I don't disagree with you. A fixed bollard with a big radius is much nicer to use. All I'm saying is that 2000 device cinched up at the top is pretty dam good also and excellent value For what it costs.

 

so we agree on somthing then :laugh1:

I used an RC2000 for some pretty big takedowns.

Rich Rule and Ross Smith don't frick about with the size of the lumps for sure.

We ratchet-strapped the top anchor point to make it more bollard-like, and it worked really well.

Bit of a mission to initially set and retrieve the rigging line though.

 

The 2001 bollard I upgraded to is a joy, though.

One of my best purchases in arb.

 

Tim, I know you love your porty, but this inexpensive bollard is in a different league.

 

I am prepared to post you mine when I go on holiday in July.

 

If you don't like it I will piss my pants wearing a gimp mask.

Any bloody excuse...

 

 

We use a port a wrap for all rigging. It's fine, and my groundsman has rigged off lumps for me which made me cack myself. If you're using small dia line it pig tails it to hell though, and because of the choke point sometimes there's too much friction.

 

I'd love a fixed bollard, but justifying the expense to the boss is impossible as the port a wrap does everything we need.

I know exactly how much they are. I'm browsing my rigging wish list as I type.

 

What I said was that whilst the fixed bollard is a big improvement, my boss would never buy one as the porty does the job just fine, and is half the price.
