Re: Constructing a simple Two Drum Winch .

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/41279?

This is a new and improved two drum winch design . It will allow you to use a ratchet and socket to lower the lift once the power is cut at the end of the game if your stuck with 6 totes in the air. Cable guides from home depo are simple screen door bearing / track guide mounted at bottom and top of the frame above and below your load your lifting or pulling down.The
cables are directed to top side of drum one and bottom of drum two . No slack in ether cable is allowed .Then as # one drum is lifting drum #two is spooling out and vise versa . To prevent the tote load from placing stress on the motor a constant spring force will be pulling the lift in the upward motion . You could use your Vulcan spring freebie or some KOP Latex Tubing . Hope these Ideas help other teams with there designs.
