New rigging device?

[skyhuck]

dont need to be CE

 

How come??

[Dean Lofthouse]

Maybe. but only if the bollard is as strong as the seperate bollard on the grcs. With the change you could buy a porta wrap, extra rigging rope and a few beers. Whats the swl?

 

I think the plus with this one is you can put a wrap on the steel outer then wrap onto the winch and prestension then take the wraps off the winch and snatch in one smooth operation ??

You can do that with the grcs. By pulling the rigging line you can retain the tension whilst wrapping onto the winch drum. You can even remove the slack that enters the system while snatching with some practice

I suppose it would save on swapping bollards then

[Dean Lofthouse]

Thats what dean is doing:confused1:

 

Bob, you buy one of these new ones and I'll buy your old one off you then

[gibbon]

No need to swap....you can rig of the winch!

[Dean Lofthouse]

No need to swap....you can rig of the winch!

 

Aye but I'd rather give a steel bollard a hammering than an £800 winch

But surely you need to be more careful, other wise why do they also do a bollard???

I think it is a thing of beauty, if the sailors use it on the side of a yacht in the open seas, it must be tough. I am not a fan of lowering monster lumps, what i want is something that a groundie can work easily and lift and lower stuff smoothly.

Buy a bollard then. Seriously, if you can borrow one for a big take down you should just to try it. I struggled to justify getting one over the alternatives, but its an incredibaly diverse and usefull tool and I'd get another tomorrow.
