2 ton / 4,409 lb and 4 ton / 8,818 lb come-along classes with example VEVOR listings and NO_MATCH ceiling.
| Class | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| 2 ton / 4,409 lb | Light equipment moves, fence tensioning, shop repositioning under ~2,900 lb load after margin | Too small when required pull exceeds 4,409 lb |
| 4 ton / 8,818 lb | Heavier horizontal pulls up to the site ceiling after the 1.5× margin | Ceiling of this consumer ladder — not a recovery winch |
| Above 8,818 lb required | Heavy recovery, industrial pulls, soft-ground stuck vehicles | NO_MATCH — need higher-rated gear or a winch plan |
