Sling and block to set a false crotch

[jmack]

I trhink you have the right idea as far as cutting the weight down. Problem is there are never exact numberd to work with in this biz!!!

Buckingham, the way I took it, is that it wasn't to be used AT ALL for a block attachment!!!

I know that we all look for the simplest/easiest set ups we can find. But is it really worth the it if things can get compromised???

3/4 whoopie will hold yer block thats why its adjustable there made for blocks you will break the block before the sling you were talking to a secretary

3/4 whoopie WLL=3380#
3/4 capacity aluminum isc arborist block WLL=4800#
yes you can rig with a whoopie but youll break yer sling before yer block unless yer block is defective.

Secretary...don't think so!

Chris Delavery was his name..he was in customer service. Glad you proved me wrong!

Maybe it's time you got a secretary though!!!:bang:

Most of the time, the whoopie sling is what I use to rig my false crotch. I'll also use one to set up my portawrap on smaller trees. I like the fact that it's easily adjustable.

Hey Coydog,

The WLL of rope is usually 1/10 of the MBS, and the WLL of hardware is usually 1/5 of the MBS. Not sure of the block in question but the hardware will probably fail first. Not trying to start anything, just my 2 cents.
