Hand winch shear pins

[countrryboy]

Alright

 

Apologies, This may be a bit of a silly question, but do most sheer pins fit other winches?

 

Looking to buy a 'tirfor' style winch and after reading plenty of threads on here had decideed which 1 to buy, The Ace 1600 but unfortunately slod out and be weeks before back in. (Can only seem to find 1 selller, secure fix direct)

 

I found a company selling Able style 'tirfor's' but does not sell shear pins for it and didn't know where i could get them? Seemingly never been asked for them.

I ended up cancelling it as didn't see point in having a winch and not knowing where/if i can bet sheer pins for it.

 

Is anyone familr with Able winches and know where u can get sheer pins for them?

 

Cheers

I have had wire rope from here before - they might do a winch / pins for you:

I have a "Jet" Winch with 1600kg lifting capacity that I am pretty sure is exactly the same as the ACE 1600, just a different badge. Draper and a few other companies appear to do exactly the same although you'd need to double check.

 

The Jet is easily available (I got mine from Machine Mart about 4 years ago) and the shear pins are easy to get too, Stanton Hope sell in in bags of 10 for about £8 and they are available online.

 

Hope that helps.

That's brilliant Ty, cheers for that, just ordered a winch off them.

 

My heid is burstin, been looking at that many sites trying to find different winches and seems to be a massive difference in price between them.

A lot of sites come up on google that don't even sell winches

 

Had a look on machine mart seemed to be a bit dearer again, only sem to be 2 companies around the 150 ish quid for a 1600 then ur up to 250+ for most other companies

It won't be getting worked very hard, but no doubt be brilliant when needed.
