Design of Winch Foundations/Supports
Design of Winch Foundations/Supports
(OP)
I am designing a skidway track to pull an equipment using an Air winch of 25 Te SWL. Can the community members suggest/recommend a reference that provides guidelines for the design of Winch support? The winch is supported on one end of the skidway track. Approximate length of travel is 75 m and the maximum slope of the skid way track is 10 Degrees.

Also depends on the use. Some mines, for example, have a SF of 5-10 depending on the location. The last winch anchorage had a SF = 12.5.

The winch is used on an offshore vessel on a couple of times (Not for frequent use).There is no stall load published for the winch. I will work through some of the references you have mentioned in your replies.
