I have a couple port a wraps I made for my own use which I must say is very little. I know people have built their own but I was wondering is anyone has ever built a true port a wrap on a plate with a strap, kind of like the GRCS system uses? I like the idea of having the port a wrap mounted a little more solid and since I fab all of my stuff out of scrap I have laying around I figure its worth a try. I don't see any negatives to it but just wanted to ask. I have plenty of plate and a couple of load straps and winches so I figured it my be worth a shot since it would only cost me a hour or so labor. Im not a commercial arborist, just stuff for friends and friends of friends and friends of the family mostly and the only time I do use a lowering device is just to keep lawn damage to a minimum since I don't do any hazardous removals or pruning so if I do build it, it may be a while before I get to try it out. So whats the opinion here, is it worth it? Good idea? Bad idea? School me please!
