Stein rigging equipment

Ive been using a ISC block , whoopie sling and a buckingham portarap for my lowering for quite a while now, whilst im reasonable happy with it (apart from the odd nearly ripping your arm out of the socket moments) and just to keep up to date with things ive been looking at the stein double bollard with the pre tensioning arm, any of you guys using this system ? or the single bollard one. pros and cons anyone ?

I have RC 2001 and lowered some fairly big lumps on it and it is great. 2 wraps around the bollard then let it run a bit, never had it pulling my arms out. Haven't used the pulley that you can use with it but could see the advantages of taking the slack out of the rope.

I got the Dual when it came out and think its excellent.

Lifting branches, limbs etc is more about angles than power, so with a bit of thought you can do anything with it.

It will raise things slower than a GRCS, faster than a Hobbs but is the cheapest of the three.

Selection depends on how you rig;

Go big & catch half the tree - buy the Hobbs

technical - GRCS - the back garden crane

technical with the flexibility for 2 lines, take the big hits. lower rather than lift - Stein dual

 

All 3 are exceptional & I would be happy with any of them
