![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi Neil, Tirfor wire rope winches, some of the heavyer duty ones that were used on conveyor belt tenioners used to have three shear pins where the handle banjo type of connection was fitted to the shaft that operated the winch had three aluminium shear pins. Where I used to work a few years ago there was about 7 miles of 30" conveyors and a few of them were about a quarter to half of a mile long each. The Tirfor winches on them had a pulling power of about 4 Tons. Regards Nick. Edited By Nicholas Farr on 30/09/2014 10:23:29 |
