Anyone heard of a drayer lowering bollard?

[Rupe]

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.

 

i cheated

 

so explain that in english.

After googling it 1dan is equal to 0.49 kn!

[Adam Bourne]

it works out on a 100:1 from daN to kN so.....

 

10daN would be 0.1kN

 

on your ticket it has something before the daN ratings i would guess the L/C would stand for load capacity and as the ratchet is part of the webbing theres one L/C .......2000daN = 20kN

two L/C ........4000daN = 40kN

 

so its both of what ever they are, are running just over 2ton and 4ton:thumbup:

Yeah the first word is gestrektthe second is rond. Ive googled them but can't make out a translation. Surely it'll be equivalent of working limit and breaking limit.

[Adam Bourne]

gestrekte is dutch for stretched which would make sense as before things break they stretch but then i got lost at rond because that means around so thats thrown a ???? any ideas anyone

[Adam Bourne]

the strength ratings are..... i.e. in a straight line or around a tree - where both ends meet - so its 4000 dan your looking at.

 

unless you decide to do some towing

 

sorry mate maybe your right didn't see your post but that would make complete sense.

 

 

its load cap in a straight line would be 2ton

 

and around a structure would be 4ton

 

nice one CS:thumbup:
