Notch Large Stainless Steel Portawrap
The Notch Portawrap is a lightweight and compact rope friction device designed for lowering heavy loads in a controlled manner. Developed by arborists Scott Prophett and Norm Hall in the early 1990s, the Portawrap has become a reliable and effective tool for safely lowering loads during rigging operations.
Previously, ground workers primarily controlled heavy wood by wrapping the lines around a nearby tree, which often led to damage from surface friction. Today, the modern arborist can quickly set up a Portawrap for multiple lowering tasks, significantly enhancing efficiency.
- Quickly wrapped and unwrapped between loads
- Provides a user-friendly solution for lowering limbs and blocks
- Offers predictable friction, allowing focus on load dynamics
The Notch Portawrap features significant corrosion resistance and tree protection. Its rust-proof, stainless-steel design is capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions. Features:
- Seamless main tube for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Chamfered edges to eliminate sharp risks
- Special tree-protecting cap designed by Scott Prophett
The Large Stainless Steel Notch Portawrap accommodates lines up to 3/4", weighs 7 1/4 lbs, and directly displays strength and rope specifications.
