  • That could have been much worse but still unfortunate. At least no one was hurt and the grain bin only slightly damaged.

    Bob was on vacation this episode so here are some puns in his honour: It's BIN great to see no one got hurt while the winch tried to PULL a fast one. And: He went NUTS hammering out those bolts.

    Ok LegArms, when lifting bin and crawling out, they need to block up with something so bin does not fall on you or who ever is getting out.
    Enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing project completed

  • @BlueDually4x4
    @BlueDually4x4 2 роки тому +54

    It was likely the bouncing of moving the bin that was shock loading the splines causing the failure, not the static weight of lifting it. So this is also a very good example of why you don't use your winch to hold down anything to a trailer or use the winch on a vehicle to hold it to a trailer.
    But the important thing is no one was hurt. Also really cute dog.

  • @ke6gwf
    @ke6gwf 2 роки тому +13

    I am glad none of you would ever get under a suspended load!... ;)
    And FYI, that kind of winch is not rated for overhead lifting, it has no load holding brake, and you can see why it is not supposed to be used for overhead lifting!
    I know you won't change up your equipment for safety, but I would suggest at least adding a pulley block to cut the load on the winch in half.
    Remember also that you add load from friction of the cable going over the boom sheeve, so the load that the winch sees is higher than the weight of the bin.
    You also get shock loading when you are traveling which could be quite considerable at times.

    The important thing is everyone is safe. I installed bins around Billings for a summer back in 77. It was an interesting time. We used an actual crane on some of them and a hydraulic jack system on others. Come August, working the inside on those things was not something you did for more than an hour at a time. Had to trade off and consume lots of water.

    I know this happened a couple weeks ago but I’d really encourage you to check all the bearings and the journal’s as well as the bull gear for wear If you still can. Ideally when you reassemble you can check the backlash of the two gears to make sure you have the appropriate mesh. Failures like that don’t happen for no reason and it may not have entirely been the pinions fault. When you have poor contact with the gears or loose bearings/housings and they can push each other away that’s when you have a weak contact and the force is able to begin to shear the teeth.

    As a kid there was a crew building a 5000 bu bin. Using central pipe/winch/collar (like your tire) first time I saw corded impact tools. Dad got upset. Guys going in/out of bin as being lifted. He told them. “Nobody goes in/out UNLESS every sheet but one fastened. So if winch fails nobody hurt…”
    Next row put on. Guy inside cranking it up. Worker slides under edge, dad starts to yell. Noise, BOOM as bin hits cement. Cuts power cord. Guy who rolled out dang near passed out. Not 6 seconds later it would have killed him. I climbed held ladder to manhole, lower lunch, water to guys inside while 3-4 outside A frame jacks located, brought home.
    Decades later I mentioned to crew leader unsafe actions I observed. “But it’s your crew”. 2 hours later they hauled guy to ER 15 staples.
