The Notch Medium Portawrap - Stainless Steel is a professional lowering device designed to provide controlled rope friction during arboricultural rigging operations. Developed by arborists Scott Prophett and Norm Hall and manufactured exclusively by Notch, it offers predictable rope control for lowering timber safely while helping protect both ropes and trees during dismantling work.

Controlled lowering with consistent friction

The Portawrap allows ground crews to manage heavy loads using a dedicated friction device rather than wrapping lowering ropes around the base of a tree. This provides smooth, repeatable friction that remains consistent throughout each lowering operation, allowing the grounds person to focus on controlling the load rather than compensating for changing bark surfaces. It can be wrapped and unwrapped quickly between lowering cycles, helping improve efficiency during dismantling work.

Built for demanding professional environments

Manufactured from rust-proof stainless steel, the Medium Portawrap offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, making it particularly well suited to coastal environments and wet working conditions. The seamless main tube maximises strength while maintaining an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Chamfered edges on both the tube and solid posts help protect ropes from unnecessary wear, while the integrated tree protection cap helps reduce damage to the trunk during installation and use.

Designed for everyday arborist rigging

Suitable for lowering ropes up to 16 mm (5/8"), the Medium Portawrap weighs approximately 4.25 lb (1.93 kg), providing an excellent balance between portability and robust performance. Strength and rope compatibility information are marked directly onto the device for quick identification, making it a trusted choice for professional arborists carrying out controlled lowering and dismantling operations.
