Default Re: Barge Unloading Facility Build

Well, after some testing on the bench, it looks like with my 1/4" wide by 1/4" diameter drum I get about 8" travel from one shoulder to the other. I'm using a heavy thread for cable. If it is simple math/ratio I'm going to need about a 1" wide drum. Hum, need to look at the dock and see if I'm gona like that? Not sure if the leverage on the end is going to be a problem? Would need to mount it in a carrier bracket.
