Pot tipper builder in Perth
Submitted by ranmar850 on Sat, 2019-02-02 18:36
I know, should be able to search this, but i click all I like on the Search function and nothing happens. So can people give me some names for fabricators who build a solid tipper. Needs to be strong enough for full size pro pots.

The search function doesn't work
hasn't for some time, or not for me anyway. I find the way around this is to enter your key words into the general address / search function (not fishwrecked) and also add the word fishwrecked. It found this:

Looks like he does a narrow roller?
Not a fan, they stress the winch hugely, down to stalling point, when the pot is nearly up and the narrow roller chokes down the pot bridle, being narrower than the attachment points on the bridle. . So you end up having to heave the pot over before it get all the way up to the pivot point. Went through this with my last tipper, modified it for a wider roller, but still not full width. Probably fine for light pots, or small pots with narrower bridles, but I run heavy full size pro pots.
I'll be in Perth this week, and for some weeks after, might keep looking around.

Yes
and that’s the way Willy does them as well.
I took mine back to him to mod which he was more than happy to do but I don’t think he actually uses them much, too busy building boats haha.
