The Clyde Frame 16/12 is a robust, four-drum drawn winch engineered for heavy-duty applications in industries such as construction, logging, and material handling. This winch is designed to handle substantial loads with precision and reliability.

Key Specifications:

- Drum Configuration: Four drums, allowing for versatile operations and the management of multiple lines simultaneously.

- Frame Size: The designation "16/12" indicates a combination of Frame 16 and Frame 12 components, suggesting a hybrid design that leverages the strengths of both frame sizes.

- Line Pull Capacity: While specific figures for the Frame 16/12 model are not readily available, similar models like the Clyde Frame 12 have an approximate line pull of 73,640 lbs at the second layer, and the Frame 9 offers about 36,880 lbs at the second layer. Therefore, the Frame 16/12 is expected to have a line pull capacity exceeding these values, suitable for heavy lifting tasks.

- Drum Capacity: The drum capacity varies based on the diameter of the wire rope used. For instance, the Clyde Frame 12 can accommodate approximately 6,346 feet of 1.25-inch wire rope or 4,221 feet of 1.5-

inch wire rope. The Frame 16/12 is likely to have similar or greater drum capacities, accommodating long lengths of heavy-duty wire rope.

- Power Source: Typically powered by high-horsepower diesel engines, such as the Cummins 855 BC rated at 400 HP, providing the necessary force for demanding operations.

- Transmission: Equipped with a Twin Disc, 5-speed transmission with reverse, model TAC-51-1304, featuring a 4 to 1 low and reverse ratio, ensuring precise control over winch operations.

- Braking System: Utilizes dual band brakes on each drum, with dimensions such as 5-inch bands on the main drum and 3.5-inch bands on the auxiliary drum, ensuring secure and reliable braking under heavy loads.
