$250,000-$300,00 tax, title, and license. PLUS annual vehicle insurance payments, pluse cost of annual safety inspections, plus general liability insurance, plus operator certification costs, plus maintenance costs, plus fuel, plus plus plus etc etc.

OR!

spend a measly $2,500 for a GRCS. Oh and when you dont have any jobs going for the GRCS it just sits there and does'nt cost you ANYTHING other than the space in your shop it uses to sit there.
Crane, GRCS?. Crane, GRCS? Lemme think about it for awhile... GRCS! /forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Looks like it worked. Nothing is bent or mangled. Thats a whole lot better than takin tree wraps. Good job Larry.

Here is the rope friction device that I made that doesn't tip. The amon eye at the bottom is for an eye sling. The channel iron slot is for a 2" nylon ratcheting strap. There is a steel carabiner welded at the top to 'capture' the rope. It weighs 4.5 pounds.
I haven't used this for a while, but when I did, it came in handy.

Here is a shot from the top showing the locking carabiner.

Pretty handy Norm. Not too heavy and easy to set up.

Hey Frans:

I like your Mini-GRCS. Nice work. I too am thinking of making my own. The attachment I have is your Mini-GRCS with arrows pointing to two D-ring shaped bars. Can you tell me what their function is? Thank you.

 

[frans]

They are rope guides.
Copied directly off of the original (MIGHTY) GRCS!
Just check out the GRCS and you will see why and how these help with roping side loads.
If you have further questions please feel free to ask me via PM (like you did already) I welcome questions.
Thanks
frans

Reading back through this old post I'm surprised to see few examples, even not in 2021, of DIY Porta Wraps. I'll try my hand at one soon and post pics
