    Gas or Diesel HD pickup?

    ABR U Saver and Pulley Saver - ANSI Compliant?

    I would like to pick up an ABR U saver as it seems to be a very versatile tool but my question is regarding the load rating for the large steel ring. It says on treestuff that the ring is rated to 5000lb MBS. If this is the case then is the device ANSI compliant? I thought it had to be a minimum...
