Winch capacity is a pulling figure rather than a lifting one, and the two are not interchangeable. A winch rated at 540kg pulls that load along a surface where friction and gradient are working against it, and it is not rated to suspend the same weight. Reading the rating as a pull rather than a lift is what keeps a winch within what it was built for.
Line type changes what the winch can be used on. Steel cable is stronger for its diameter and survives abrasion. Webbing is lighter, easier to handle and does not kink, and it is far safer if it does fail because it carries less stored energy. Capacity also assumes a straight pull rather than one over an edge or round a corner.
Some winches are supplied without a line at all, which suits replacing a mechanism where the existing cable is sound or fitting the line type the job needs. That is stated per winch rather than assumed either way. Webbing also lies flat when stored where cable holds its coil. Some winches are held both with and without a brake at the same capacity.
A brake is the feature to look for on anything holding a load rather than only moving it. Without one the load runs back when the handle is released. Powered options run 12V at 1000kg and above with wireless control.
