Stein LD1000 Floating Friction Device

Stein LD1000 Floating Friction Device

The Stein LD1000 Floating Friction Device is a rope friction device designed for controlled lowering of timber or objects from elevated positions during arborist rigging work. Built for practical, site-ready use, it offers a straightforward solution where predictable rope control and efficient setup are required. Its design supports consistent performance across a range of lowering tasks while remaining easy to install and operate in professional working environments.

Flexible mounting for adaptable rigging setups

The LD1000 Floating Friction Device can be mounted in either orientation, allowing operators to adapt quickly to different anchor points and site layouts. This flexibility supports efficient rigging setup without the need for additional components or complex adjustments. By keeping installation simple and adaptable, the device helps crews maintain workflow efficiency while responding to changing site conditions.

Controlled rope handling with guided friction

Replaceable fairleads guide the rope through the device, supporting smooth friction control during lowering operations. These fairleads also allow secure tie-off when required and can act as redirects, enabling operators to manage loads from a safer working distance. Designed to accept ropes up to 14 mm in diameter, the LD1000 supports a working load limit of 1000 kg, providing controlled performance for a wide range of rigging tasks.

System compatibility and surface protection

The Stein LD1000 Floating Friction Device is compatible with STEIN Hauler Kits, allowing loads to be raised before lowering or assisting with pre-tensioning within the rigging system. This capability supports more controlled load management during complex operations. A removable and replaceable protection rubber helps protect mounting surfaces during use and can be replaced as part of routine maintenance. With a device weight of 3.3 kg, it remains manageable to handle and transport on site while supporting repeated professional use.
