kk1l observed that I wasn't thinking clearly, with
respect to possible pulley scenarios and ginpole loads.
It IS possible to reduce the load on the pole, by using
a 2 part tackle on the LOAD side of the ginpole:
>
> O T fixed to top of pole 150# total
> | | |
> | | |
> | | |
> | O
> | V
> | LOAD 100#
> |
> |
> V
> 50#
Now comes the question...anybody see a way to actually RIG a
pole like that? The rohn top casting/block doesn't provide
an easy way. A through-bolt would get in the way of the
LIFT line, in the pole. The fixed line, at 't', would have to
be fastened to a clamp of some sort.
