Description: The Portawrap is a lightweight and compact rope friction device designed for lowering heavy wood in a controlled manner. For lines up to 5/8 in (16mm). The Notch Portawrap is a lightweight and compact rope friction device designed for lowering heavy wood in a controlled manner. The Portawrap has been proven a highly dependable and effective tool in sparing properties the damage inflicted by free-falling tree parts. In the past, a ground worker’s main option for rope-controlling heavy wood was to wrap the line’s running end around a nearby tree (shown left), often candy-striping the “wrap tree” from bark-scorching surface friction. But now, in the time it once took to coil up a lowering line and walk it around the next candy cane-to-be, the modern arborist can have a Portawrap locked and loaded for multiple lowering tasks. Quickly wrapped and unwrapped between loads, the Portawrap turns a once precarious tango among fallen brush and tree parts into a smooth-flowing waltz in a small, easily maintained space. And unlike the ever-changing tree trunk surface, the Portawrap presents predictable and unchanging friction to ropes, allowing the groundsman to concentrate strictly on the dynamics of the activity above.
