Stein RC-1000 Lowering Device

# rig117

New lowering device provides smooth and evenly applied friction. Working ropes can easily be wrapped and unwrapped without removing the RC Device from either its main anchor point or the top attachment point. Large eye on attachment for choking a sling. Attachment point on top can be used to support the device while fixing the base anchor point securely, and when used in this configuration slack line can be drawn from the system which reduces device free fall. Works with rigging lines up to 9/16”, with a Working Load Limit of 2,205 lb. Can be used with the RC-3100 pre-tension pulley sold below. Instructions included.

Stein Single Bollard Lowering Device

# rig119

New to our store, the Stein lowering device is a great new tool for lowering heavy loads in a controlled fashion. Sturdy enough to rock an impressive 6,614lb. working load limit, the device can still be easily mounted by a single person utilizing the top attachment point as a suspension point. The device is anchored to the tree using a 19’ ratcheting strap and then secured with a choked sling at the base anchor point. (Sling sold separately here.)

The large diameter rope drum can accommodate rigging ropes up to 3/4” in diameter and features two sets of rope guide bars at 45 degree angles. Works best in conjunction with the Stein pre-tension pulley sold separately below.

Stein Dual-Bollard Lowering Device

# rig120

Use two working ropes with this his heavy duty lowering device featuring dual bollards and a built-in pre-tensioning system. Can easily be mounted by a single person using the top attachment point as a suspension point. The attachment is a ratcheting 19’ strap which must be backed up by a sling choked to the base anchor point.

The large-diameter drums can be used with ropes up to 3/4” and each drum has two sets of rope guide bars. The device has a 6,614 working load limit (subject to mounting type).

Unique to this device is the pre-tensioning arm which allows you take the elongation out of the working rope and reduce free fall distance and shock load, for a more precisely controlled descent. On jobs where the arm is not required, it is easily dismounted from the device.
