Stein LD1250 Floating Friction Device

Stein LD1250 Floating Friction Device

The Stein LD1250 Floating Friction Device is a rope friction device designed for controlled lowering of timber or objects from elevated positions during arborist rigging operations. Its user-friendly layout supports efficient setup on site, with a design that allows mounting in either orientation. This flexibility helps operators adapt quickly to different anchor points and working conditions while maintaining clear and predictable rope control.

Flexible mounting for adaptable rigging setups

The LD1250 Floating Friction Device can be installed in either orientation, allowing the device to be positioned to suit site layout and operator preference. This adaptability supports quicker setup and adjustment during rigging tasks, helping maintain workflow efficiency. The straightforward configuration keeps operation clear, supporting consistent handling during controlled lowering from height.

Guided rope control with replaceable fairleads

Replaceable fairleads guide the rigging line through the device, supporting smooth friction management during lowering. These fairleads also allow secure tie-off when required and can act as redirects, enabling operators to work from a safer distance. Designed to accept ropes up to 16 mm in diameter, the device supports controlled handling under load while maintaining predictable performance.

Compatibility and protection during operation

The LD1250 Floating Friction Device is compatible with STEIN Hauler Kits, allowing loads to be raised before lowering or assisting with pre-tensioning as part of the rigging system. A removable and replaceable protection rubber helps protect mounting surfaces during use. With a working load limit of 1250 kg and a device weight of 4.43 kg, it is suited to regular professional use in demanding rigging environments.
