The weight of the slabs along with the added weight of the 1,000 lb. jig used to cantilever the slabs into place required the use of a winch powerful enough to handle the weight. Area Erectors purchased a Thern M492B spur gear hand winch to use for pitch control and used it in conjunction with a Thern 482B worm gear hand winch to adjust the roll while cantilevering each of the slabs into place. They also purchased a higher capacity wire rope to fit into the winch that allowed them the appropriate weight capacity for the line pull.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Return to Industries&#8221; style=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_background=&#8221;#c71a32&#8243; custom_text=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-angle-left&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fthern.com%2Fen-GB%2Findustries-2%2F|title:Return%20to%20Industries|&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gallery type=&#8221;flexslider_slide&#8221; interval=&#8221;0&#8243; images=&#8221;23508,23509&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1693245408139{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23474&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1692984675135{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;background-color: #efefef !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;We&#8217;re Here to Help&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%230a0a0a&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1689180978485{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Have questions?
