STEIN RC Dual Lowering Device

[Bixler]

What do you guys think about this dual bollard? Who has one?

The tension device seems fast and efficient. It's priced at $1,299. http://stein-usa.com/proddetail.php?prod=SS-RC3002

Some nice shots of the dual in this vid.

Stephen has the ratcheting KK bollard. It looks like a nice piece if you don't need all that capacity with the Stein. I was definitely thinking of getting one, at one point, but rarely need to rig anything half-way big.

How do you see using it? Do you need to lift leads on spreading oaks and the like?

You could always ask Reg ......

I thought about it, then went for the single. I have enough trouble getting groundies to run one rope let alone two....

Plus I use my knuckle boom as much as possible rather than rigging, and I can always use the loader to tension rigging lines.

DRT rigging. Seems like a good idea.
