Stein RCW3002 Lowering Device

Building on the success of the RCW-3001 Stein have now re-introduced the Stein Dual. The RCW-3002 has been re-engineered to take the RCWINCH System.

The Dual is a power-house of lowering devices, the large diameter drums easily accommodate working lines up to 19mm and has a working load limit of up to 6614lbs / 3000kg (combined subject to mounting type). The drums have two sets of rope guides (fairleads) specially angled at 45-degrees which allows the operator to quickly add or subtract wraps.

Although weighing in excess of 56lbs / 26kg excluding the winch and mounting straps it can be easily mounted by one person by utilizing the top attachment point as a suspension point and simply attaching the winch in seconds once the device is mounted. A specially designed ratchet strap with waterproof webbing securely attaches the device to the tree and can be backed up by securing an Anchor-Sling to the base anchor point. Supplied as standard with two heavy duty rubber inserts for use when tree protection is required.

Not all rigging jobs require the facility of lifting capability! This simple option now allows the operator to use the bollards independently of the winch and should a lifting process be required the winch can be attached within seconds with no tools required. The RCWINCH can also be integrated into the system during a lowering procedure should it be required.

Unlike other Winch Style Bollards the RCWINCH does not support the load during a lowering procedure; the load is supported on the bollard as the winch is attached to the lowering line independently through a friction hitch and winch line. This allows the load to be fully supported on the bollard and not the winch. Once the load has been winched to its desired position, the full weight is then easily transferred to the main rigging line, by reversing the winch and separating the two lines. At which point the suspended load can be safely lowered, independently and unimpeded by the winch.

The RCW-3002 is probably the most user friendly and flexible Winching Bollard on the market to date.
