Interesting. Yes I do want some, and I would like to know who supplies it. On a completely unrelated note, yes, I believe there are issues with supplying gear without CE marks, even if you sell it as "accessory cord", since everyone knows what its really for anyway. If someone did come a cropper using it then the supplier could well be held liable. FWIW, there are good reasons why armor prus does not have a CE mark, although they wouldnt stop me using it as a hitch cord.
-
Whats that got to do with lowering ropes?
-
If only. For an educated arborist you seem remarkably ill-informed.
-
And how would you obtain said armor prus to use as friction cord? Seeing as its not available in the UK, i presume you would be importing it yourself?

You dont need CE for rigging kit. Refer to manufactorer for MBS, minimum breaking strain, and then work back from there, once you have a SWL safe working load mark it up as appropriate.

The portland seems ok, not as stiff as esterlon I would say, although it does flatten a lot running over the drum.

Yup. 6 foot of beech at 48" diameter works out at about 2400kg, which is about the limit for my crane. I can reach out to about 6 metres, which would get most of it I reckon, and I could certainly drag it in to the truck, and cut liftable sections once it was close enough.

Bet mine would get in there.

You dont need a special rope, just better groundies!

Stein RC-3001 Single Bollard Lowering Device
Peter replied to Ian Flatters's topic in Rigging and roping
Used one for the last 2 days, very pleased with it. 14 and 16mm both work fine, it is rated for up to 19mm, which I have no doubt it would handle just fine. -
Ooh, sounds kinky!
-
Why didnt you fell it with the knuckle on and ring it up on the ground?
-
I think you should read Matty's thread about what he did with just such a beech, then you would have the answer to that question.

For getting rid of green waste pm renewablejohn on this forum.

Just the ticket mate, quite similar to mine. Have you taken the fleecy lining out?
-
I have mine cut once every 2 years, whether it needs it or not.
-
Is that so the hair clippings dont get into the bodywork?

Arborjim on this forum is looking for someone, but you need a driving licence. TBH i think you will struggle to find work without one.

So if you had climbed right to the top limb to limb, then tied in, in the traditional fashion espoused by those who wont use an anchor point unless they can see it close up, you would have fallen from the top of the tree. Interesting. Hope you get back to fighting fit soon!
-
Get well soon mate! Out of interest, did you test the anchor before starting the ascent? If so what sort of test, 2 people, bounce, ect? I hear lots of arguments against initial high anchors set with throwlines, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts now you've had one fail.

Most pressure treated wood is now treated with tanalith e, which does not contain arsenic or chromium.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Why not include some photos of good coronets as examples? You could go on forever with the spec and still get presented with a meat tenderiser as per Monkeyds example.
