Description
The Notch Portawrap Medium Lowering Device is a revolutionary tool in the field of arboriculture, offering a safe and efficient solution for lowering heavy loads with precision and control. With its compact design and lightweight construction, this device is easy to transport and set up, making it ideal for use in various rigging operations.
This Portawrap is specifically engineered to handle lines up to 9/16 inch (14mm) in diameter, providing versatility and reliability when working with different types of ropes. Its innovative friction technology ensures a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the risk of accidents and damage to surrounding structures.
Whether you are a professional arborist, a tree care specialist looking for a dependable rigging tool, the Notch Portawrap is a must-have addition to your equipment arsenal. Trust in the quality and performance of this device to enhance your rigging operations and ensure the safety of yourself and your team.
In the past, a ground worker’s main option for rope-controlling heavy wood was to wrap the line’s running end around a nearby tree, often damaging the “wrap tree” from surface friction. But now, in the time it once took to coil up a lowering line and walk it around the tree, the modern arborist can have a Portawrap locked and loaded for multiple lowering tasks. Quickly wrapped and unwrapped between loads, the Portawrap provides the user with a an easy to use solution for lowering anything from limbs to blocks. And unlike the ever-changing tree trunk surface, the Portawrap presents predictable and unchanging friction to ropes, allowing the groundsman to concentrate strictly on the dynamics of the activity above.
The Notch Portawrap has significant corrosion resistance and tree protection. The rust-proof stainless-steel Portawrap will stand up to the worst heat, salt and humidity that a coastal company can throw at it. The main tube on the Notch Portawrap is seamless, maximizing its strength-to-weight ratio. Seamless tubing is ideal for more stressful applications requiring higher quality, increased mechanical properties, uniformity and strength. Notch has all edges on the main tube and solid posts chamfered to eliminate any sharp edges.
