Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a wireline drum configured for use in a material handling system. The wireline drum may have a core extending between a pair of flanges. The core may be configured to receive a spooled wireline. Each flange may have a neck extending from an inner surface toward the core and configured to nestably engage the core. The present disclosure further relates to methods of manufacturing such a wireline drum. In some embodiments, each flange, including the flange neck, may be cast as substantially a single component. At a joint between each flange neck and the core, a V-shaped groove may be defined for receiving a weld. Each flange may be welded to the core at the V-shaped groove.
