Generally two wire rope clamps per turn are good enough for any load. They sure were extra cautious.
@gravelydon70728 жыл бұрын
+Edward Jonez Having moved railroad equipment by rail, three is often not enough. Even when flat switching things can go bump in a bad way. Ever see a coupler get split open? I have and if we hadn't cabled the side dump down well enough, it would have been on the ground instead of still on the flatcar.
@edwardjonez66158 жыл бұрын
+gravelydon In " Bethlehem Steel's Mechanic's Guide to Wire Rope". They state, " two high quality clamps properly torqued is safe and adequate for any application." If done right the eye or socket in the rope set will part before anything else gives. I've got over 50 years of working in the forest, railways, oil patch and at sea. Yup, I've seen busted couplers a few times. usually from poor throttle control, too much train without helpers or a combination of factors. Have a good one.
@gravelydon70728 жыл бұрын
+Edward Jonez Yes, I know that. I had to pass a course on it. I also got the top score in a crane inspection class and have the shirt to prove it. :-) The really most likely spot to fail is the single section of the wire rope between the two loops unless the rope gets cut. But then again, I've dealt with railroads and you'll always find that when you have a special shipment, you run into one of mother nature's special vacuum fillers. In 1309's case, like my last trip on the Cardinal, it was a truck driver. And by split open, I didn't mean a broken knuckle, I meant a coupler head that was nearly sheared in two. In a yard. Crews on the road tend to be a little bit more careful. Yard crews, not so much. Most likely occurred from a closed knuckle coupling at excessive speed. Less than 15 miles from the end of a 1000 mile trip in a flat switching yard. Ruined a perfectly good radial pivot coupler. Railroad tried for about a year to find a replacement but couldn't. Railroad hauled it at the rear of the train with a red flag in the knuckle the rest of the way after they tried to weld the crack somewhat back closed. That meant they had to run it around the balloon track too as when it was damaged, it was facing forward. Have a good, safe day.

These "Sidewinders" as some call them, have turned out to be the most efficient rail maintenance devices, over the old "Big Hooks" and other cranes, as they are eaily and quickly transported to the site by truck/trailer, can more easily navigate difficult terrain - mud - unlevel ground, etc. They are more quickly rigged, can work in tandem and more, and can pick up some serious weight. As to age, well, they are properly maintained, and if it's not broke, don't fix it. Until someone comes up with an efficient sky hook, these units will see service long into the future. -- Doc
