Tacoma Bank Operated Cableway-Rickly

The Bank-Operated cableway is designed for use where regular flow measurements need to be made at suitable cross-sections of rivers or canals. The advantage of the USGS style system is its ease of installation, low cost, one-man operation and sounding reel (winch) which is portable and can be used with any of the other suspension equipment such as manned cableways (up to 2000 feet or 600 meters), three and four-wheel trucks with cranes, bridges, boards, and boat outfits. This makes the system extremely versatile and cost effective. The power drive unit can be used with this system and is very convenient for heavy sounding weights and sediment samplers. The system can be a fixed installation or portable depending on project requirements.
