I do most of my rigging from a stein X ring and it's great. I've got some jobs coming up where it will be useful to be able to lift some small pieces over some lines so I decided to invest in a pulley. I got excited and ordered a huge icr 255. But now it's on the way I'm wondering if I'm wasting my money or if it's a good futureproof investment. Do I just return the big block (£200) and get a wee pinto rig (£50)? I've not got a winch so it's not likely that I'll be lifting big weights anytime soon. And I'm happy with the xring for negative rigging etc. Do folks find that the big blocks just stay in their bags because they are so big and they're more likely to use a wee pulley. Any thoughts much appreciated

Hi I have been a contract climber in Staffordshire for over 4 years and a climber for around 9, having recently moved back to the north east and into consultancy I am looking to whole sale my tree work gear. I was a bit of an equipment guy so accumulated a fair array of climbing and rigging gear as well as saws. Its a large list so I wont detail it in full here but the main points are: - LD2 rigging winch full assembly with enforcer load cell - 500I, 562XP, T540XPII and 2x echo 2511 TES - Full rigging kit including 3x pulleys, 2x 60m rope, spider balancers, large portawrap, double pulleys, light weight rigging kit etc - Full climbing kit for moving rope and static with 2x zigzag plus, ART twinline and ART ropeguide cambium savers, knee ascender, carbon spikes, throw bags and lines etc - 3x protos bluetooth communications headsets - 2x Fuel cans, aluminium and high lift wedges, lots of files for all the saws and spare new chains, 2 stroke oil etc At this point I am not looking to split anything up yet and am only looking to sell it as a job lot, I will consider splitting the list down if there is no interest as I know its allot of stuff and the price will reflect that. I have given everything that is applicable a fresh LOLER as I am an inspector and have been for over 3 years so everything is documented, I tend to keep things in good clean working condition and have photos of everything which I can email or send via Whatsapp etc and can share the LOLER sheet which gives a more specific lowdown of everything, videos of the saws can be taken and all are in good working order with all the saws, bar the 462 (2017), being no more than 2 years old. I have taken the time to retail price check the majority of the gear and it totals to around £15,000, the winch and 500i alone are £4000 new. Most of the climbing and rigging gear is within the last 2 years however there are odd bits that are older like the spikes and odd bits of hardware. At this point I'm looking for around £8000 and open to realistic offers for everything together and just looking to see if there is any interest in such a big load of gear. Its more suited towards a small company as the saws, rigging gear and headsets all suit a three man team. I will strongly suggest that any potential buyers have received structured training in the use of the rigging winch, its very similar to a GRCS with a few modifications (rope brake, exchangeable lowering cylinder) but its not something to just pic up and run with, it really benefits from an experienced team who know when to employ it and how to do so safely (That's where the headsets come in handy). As I said there is a load of stuff here I haven't mentioned but can go into more depth on if there is any interest but at this stage please do not ask for prices or info on specific parts as I will relist things if the lot doesn't go to one buyer. Feel free to message via the website or email if you are interested. Many thanks James£8,000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nG90WJ1jc For people who like to see trees being dismantled on the X axis, here is some footage from the dismantle of two beech trees August 2018 using the DMM Offya and DMM Deviant tyrolean system. Access for a crane was very tight (lane only just possible to fit a 3.5t van down) with no place to set the outriggers and space was limited in the garden itself (on a bank) to rig conventionally and drag by hand so we chose to use ropework to our advantage. This was the first useage of the Deviant in anger during validation so it was decided beforehand to set a modest working load of 500kgs for the system. Switch to 1080HD and enjoy!

