we only used it because we were dismantling beside a reservoir and it sped the job up no end.

 

You sound like my boss, take the GPRS (still doesn't know what it's called) you be able to go twice as fast and twice as big.

 

It's not a device that automatically makes you go bigger and faster, but it allows you to approach some situations where a standard rigging device without winching ability would be slower. Often it's not quicker it just allows you to do the job safe and efficiently.

 

You also have to be careful so often I see crews massively pre tensioning lines that branches jump after being cut! The grcs should being reducing shock not introducing it. Or winching laterals off that come swing back in and crash into the stem above the GRCS operator.
