Aerial Skidding with X Rings


Wooden Hand

Recommended Posts

Sorry, no idea what to call this, seems slightly appropriate as I got the idea from skidding branches on the floor with the portable winch.

 

For collapsing a spreading branch or for pulling several together from different locations. Amount of weight depends on the pulling power of your Smart Winch. The x rings work nicely, no cross loading connectors and pretty low friction too.

 

The branches extended over the high voltage wires and I was concerned that they may break the hinge too early if we lifted them one-by-one, the length of swing to the rigging anchor may have let them swing on to or at the very least strike the wires. In this example we input enough force to swing the branches up and sideways, winched them up to the ring on the stem and then cut a fair chunk of the stem with it.
