This customer constructs and erects power lines for a large power utility. The brake winch is mounted on to the back of a truck. This winch is used to release the cable when stringing the lines which run across the guide rollers.

This application operates in dust and rain, and is poorly maintained. No lubrication is used once assembled.

Advantage of Vesconite:

• Longer life – Vesconite lasted 12 months compared to 3 months for the previous material
