Lowering device.

[High Scale]

Anybody used one of these?

 

Drayer supply it on it's own or part of a reasonably priced lowering kit.

[Mike Hill]

Yes

 

I've used one a fair bit,we attached to Trees with a "Ratchet tie down".We had to often notch the bark to get either the device or Ratchet strap to sit propperly.

 

I don't rate it as high as a "Porta Wrap" as its not as fast/easy to set up.

 

Really requires two people to attach it to larger Trees

[Steve Bullman]

[vduben]

just to change the subject a lil,were u tied into another tree when on that leaning tree in you avatar steve?

[Steve Bullman]

nope.

I use one like that but it already has the strap and ratchet attached to it, its from fujikura and about £350 i think. I think its well worth it but it is a struggle to put on by yourself.

does it have a metal handle to tighten it on the strap? if that took a wack from a log it could break. i think i would prefer a sling.

I think it has truck type tie down straps.
