Anyone heard of a drayer lowering bollard?

[Rupe]

I'd have bought it just to go in the kit bag for that price.

nothing on the website, was it a one off?

 

No there's a link earlier in this thread to a foreign site. It was apparently forgot about upstairs in their storage or something. He said it's got a wll of a ton does that look /sound about right?

[Rupe]

Yes, but thats quite high, dont go mad with it too quickly! Is there a strenght ratign on the webbing strap? And how does it tighten?

[mikecotterill]

It's just a ratchet strap, think the ratchet is 2.5t not sure on the webbing.

[Rupe]

2.5t breaking? As in MBS?? or SWL?

[mikecotterill]

Just had a look the bollard is about 3.75" diameter and 7.5" tall.

 

The ratchet says lc 25kn I presume that means load capacity.

The webbing has this on.

a fairly common metric unit of force equal to 10 newtons. The dekanewton is equal to 1 megadyne, to 1.019 716 kilograms of force (kgf) or kiloponds (kp), to 2.248 09 pounds of force (lbf), and to 72.3301 poundals. In engineering, the dekanewton is a convenient substitute for the kilogram of force or kilopond, since it is nearly equal to those units.