I'm interested in trying some x rings or similar. Who is now using them in the UK, how you getting on with them? What are the differences in the various makes? I'm interested in getting them already in appropriate slings and fit for loler purposes so which uk suppliers are doing this and is the arrangement ce marked for inspections? Or do I wait until the arb show and see whats what there? TIA David

When rigging using a spider's leg (SL) is there a one rule fits all in rigging? I am told and it "mostly" works that use the rigging line to go distal and keep the spider's leg at the butt end where you're cutting. Just for note; both the rope and SL are anchor hitched to rigging crabs with slings on (knotless rigging). The theory then is that both the spiders leg & the rigging rope are taught. Now as long as the centre of gravity (COG) is in between both tie off points; preferably nearer the middle I'd hope, then all will be well; the branch will come down HORIZONTAL! What's other climbers experience of this? With the crane rigs your rigging point is easier and more central. Rigging from the tree you're working on things are a little tighter for space in the third dimension (mostly skywards). So I am saying keep your distal tie off as far out as you can get (without wasting too much energy and climbing time) and your butt end close. Ensure both rigging rope and SL are tight and the COG is somewhere near the middle. If anyone disagrees please help as it's not been 100% or if there's an easier rule of thumb let me know. Some climbers think the SL and rigging end should form an equilateral triangle. Also whilst I'm asking does the law of physics demand that if you have a perfect rig on a SL with horizontal dropping of the branch is there more weight being put on the rigging point that the groundie is attached to; be that a simple wrap (or no wrap), port-a-wrap or whatever? Obviously there are two rigging points on the receiving end. I'm well aware that there are many out there who've thrown their spider's leg in the proverbial footwell BUT used well and in the right situation they're a great asset to the climber's arsenal IF s/he can use it with confidence.

...of a guy dismantling a pole, top down ing, or whatever we want to call it, and he had a flip line and his main climbing line. He used some kind of pulley system on his main line so once he had dropped a section he disconnected his flip, dropped on his main line, reconnected his flip, ascended a foot or so, then pulled another line and his pulley'd main line released and dropped to him. He then re attached it, as one would a secondary line, took off another section and repeated the whole process. Looked very cool but I have never seen it done like that over here. Is this normal practice for you more experienced peeps? and if so what pulley/kit do you use for the secondary/main line? The video if you want to see what I'm babbling about is here: and to save time the best example is at 16:40

Hi all, and Happy New Year! I have to admit to being an infrequent contributor but like to dip in and out to keep up with what's going on out there. I'm based in Weymouth, Dorset and have just taken my first tentative steps into video Having been inspired by August and several others, I've recently joined the GoPro club, and have just posted my first arb video on YouTube. I know it's not up to the high standard you can find elsewhere, but maybe in time, who knows... I hope you enjoy it! Dale Coastal Tree Care [ame= ] [/ame]

i am new to rigging . Today i took some fairly big limbs off a black poplar . i did this by wrapping the rope around the limb and choking it by clipping the karabina onto the rope and pulling it tight. This worked but whenever i see pictures or videos of tree surgeons rigging they always have some sort of device, pulley or knot system . Is there a right or wrong way to rigging? And what is the best way of doing it ?

Early 2010 saw the start of a major project by ISC to modernise a timeless classic. The ISC Cast Pulleys are probably the most widely used Pulley Blocks by Arborist's for rigging around the World. Originally developed in 1996 these blocks have been the backbone to most arborist's rigging situations and a tool every arborist both young and old has come to trust and respect. Like all classics there finally comes a time to make some changes. During the re-development of the pulley it was important to retain its classic features but introduce change. The new rounder profile enhances the whole tactile feel of the block and reduces the risk of burred or sharp edges that may wear a rigging rope. What's New Increased radius on all edges both internal and external All pulley details are now easily located on an Identification Plate The internal Spring Lock location hole is now honed out for easier location Increased internal width to accommodate larger diameter anchor slings Larger diameter top & bottom axles; Diameter increased by >10% What's Retained The classic ISC Pulley Block Shape The trusted and proven Spring Lock System eliminating chance of cross threading Same external dimensions (Length & Width) Same strengths as the previous versions CE certification to European Machinery Directive Currently available in two models IS-RP051-A1 SRP £89.00+vat IS-RP055-A1 £109.00+vat For further details and specifications please click here These can now be ordered and purchased from all good Arborist Supply Retailers ISC is a SPONSOR of the "ultimate arb competition" and these will be part of the prize fund.
