GRCS Drop test video

Check this out, the GRCS takes a beating, the Hobbs was tested too. I had this video sent over from USA on a DVD to get it out there on the net.

Video is 11.06mins long, 55mb WMV and was edited by Berenek, very good quality, editing and viewing.

Wow!

Talk about purposeful equipment abuse!

I was hoping for some real work footage and the climber taking a few bull rides like I've taken catching big wood with my Hobbs.

Still the video showing a Hobbs like mine taking that kind of dynamic overloading with a 2 inch bull line and a 3K shock load without catastrophic failure of the Hobbs is a very good indication that it's a pretty dang rugged piece of rigging equipment.

Are there any good videos of these devices being used in a serious manner to catch big wood in a real work situation?

Thanks again Ekka.

Spectacular! They must have had some monster block up in the tree to catch those loads.

awesome videos....

Thank you for the videos... amazing to see just how tough equipment is and it's interesting to see in a real life demonstration where and how failures happen. A great demonstration of how dynamic versus static loading are two very different animals..... very impressive
