depends what your dropping.

 

Tell me: whats your aim when rigging? 250kg or 1000kg?

[Jake Andrews]

I do understand what your saying but when i said fit for porpose i meant a tree not just foliage. If im rigging i intend for the equiptment to be ample for all rigging.

 

Do you change ropes/slings half way through the tree or stick with it? If you do change,whats the point?

 

Cheers

My aim when rigging is to get the tree down as safe as possible and as quick as safety allows!

 

I do not have figures planned. I work within my equipments SWL that's all compatible. I avoid dropping anything where possible and like to use the GRCS to achieve this.

I just wonder what the heaviest drop people do on a regular basis, plus what the average drop is? considering you may have to give it a push.

 

80kg to 120kgs is a fair sized lump, plus the groundie may just be able to roll it:lol:

[Jake Andrews]

Your right,80 to 120kgs is a big lump but the forces involved are far greater.

 

The only time i let something drop is to clear my legs from danger. Otherwise i tel my groundies to keep it nice and tight. Allways tell them to let it run a little and slow it down gently unless the target is too close.

But i would assume we all do this.

 

Most i want it dropped is 1.5m, 2m max just too clear myself and stop it crushing my legs.

 

Stay safe

so do you mean 6ft pieces when chogging down? by 18" diameter?

[Jake Andrews]

No i meant that if i want a peice dropped on the lowering rope so that it doesnt crush my leg,i only want it to freefall 2m maximum.
