i reckon rich should do the same thing adam-mention it bro:) -
hmmm not sure bro-pretty sure there designed to enable attachment to individual eyes-but like you, fully prepared to stand corrected:001_tongue:
-
yeah bro, just machine them down a bit and there a perfect fit-you have to machine them down just to allow a ball or splice(whipping) to fit through

Dont be so tight ben, buy her a treemotion.......
-
rope access is not easy bro
-
keep it "open"via a panic grip. to late to edit my post, word missing

NZ trials????

hey deerman-what i mean is that if a branch falls onto the top of it it opens up. A scenario i discussed in oz was if the cam opened up ona top ascender (ie twig in the cam) you might pull down expecting the cam to grab but instead would pull it down onto the uni and keep it via a panic grip. Im definetly not bagging the uni, spent time on one lots and many friends here love them but i just feel its a very advanced tool that has to be treated with a lot of respect as i believe it has more potential for danger on srt than a hitch on dbrt. its a great tool in the correct hands though

yep its happened to mine too bro-no idea why but mines just cosmetic damage as far as i can tell. its definetly not the shackle but something has been scraping the side like yours-bit of a mystery but im sure it will get sorted by the powers that be
-
on a single line? this is for ascent on cammed ascenders so yes bro. tbh i would with a uni too, if a branch hits the top of it(bit of dw falls down the line) and it slides down id want a backup-im not saying im right though bro, just my opinion. i think the uni needs a bar on top to prevent accidental openage from impact and a gate to trap the rope for better fairleading-then i think it rocks for sure. i feel it justs needs to some tweaking to become awesome.

Harkie - A whole new world for the tree climbing professional! whats all this then? any background on it? ie who runs it, designs etc..
-
its the only way bro:)
-
treemotion bro-you know it!
-
its a control line bro to help balance and limit uncontrolled swing, i think thats what you mean-through the spindle?
-
yeah ive seen that on a couple of them now mate-i can see how a shackle can get sucked up onto the pulley and damage it but i cant work out how the side gets damaged.ill try and get some pics to see if were talking about the same problem.

some spliced pinto's:001_smile:
-
Big congrats to the winners and all the competitors
-
just got in from the clean up-some places its total carnage, others places not a leave moved. some big trees came over though totalling some cars. lots of cleanup for companies tomorrow-we were just making safe til sunrise tomorrow
-
if using mechanicals bro you need 2x attachment-if using hitch cord its just one.
-
it was adam.........
-
a special type of rubber bro, is what im led to believe
-
nah dont think so bro. i presume its smooth if set the right way but the loop will snag if set the other way round? does that make sense? not sure how else to term it!
