By extra rope running through the device, I mean that to go 2 ft, 4 ft of rope passes through the device. I guess the runner has to only hold half the weight in ddrt as srt. Either way, when using in ddrt I find a thinner softer rope works better, imo.
I use my runner pro ddrt for all crane work. It's not as smooth ddrt as srt but still works great for me. I do run a smaller diameter rope when using it in a ddrt configuration to help reduce the drag created with extra rope running through the device.
Also I find a magnetic trending point...
What is the safety factor used to create the wll for crane slings, specifically dead eye rope slings? I was under the impression it was 5:1 but just wanted to check that.
I've recently used 3/8 stable braid with good success. I was actually worried it wouldn't create enough friction but I was happy with what I could still handle
I just downloaded them today. I need a better understanding of rope material and construction to feel confident in what splice to utilize on which ropes. Like can those splices be performed on other ropes or only those?
