Swivelling Backline Sheave for Raywood Contracting

360° swivelling sheave system for Raywood Contracting that halves rope wear while maintaining T-Bar setup benefits for logging operations.

CLIENT

Raywood Contracting

SOLUTION

APPM designed, built, and installed a custom system featuring a large 360° swivelling sheave. This innovative design halved rope wear by eliminating the need for a second pulley, ensuring smoother operation and reduced maintenance requirements.

CHALLENGE

Raywood Contracting needed a backline machine to serve as a reliable tie-off point. The system had to provide the height and mobility of a T-Bar setup while minimizing the rope wear typically caused by the traditional two-pulley configuration.

OUTCOME

The new swivelling backline sheave provided Raywood Contracting with an efficient and durable solution, combining mobility, reduced rope wear, and reliable performance for their backline operations.
