Rappelling Equipment

Lowering equipment for arborists and rigging

Lowering equipment is crucial for the safe and controlled removal of branches and trunk sections in arborist work. With the right rigging and lowering system, you can handle heavy loads, reduce ground damage, and work more efficiently – even in cramped urban environments.

Controlled lowering

By using braking and friction-generating equipment, you can control the speed, load, and direction when lowering material from the tree.

• Lowering devices / bollards – create friction and control.
• Port-a-wrap & rigging brakes – for flexible lowering.
• Friction devices – safely handle high loads.
• Rigging kits – complete systems for advanced removal.

For heavy arborist work

Lowering equipment is primarily used in section felling where branches and trunk sections must be lowered in a controlled manner instead of being dropped freely.

• Reduces shock load in rigging systems
• Protects anchors and ropes
• Provides better precision during removal
• Increases safety for ground crew

Complete your rigging system

For a complete system, lowering equipment is often combined with rigging ropes, blocks, slings, and throw lines. The right setup provides better power distribution and a safer workflow for advanced tree felling.

Here you will find equipment adapted for professional arborists who work with controlled section removal and heavy rigging daily.
