Pat Riot Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Fascinating. Thanks Dave. I started watching with the intent to just skim over it and ended up watching the whole video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Like Pat, I was just going to glance at it but watched the whole thing. That is a seriously clever design and even when it's no longer being used needs to be preserved to some degree for its historical value. Thanks for putting this out for us, Dave.

However, in general, wire rope refers to diameters larger than 3/8 inch. Wire Rope / Steel Cable 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Most interesting, indeed! The power, of course, is the potential energy of that shale on top of the mountain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be 10 to 11 tonnes of ore transiting the at any one time. If my calculation are correct somewhere between 33 and 37 tonnes of material are moved from the mine to the plant in an 8 hour shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe do it like the Track Toads do it, break it, splice on the new and use the old to pull the new one on. A job of work no matter how you do it.
