Thanks Mike. I've actually found what looks to be a suitable worm operated hand winch - a bit pricey but there you go :med: Should be here on Monday - I've opted for webbing rather than wire rope. |

Not a big job to fit a motor to that :poke: |

True, but electrics over complicate it. Stay mechanical and no need to rig up a power supply ! It's for 'once in a blue moon' use and I feel that the total control turning a mechanical handle gives is well worth the minor effort. |

Much to my surprise the winch was delivered this morning so I've been able to get on with a few things: A/ I made up a taller 'main mast' - this time 42" tall to use the headroom over the chuck B/ I cut the 'Bi-Fold' arms - conveniently from the previous shorter mast as each are 15" long C/ I drilled the 12 mm pivot holes the the bi-fold arms and made up 'anti-crush' tube for inside the box section (it's 3 mm wall but best to reinforce it) D/ I made up a pair of pivot brackets to weld on the mast but decided that they were too wimpy E/ I re-drew the pivot brackets so that they encircle the mast with a 6 mm x 10 mm band F/ I made a tab to weld on the end of the far arm to accommodate the width of the winch base then drilled and tapped M8 to fix the winch in place. I still need to convert the base into a box beam, weld on the mast and fit reinforcing fillets, and make and fit a roller for the lifting webbing on the far end of the end beam. |
