... mind you, at 3 m/sec stopping in time might be a bit of an issue! You might very well end up concussing yourself on the branch the access line is installed on. Ouch. /forum/images/graemlins/vollkommenauf.gif

Here's a pic of the device. Gnarly!

 

[Norm_Hall]

How much does it weigh? And what is it constructed of?

 

[Colin]

Cool! I wouldn't want to get my shirt caught in it, though!

i wouldn't use those grip gloves with that thing...it would take your arm off at the shoulder before you new it.

Nice...of late the website that showcased Graeme McMahon's "Beam, me up Scotty" similar device has disappeared.

I just talked to the guy from Powerquick Canada, turns out he is located in my city. They do not have CSA approval as of yet but are working on it. An approx. price for each of the units is, model 300: $12K and the model 500: 14K, both in Canadian dollars. The guy wants to buy me lunch and is interested in my feedback, up until a week ago he didn't know what an arborist was. Who knows, he might need some tree work done..............barter, hmmmmmmmmmm.
