Good-o.
I had been thinking a 1 metre sling which would have seen the top of the chain block around 400mm below the beam, but I’ve got some chain I can use to get it closer to the beam. I’ll get...

Good-o.
I had been thinking a 1 metre sling which would have seen the top of the chain block around 400mm below the beam, but I’ve got some chain I can use to get it closer to the beam. I’ll get...
Darren, I recognise that a block & tackle would certainly come in useful from time to time, in fact I’ve already thought of another use. :)
It occurred to me that it would make putting the...
Darren, I accept the roof is strong as you suggest & the beams will take the weight of a winch & bullbar ok, but I’m not getting up on the roof or working at 5.5m on a ladder. I have a shorter...
The issue is going to be getting up to the roof beam Would need to hire a scissor lift - twice. Once to get the pattern for a plate & again to put it up there. Weight lifted would also need to...
Nah, it’s a Ranbuild shed.
I s'pose portal frame is probably the correct term? Wall height is 3.8mm but can’t get the car close to a wall. The main ‘beams’ across the roof are all c section & ‘engineered’ to do their job &...
Not sure Sooty, but that may well be it. The person who told me has an ’06 DX ute with the TD42i & the same winch.
No accessible rafter, convenient or otherwise. Clearspan roof 5’5 metres high. Not gonna buy a block & tackle just for this one off job. Might be able to use an old ‘comealong’ I’ve got though I...
I have received a PM from a member with the same vehicle & bullbar & winch that I have & he tells me that even with the splash guard removed from the bottom of the bullbar that the bullbar still...
Yep, not that I’ve ever needed it (yet) I’ve got 30m synthetic rope on the winch & a second 30m still in it’s plastic bag behind the seats. The SWR :) did come in useful when I used the winch to...
SWR - Wire rope?
I think I offered it to other’s here but no-one took me up on it. It was in perfect nick. After sitting coiled neatly inside a bucket for a couple of years I finally chucked it...
Synthetic. I replaced the wire rope to save weight ages ago. From memory taking it off & replacing the rollers with an alloy hause was worth over 13 Kg.
Thanks Darren. That's helpful. Have had a brief read through. I'll check out access with the bullbar when my back allows.
It does appear that it would just need the gears cleaning & re-greasing,...
