Ancra Cargo's new patent-pending Cobra Winch Bar expands on Ancra’s winch bar line with a new hook tip design.
The Cobra Bar features a “cobra head” design. This spanner-style winch bar provides secure engagement with the winch, according to Ancra. The strategically crafted bend on the bar enables the cobra head to navigate into challenging and hard-to-reach areas when securing loads.
