Good Evening

We are having a really hard time finding a pulley we can wind our Spectra Cable up with for our Fork lift style lift. I was hoping somebody could point me in the correct direction.

Thanks

Use a bit of creativity. Two andymark aluminum hubs side-by-side make a nice winch pully and are already keyed for the output shaft of a toughbox.....

PVC pipe + PVC flange + wooden inserts for the pipe from a large dowel or closet rod = winch drum!!!!

Our current plan is to use one of these (http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=am-0064) with the tread removed and plates added to the side. We will have to modify it some and add a hub but we think it should work well.

May I ask where you bought your spectra cable?

Machined Delrin works very well.
