[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 586735, member: 5729"] I would think a remote electric winch with a sling or bucket to stand in would make life more enjoyable and then you ladder would become plan b for winch failure. By standing in the bucket or sling facing the ladder would give the safety for a winch failure when halfway up. The only ladders I have seen have been fixed to the walls and hung over the steel top ring, but you pictures show loose type material in the walls. The steel top rings I have seen were at least 5mm thick steel and had rails or flanges welded to the outside of them , I guess if you had some steel or tube rolled to fit around your gal collar you then could bolt them together and extend rolled tube to make a good size flange maybe. I'm not a miner , just a farmer / problem solver , I reckon there's plenty of shaft experts on here that will help you out. [/QUOTE]
