Re: lift winch ideas anyone?

Thanks Eric and Timy! We have the FP motors, and the small motors left in the KOPs. We might consider ordering a few CIMs.

How does this idea sound? A CIM (or two CIMs) attached to a worm gear/ gear set that turns one drum. To turn the other drum, spur gears are between the two drums causing them to counter-rotate.

Can we use more than 4 CIMs? I forget what the rule is.

Thanks!
