Stein winch 3001 set up

[Dilz]

So the stein 3001 bollard and winch - is it any good?

apart from being less than half the price of GRCS.....

I'd like to know what people think aswel so I'll be following your thread Dilz.

 

I've read up and watched plenty of vids but no comparison with the grcs or arbpro.

We have the bollard - not the winch - no complaints - it's a good piece of equipment, heavy though but can't be bothered with portawraps.

We have this. Not the winch part though. It's a really solid piece of kit and dead simple to set up and use. Like anything, though, learning to run the ropes smoothly takes practice and time. Not a fan of portawraps either.

The are brilliant.No doubt about it.Affordable heavy duty rigging.

How effective is the winch on it? Looks good in videos, but is it as good in real life?

I been using a tree runner p500 bollard for years now and would never go back to a crapstan, and to be fair the p500 copes with just about everything.

 

ITs the winch part of the Stein that is interesting / useful and the fact that it is removable and thus you dont have to take the full thing out to every job is a really good idea. It looks like its a lot easier than setting up a serperate lifting system.

I have the winch and use it occasionally.

It needs experienced teams with rigging knowledge. The main problems i have with it are its slow and inexperienced team members or those stuck in their ways find it hard to get to grips with.

Its great that its not on the bollard most of the time exposed to being knocked about as the RC3001 is a bombproof piece of kit.

Grcs is ace handles most things we throw at it we wouldn't have anything else now also comes with standard bollard we to this day haven't used it if you can push ur budget get one amazing lifting power and lowering control with it
