An emergency trolley rescue winch (TRH1527) was developed for the purposes of retrieving trolleys from the cyclotron tank whose radial drive have failed.

This winch was tested today on the carrier in mockup setting with success by Adam Newsome, Dan McDonald, and Travis Cave. The following is a summary of the test:

• Lower resonator trolley was used with additional 1200 lb loading (total weight: approximately 2900 lb)... this represents the worst-case scenario for rescue
• The drive mechanism was bypassed so wheels could freely rotate (this is standard rescue procedure)
• The winch was mounted so that the alignment angle of the cable was close to 0 degrees
• The winch successfully pulled the entire assembly with no issue – it was pulled approximately 5 metres

An ECO will be released for the drawings for mounting components - no redlines were required.
