Mounting Methods
The Working Load Limit is based on using the specified mounting Ratchet Handle & Strap and backed up
with a sufficiently rated Anchor Sling.
Must be use with
a sufficiently
rated Dead-Eye
Sling
Tree Protection Mounts
The device is supplied with a set of rubber protection mounts.
To fit these insert one in the top channel of the device and one in the
bottom, these are designed to be a tight fit.
The mounts should be inspected carefully prior to use and rotated
each time the device is used.
Never use the device with only one of the rubber protection
mounts fitted
When mounting the device it is recommended to locate it at a height where the rope will be
tailed out as close to horizontal as possible. This will ensure the maximum use of the fairleads

This method of mounting is used
where selected limbs are being
removed but the tree remains. This
method helps protect the tree from
damage.
This method of mounting is used
where the tree is being dismantled
and the limbs lowered are of a
heavy size and where impact
loading may occur.
Must be use with
a sufficiently
rated Dead-Eye
Sling
When using method 2 the sunken
cut should not exceed 2cm. Any
deeper than 2cm and this will
interfere with the base anchor
point and will make the top
attachment point unusable.

Working Zone
The user should position the
device so there is a clear
working zone of 120̊ from the
front of the device. The lowering
line must stay within this
working zone to ensure correct
rope alignment. This also
prevents the rope from
overlapping on the bollard and
makes full use of the fairleads.
