Description

The Notch Port-a-wrap is a lightweight and reliable rope friction device for controlled lowering of heavy timber. Protects both the line and the tree during felling work.


The Portawrap is a lightweight and compact rope friction device intended for lowering heavy timber in a controlled manner. Designed by arborists Scott Prophett and Norm Hall in the early 90s, the Portawrap has proven to be a very reliable and effective tool for minimising damage caused by free-falling tree parts. Previously, the ground worker's main option was to wrap the line around a nearby tree, which often resulted in bark damage to the "wrapping tree" due to friction. With the Portawrap, the modern arborist can quickly prepare the device for several lowering tasks in the time it took to wrap the line around a tree. The Portawrap is wrapped on and released quickly between loads, making the lowering of timber from trees a smooth process in a compact format. Unlike the varying surface of a tree trunk, the Portawrap provides predictable and constant friction, so the ground worker can focus on the dynamics above.

The Portawrap has excellent corrosion resistance. The stainless steel construction withstands extreme conditions such as high heat, salt and humidity in coastal environments. The main tube is seamless for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, and all edges are chamfered to eliminate sharp corners. A special feature is the tree-protecting cap that prevents damage to the tree when loaded with heavy loads.
