Load Cells on a Trucker's Hitch: 6 Different Ways

In this video I took 2 load cells and tested a Trucker's Hitch in 6 different configurations to see how different hardware setups effect the output. Here's a summary of what I found:

Trucker's Hitch construction:
Front Back Input Output Result
rope on rope carabiner 2.0 kN 3.9 kN 1.95:1
rope on rope pulley 1.85 kN 4.3 kN 2.32:1
carabiner carabiner 1.94 kN 3.9 kN 2.01:1
carabiner pulley 1.9 kN 4.45 kN 2.34:1
pulley carabiner 2.0 kN 5.15 kN 2.58:1
pulley pulley 1.84 kN 5.7 kN 3.09:1
