I wound up getting a good deal on a ratcheting bollard from a guy over on Treebuzz. It CAN be used to winch in line, but it's tough to do single-handedly. The main problem I have is that the rope tries to stack up at the back of the spool, thereby locking itself off. You have to crank in a...

That looks nice, cutitup. I've got some steel laying around and I've thought about building something like that. Is the base part 6-inch channel? That's what I thought about using. Gotta get wome more acetylene before I can do anything though. Got any more pics of it?

I don't work alone because I'm bursting forth with energy...it's usually because I can't find help. I have been more fortunate in the past several years when it comes to big jobs, and haven't done a big job alone for some time now.

I didn't introduce this thread for folks to get fired up about abilities or price rates or anything else. I asked if anyone had any experience with the fixed bollards. I have been in this line of work for 24 years, but 20+ years of it was natural crotch rigging all the way. I picked up on false...

I have a large port-a-wrap, as well as one of the old style that favors a ship's anchor. I also have an assortment of tenex slings that I have made up, some whoopies, some eye-slings. As I said, my main problem (I should say concern) is that because the portie is not rigidly attached to the...

I guess what I'm really asking is if the fixed bollards are worth fooling with or not. You guys that already have GRCS's, do you lower most everything with the winch spool, or do you put on the aluminum bollard? It seems like lowering big pieces would cause a lot of premature wear to the winch...

I'm in the process of acquiring a new lowering device. I "want" a GRCS, but don't know that I can justify the cost at this time. I'm considering a regular friction bollard for the time being. It would be the same as the GRCS using the aluminum bollard, it just won't have the lifting capability...
