Abstract (en)

Apparatus (101) for spooling umbilical cable (102) or wire rope onto a winch drum (202) without exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable or wire rope, comprising a carriage (401) mounted on a screw thread (402). The carriage is configured to move on the screw thread across the winch drum and the carriage comprises two sheave wheels (403) in a diametrically opposed arrangement with reference to the vertical tangent line between the two sheave wheels. A first sheave wheel (502) is a lower fixed sheave wheel, and a second sheave wheel (501) is an upper sheave wheel configured to pivot about two bearings (505, 506) positioned on the vertical tangent line (507) between the lower fixed wheel and the upper sheave wheel.
