When using the winch at an angle, the roller fairlead guides the wire rope onto the winch drum. It helps extend wire rope life and keeps rope from building up on one side of the drum.

"This unit I adapted to a winch that I have on an old ford tractor. I have pulled a large number of large diameter trees out of the woods with it and it worked flawlessly. My only concerns are the bushings made of hard plastic that I can see as the weak point. When I was winching and/or skidding there was no binding or bending of the unit even under a large load.
I will keep you posted on the long term."
