no it's the sheave's flange, peeled off - lack of inspection for wear
Sure, the sheave is FUBAR, but the pin below tells its own story

Ah right - hadn't spotted that :oops:
Don't think it's that structural 🤔 , lovely retainer though 😁
I'd guess it's retaining the sheave mount and possibly dynamometer behind the sheave - so very structural :oops::cry:
least of the issues there though ....... that sheave is probably 5 years past its serviceability on the wear front :unsure:o_O:oops:
looking at the Casar anti twist rope I'd guess that's on one end of the hoist trolley's lift cable reeve

You do wonder how on earth that happened. It was a proper factory that had been in production for years. These sort of places are generally incredibly safe, more so than normal factories, as they know the risks. Lucky it was in the middle of nowhere.
for sure - and probably why it was ....... one thing for sure - no one will have walked away from that :cry:

We drove past that the morning it happened. Never saw the lorry, we all reckoned he had kept driving to clacket lane services parked up and walked home

I've left the wife my car today as hers is at the yard waiting investigation for limp mode and she doesn't like taking the camper van shopping.

But speaking of shopping- I've just remembered that I've left a dead squirrel from a pest control job in a Waitrose bag in the rear footwell.

If you never hear from me again...it's been nice knowing you all!

If she shops at Waitrose and takes it in and opens it at the checkout things could really get interesting.

I suggest a quick call to enlighten Marianne could be a VERY good idea -- or you might be eating it tonight :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

its ok, she knows shes only allowed to go to waitrose once a month as a treat!
Here's a thing tho...

I bought two hot chicken legs from Sainsbury's the other day.......yes yes i know busy and all that 🫣
Anyway back at work...another lad had two almost identical from Waitrose....his were 50p cheaper for the pair. I felt robbed 🧐🤣🤣🤣
Lesson learnt ...butties or if desperate get robbed properly at the chipper.
