Notch Medium Stainless Steel Portawrap
The Notch Portawrap is a lightweight and compact rope friction device designed for safely lowering heavy wood. Created by arborists Scott Prophett and Norm Hall in the early 90s, this device has become a reliable tool for minimizing damage caused by falling tree parts.
Previously, ground workers managed heavy wood by wrapping the lines around a nearby tree, which could damage the tree’s bark. The Portawrap simplifies this process, allowing for:
- Quick wrapping and unwrapping between loads.
- Efficient management of lowering tasks.
- Consistent friction for better control during operation.
Features of the Notch Portawrap include:
- Significant corrosion resistance.
- Rust-proof stainless steel construction for durability.
- Seamless main tube for enhanced strength-to-weight ratio.
- Chamfered edges to prevent sharp points.
- Tree-protecting cap to avoid damage during use.
The Medium Stainless Steel Notch Portawrap accommodates lines up to 5/8 in (16mm) and weighs 4.25 lbs. All strength and rope specifications are labeled directly on the device. For the best rope friction device on the market, consider getting a Portawrap from Notch—"It's the Real Deal." - Scott Prophett
