Developed for professional tree work, it allows independent adjustment of each rope length using a friction knot, giving precise control over balance and positioning. Its adaptable design supports a wide range of rigging configurations, making it suitable for complex branch handling where stability and accuracy are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIndependent adjustment for controlled branch positioning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spider Friction system enables each rope leg to be adjusted independently using a friction knot, allowing fine control when balancing branches. This makes it possible to level or orient loads accurately during rigging operations. The system is designed to hold branches in a horizontal position or preserve their natural orientation, supporting safer and more predictable handling during dismantling or sectional removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVersatile rigging configurations with expansion options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable sling can be used in a wide range of configurations depending on the rigging requirement. A fourth attachment hole allows the system to be enhanced with additional ORVET slings, enabling three-point rigging of branches for increased stability. This flexibility supports advanced rigging setups where load control and balance are critical, particularly on complex or uneven limbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRobust construction and defined load ratings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spider Friction is constructed from double braid 100 percent polyester with a 24-strand structure, delivering durability and consistent handling. The main sling has a diameter of 16 mm and is spliced on each end. It offers an elongation of 3 percent at 50 percent of minimum breaking strength. With a minimum breaking strength of 59 kN and a working load limit of 8.4 kN, the system provides clear performance parameters for professional use. The complete system weighs 1.8 kg and complies with Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/CE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable rigging sling for balancing and positioning branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent adjustment of each rope leg using a friction knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to hold branches horizontally or in original position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with multiple rigging configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFourth hole allows three-point rigging with additional ORVET slings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble braid 100 percent polyester construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 mm diameter sling spliced on each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum breaking strength of 59 kN with 8.4 kN working load limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 percent elongation at 50 percent of breaking strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplies with Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FTC","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":52665770410327,"sku":"FTC\/SF-7","price":181.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/FTC-Spider-Friction-Rigging-Balancer.jpg?v=1769664480","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/ftc-spider-friction-rigging-balancer","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
