In cargo mode, the winch speed is closest to which value?

• A. 20 fpm
• B. 100 fpm
• C. 40 fpm
• D. 60 fpm

Answer: (A)

In cargo mode, the winch is kept at a slow, controlled pace to manage heavier or awkward loads safely. A slow rate around 20 fpm minimizes rope whip, load sway, and abrupt tension changes, making precise placement and stability much easier. Faster speeds, like the higher values shown, would let the load swing more and increase the risk of contact with obstacles or personnel, and would make placement less accurate. So, the best choice is 20 fpm.
