Rigging kit

[R Mac]

 

Don't doubt what it can handle but, you know 16mm rigging rope and large Portawrap do tend to suggest an impact block, to me anyway

......And rigging large wood. For me, 1/2 inch 13mm to you, gets all but big stuff done no problems. For big big, then I bust out 5/8th Yale rope, and an appropriate pulley/rigging ring. Which will cover ANYTHING you are man enough to throw at it

I was originally planning to get the isc flame pulley, but was recommended by the guys on here for the isc cast. I'll go with what you guys say. As for not anything massive, all depends what falls into that bracket, like I said earlier, 90 percent of jobs are cut and chuck, but there are some jobs rigging is required. Id rather rig limbs out than strip them off and cut and chuck each branch and step cut every piece of the limb back. As you can probably tell, I'm not qualified for rigging, that will be on the cards later on, so I'm unsure of the correct equipment to get. Thanks

You honestly dont need heavy duty for rigging branches, or limbs for that matter, mate... Trust me, I know, KISS, keep it simple.

Was planning to use the 16mm multi slings, what you think?

 

sorry didn't realise there was more than one on his shopping list.

 

a note against the pinto is the bend radius as a 4:1 ratio is the recommended bend ratio.

 

brilliant redirect or small bits but has its limitations.

The rigging rope should be the weakest link , here in your list it is not.

I'd go with one of the stein smaller bollards like the rc1000 or 2000. We have the smallest one and it has done some frighteningly big pieces.

Port a wrap style devices are terrible for twisting rope.

Not if you don't use too big a rope & remember to wrap it in alternate directions each time you use it

This is what I would go for based on what you've already mentioned.

 

 

You could no doubt shop around for the best price on the individual components.

 

You could replace the RC Top/Mounting strap with something much cheaper as it isn't load bearing, it only holds the lowering device upright. See video for the reason why you may want to do that and also why I suggest the RC1000.

You'll still probably need a few slings and carabiners.

 

Hope this is of some help.
