Lowering and rigging kit

[MaxJ]

Guys,

 

I have a little bit of spare cash that I intend to use setting me up a lowering and rigging kit. Can people give me their views on what they think I will need. Trees are medium scale I work on as I haven't got the experience yet to tackle the monsters you guys do and the fact there aren't many around where I work!

 

Look forward to the replies:thumbup:

just use the tail of your rope for medium trees mate

 

i'd say get a small/medium cast pulley with a 16mm one eye strop, 50m of 14mm multiplait, a capstan (i like the bigger ones, you seem to have more control), a shackle, a whoopie sling and a decent length of 3strand for a tagline. If youve got any cash left a couple of steel crabs, some slings (assorted sizes) and a swingcheek pulley for a secondary lowering point.

The one thing i cannot understand why i never had one before is the stein lowering bollards i use the single bollard and tbh think for what you pay its awesome! everything is personal pref.

i would recommend buying the stein rc2000, we have one and we all like it where we work because you can lower heavy pieces with it aswell:lol:

They are great bits of kit for sure but a lot to spend on your first rigging kit, if you can then do!
