ups mounted near the top of the cabs of the vehicles to get elk/mule deer into the bed of the ATV or pick up... If anyone has done this, please post up pics!!

I would think lifting 200 pounds would be fine. A lot of guys on here hook a winch to the side of the roll bar to get one side of the machine off the ground

Yeah soft shackle for the win

Agreed. After all, the ROPS is designed for keeping the weight of the SXS from crushing it's occupants, especially in the event of a rollover. Yes, I know, that weight would spread out over the entire cage (and not a single point where you might mount a pulley) if/when that happens, but a couple hundred pounds on a pulley hanging from the ROPS shouldn't be a problem.
