Stein RCW3001 Lowering Device

Stein RCW3001 Lowering Device

The Stein RCW3001 Lowering Device is a professional rigging bollard designed to give arborists controlled load handling during lowering operations, with the added flexibility to integrate a winch when lifting is required. With a working load limit of up to 3000 kg, the Stein RCW3001 Lowering Device supports demanding rigging tasks while keeping lowering control fully independent from the winch system.

Independent bollard control with winch compatibility

This device operates primarily as a standalone lowering bollard, meaning the load remains supported directly on the drum during descent. When lifting is required, the compatible RC Winch can be attached or removed within seconds without tools. Because the winch connects independently via a friction hitch and winch line, the system allows controlled lifting, smooth load transfer, and unrestricted lowering once the winch is disengaged.

Efficient rope handling for heavier rigging lines

The RCW3001 features a large diameter drum designed to manage ropes up to 19 mm in diameter. The 45-degree angled rope guides allow wraps to be added or removed quickly, helping operators fine-tune friction based on load weight and working conditions. This setup supports consistent rope flow and predictable control when lowering heavier sections.

Built for demanding site use

Weighing over 13 kg excluding the winch and mounting straps, the Stein RCW3001 Lowering Device offers the mass and stability required for controlled rigging. The unit is secured using a ratchet strap, with the option to back this up using an anchor sling depending on site requirements. Supplied protective rubbers help reduce contact damage when mounted against the tree, supporting responsible rigging practice.
