Towers- how many towers total,
Sheaves assemblies- how many individual sheaves, how many towers have hold down sheave assemblies, support, combination
Haulrope tensioning system, location
Drive Line- couplings, hi speed rollback, drive shaft and gear reduction components
Prime mover- manufacturer, specifications and description. Power source including motor operating voltage
Drive controller for the prime mover
