The Hoisting Winch on the K-10000 tower crane has a
very large drum diameter. This allows over 3,000ft of hoist line to
be spooled in only three layers. Poor spooling usually commences on
the fourth layer and becomes destructive on the fifth.
U.S. Standards require D/d
(Drum Diameter/Cable Diameter)
to equal or exceed 18.0.
On the K-10000
D/d exceeds 40.
