I can see that the back plate is higher and has a triangular hole in it. Was this for a easier one man set up?

Why would you need to have a 'one man set-up' lowering device? isn't there usually more than one person involved in the use of a lowering device anyway? I doubt thats what the triangular hole is for, maybe its for holding a small Toblerone? I suspect that by incorporating a Toblerone into the lowering device you negate the need for lunch as the person running the ropes would keep hunger at bay by eating a chunk of triangular chocolate after each branch was lowered.


thats a good guess, but I dont think thats what that is for. the hole was designed to hold these pens, in case the groundie needs to write something down.

Toblerone is well known to help climber / riggers ... I never thought about Toblerone for the Ground worker... makes sense !

Great looking unit, lot of thought has gone into it and the build quality looks excellent. Doubt it will be available in the US due to Greggs patent. Good to see tree guys keep pushing the advances....

if the toblerone melts, then your rigging to fast!
it's a build in safety!


oh! and i forgot, the winch handle is the same you use to fix it on the tree!

I'm not feeling it. I'm Skittles man, what am I supposed to do with that triangle thing?

 

[Grasshopper]

you can hang it for easy install,you could fix a sling trough, you could tie off a floating rigging point.

be creative and safe ;-)

 

[treestyler]

or just weld it shut if youre not so much off a toblerone guy ;-)
