in need of info.

[Ian Clarke]

Hello all arb talkers,

 

I have a job coming up which will require a rigging kit I currently don't have one as I haven't been in business long and have not needed it so far.

 

My question is can I hire a rigging kit?

 

Iam personally doubtful but if anyone will know its you guys and gals

 

If not I intend to buy one.

 

the job is near Cambridge if location helps.

I very much doubt any one will hire you a rigging kit incase you shock load, and when the owner of the kit comes to use it for some big bits BANG goes the greenhouse or worse...

Your best bet is to buy what you need for the job and keep adding to it, its what i did and it spreads the cost just like all kit

Good luck matey

just crotch rig it ,how do you think it was done before pulleys & blocks came along

[chrisgilltreesurgery]

Exactly, all you need is a rope and a krab

[Dom]

What would you want a crab for? Surely that's cheating Just 50m of 3 strand rope with a running bowline in the end is all you'll ever need. To begin with at least.

Why not hire a rigging kit with someone who is familiar with using it?

[Dan Curtis]

Certain climbers will come with a rigging kit if required:)

Ian, as others said, go get yourself a hank of bull rope. Lowering gear is nice but really not critical. Get it bought and do some natural crotch rigging
