just refering to your pics on page 3. The large rigging plate with all the strops, do you strop multiple branches during the crown removal? 1st time i've seen pics of a rigging plate not used in a speedline way? could you shed any more light on how you use it? just interested.

Have a look at post #38.

 

The rigging plate is not really needed, but I keep it on the end of the line and do multiple limbs occasionally, only really have 2-3 slings on the go but that photo just shows all of them on their before we started any work.

Doh! if only id gone one more page..... That makes alot of sense, speeds things up. I like the idea of it and for the reasonable cost of a few slings and a plate i may test it out next time i need to lower stuff. Thanks for getting back to me.

No worries. There are issues attached to using a plate when you don't really need it, i.e. the extra risk of side loading the karabiners. As long as you are aware of this possibility and work with in a good safety marging then all will be fine.

 

I keep the plate on there, and attach limb to it, one at a time or multiple occasionally, its not necessary but I like it and it gives yu the option to use it whenever instead of askign for it to be sent up.

 

A sson as limbs get bigger I used two slings and so they go on the plate nicely, then when it gets even bigger I do away with the plate altogether. Just keep an eye on the karabiner and make sure they are correctly alligned, if in doubt don't use it.
