Think of a GRCS or Hobbs device strapped to a tree.
Well this system's a powered winch spool strapped to the base of a tree, that's remotely controlled by the climber hanging from the end of the unit's line/rope/hose like a spider.
An unimpeded work zone all around you, except directly above you.
The ideal embodiment for this system is obviously mounted onto a telescoping hydrocrane's pulley.
But it can be adapted to individual trees, with its own onboard generator powering the electrical components.
This system's ability to place all the weighty needs of a powered climbing system out of your lap and strapped to the base of the tree. Freeing up the climber to redirect anywhere in the tree they choose, light as a feather comparatively.
My pneumatic handshears weigh about 2.5 lbs, the trimsaw about 4 lbs. both together less than my 200T.
This mode of climbing is most assuredly geared toward the fine pruning market of this biz, no doubt.
My down n dirty prototype will be ready soon. But the deluxe commercial prototype with all the bells n whistles will take longer, due to getting the custom polyester rope jacket spun onto a 3/4 inch OD airhose. It ain't cheap, but it can be done.
Yup, push button up n down, loppers, chainsaws, reciprocating saws, drills. The woiks!
My first powered spool will simply tape an airhose to a TrueBlue climbing line to form one two part line. Not optimum of course, but will certainly prove the efficacy and benefits of the system.
