I need educating... What is the difference between a load that is
"horizontal" and one that is "vertical"? To the winch, isn't a load
just a load? OK, the load could be one that puts the mounting plate
in shear, or in tension, or a combination, but what do vertical and
horizontal have to do with it?
Thanks in advance.
