Shovel cable size

Post #1 by Dah » Mon Jul 13, 2015 10:11 pm

Hi

Does anyone have any thoughts on the rough diameter of hoist cables on BE 150, 195, Lima 2400 size shovels?

I'd like to get the scale right on a model I'm making if possible.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,
From the 195B brochure rope sizes are: Hoist: 38mm diameter
Crowd: 44mm diameter
Retract: 44mm diameter
Boom Suspension: 51mm diameter

Hope this helps

Thanks Ian - I'm aiming for around 0.8mm thread. Should be close enough?!
