My new rigging kit

[ANDY-501]

Hi, just took delivery of some stuff I thought would be a good first kit but would also do some bigger stuff if needed.

 

I just wanted to check that these items will all work ok together or if I need to swap anything before it gets dirty !

 

Kit consists of:

 

Stein RC2001 - 2000kg

Stein RC3100 - 150kg wll

DMM small impact block 200kn mbs / 40kn wll

DMM pinto rig 50kn mbs / 10kn wll

Yale 19mm polydyne 1 eye (5m) 9409kg mbs

Yale 19mm polydyne 1 eye (8m) 9409kg mbs

2 x 2t wll padded straps

6 x tape slings 24kn

Teufelberger sirius 16mm (50m) rigging rope 63kn mbl

 

I also have a load of steel crabs and a few other bits which I can use and im hoping to get a 12mm sirius rope in the future for use for small stuff and maybe for a zipline but would also welcome any ideas or suggestions from you guys.

 

Thanks,

Andy.

You can now take down any size tree (25metres) with ease.

Thanks everyone for all your replies so far, it is really appreciated

 

I got out yesterday and used the kit for the first time and am very happy with it. Im glad I didnt go with the rc3001 now as I believe it is 3 times heavier and the rc2001 is a solid bit of kit which im sure will do everything I need for now.

 

I stayed on the ground yesterday to run the rigging and on the first cut of the day with my shiny new rope I hear the climber shout out "sorry I caught the rope with the chainsaw !"

 

Seems now I will be able to do pretty much any tree upto 22.5 metres !

Looks like your climber owes you a new rope!

Absolutely! The climbers just bought himself a 45m rigging rope
