Port-a-Wrap III Lowering Device
Used for lowering heavy branches or logs, the Port-a-Wrap III is a friction device that enables a single person to control loads many times their own weight. By taking wraps with the rigging line around the Port-a-Wrap, friction is applied to the rope; the more wraps taken, the more friction applied. Compared to the traditional method of taking wraps around the trunk of the tree, the Port-a-Wrap provides more consistent friction that doesn't vary from one tree to the next, can be tied off to allow the worker to let go and walk away from the rope, can be combined with a fiddle block to hoist branches, and does not damage the tree. For a full false crotch lowering kit including the Port-a-Wrap, see our False Crotch Rigging Kits.
The Port-a-Wrap III you see here is available with black powder coating or more durable nickel plating. Also available in lightweight aluminum, which has excellent heat dissipating properties. These all made in the U.S.A. by Buckingham Manufacturing, whose instructions are included with each Port-a-Wrap device. (Port-a-Wrap III instructions can also be downloaded at the link below.)
