Thanks! make sure to check back spring of 2025, we're in the early process of redoing all of these videos.

We're currently in process of redoing all of our videos, check back after the new year.

It's the bowline. we teach how to tie it here: th-cam.com/video/1shxMVRsLYk/w-d-xo.html

There are merits to both options. Aluminum is light weight and easier to transport, but it doesn't deform before failing like steel does. Personally I'd rather have a rig that I can visually see has been stressed before it fails. But that's just my 2 cents. -Tyler

We don't sell equipment, but you can find these on Grainger for a reasonable price.

You are very welcome! If you are enjoying it, can you do us a favor and follow our channel? We are currently in the process of redoing these videos (expect them in early 2025) and the more people who follow the page, the better!

These devices are the perfect tool for when you're "up the creek without a paddle" but they are never part of plan A. exception being on a permanent install when you need to keep tension on a wire rope before it's time to terminate the wire rope.

I’ll be using one on Friday to pull cable, everyone uses them for it. Using a come along or chain fall or winch makes it so it can’t slip

Generally speaking as long as you are doing the same thing on both side, the difference is pretty negligible (note, not non-existent, just not enough to be of concern in most situations).

We're glad you found it helpful!

John, Shoot us an email at hello@delongriggingsolutions.com and let us know what you're looking for. We are hoping to do another round of videos in 2024!

Hi John, We have a couple, depending on what you're looking for.

You are very welcome!

When it comes to the terminations, technically there is no incorrect knot. That being said the half hitches are my go-to because they make it easy to control the position of the tension block while you tie the the knot and if you do 3 of them, you have redundancy in systems where the knot hits the the idler block.

Thank you, we enjoyed putting these together and want to do more of them, but at this point we need more people to use them to justify doing more.! If you could do us a favor and do two things. 1. share these videos with your co-workers. 2. Follow the youtube channel.

@@delongriggingsolutions7540 for sure!

There are some methods out there, but none that are 100% reliable.

There are lots of causes for this. The most common cause is actually issues with your arbor guide system (T-track). Feel free to shoot us an email at Hello@delongrriggingsolutions.com to chat some more about it.

Ealaa alrahb walsaea!

That is a good question Steffan. The answer is that on a 10' basket, you can't reach the knot to untie it if the bowline is too short. A good guideline to avoid this problem is that your bowline should always be half the size of your basket. It should also be noted that while stepping into your bowline to hold a load is a way of doin things, there are several techniques. Personally I'm a fan of pinching the rope between the beam and my foot, knee, or thigh.

Yes it is, however in our applications, it's rarely the best option.

We hope to do more in the near future, but there is no solid timeline.

Zuko, we keep discussing doing more videos. If you want to encourage us to do it, subscribe to our TH-cam Channel, and tell all of your friends to do the same. Once we have enough subscribers, we'll definitely do me.

Honestly, it's second nature at this point. That being said, most peoples feet is wider than the slots between ribbons, and speaking as someone who has gone through a well before on purpose... You have to try really hard to fit through that hole and doing it on accident is technically possible, but is not a realistic scenario.

Alan, I am not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about the rope that an up rigger would use to pull the built bridle up to the anchor point?

Papou, Check out our video on Calculating Bridles here: th-cam.com/video/NBtxV4JZ9BM/w-d-xo.html .

@@delongriggingsolutions7540 Thanks but that video uses known anchor points at 20'. Not all structures have that advantage so if your anchors are not uniform you cannot calculate bridle lengths without knowing your anchor spacing. How do you do that?

@@papoupapou3512 If you need to know the distance between your anchors, you use laser levels to find the center of the anchors on the ground and you measure between them.

Craig! I took one of his Zoom classes. Really solid. You should too.

@@brianreed8473 , how do you think I discovered that he explained this better than I do! haha!

Hi Richard, Typically these systems are no different than the ones we talk about in our videos. The only difference is that a system along the US wall would have a series of redirects (also known as Mule Blocks) that would send the lift lines where they are needed.

Thanks Amar! If you are enjoying these videos, go ahead and subscribe to the TH-cam Channel. When we get enough followers to justify it, we'll do another round of videos!

Deck chains are not a perfect science, with experience adjusting them gets easier to do "on-the-fly". To answer your question, it depends on the size of your deck chain (there are 3" and 4" links out there) and how shallow your bridles are. If you were to have 2 beams that are say 10 feet apart and you're using a 5' basket and 10' + 3L legs on each side, a single link would move your point differently than if you're using 20'+3L legs on both sides. A single link would effect the bridle differently if one leg is say a 10'+3L and the other leg was a 20'. When working with deck chain, honestly best practice is to do the math for your starting point. If you miss, take an educated guess on how much a link is going to move your point, and have the up rigger make the adjustment. If you miss again, you now know exactly how much a link moves your point and you can make a more educated guess on the next attempt.

Hello Ghulam, shoot us an email at hello@delongriggingsolutions.com and we'll see what we can do for you.

Thank you!

Hi Kevin, You can find what you are looking for in one of our other videos. Basic Bridle Math: th-cam.com/video/NBtxV4JZ9BM/w-d-xo.html

You are very welcome! if you are enjoying these, please subscribe to our channel. Once We get enough subscribers, we'll do more!

We use different ropes for different things, but our go-to "point pulling rope" is Yale Cordage 1/2" Double Esterlon Rigging Rope. It has an 11000 lbs Breaking Strength and is SUPER soft once you break it in. Be warned, it can be a bit on the slippery side until it's broken in (I actually put mine through the laundry a few times to speed up the break in period).

Thank you! What we currently have up is what we consider to be the bare minimum to keep people safe. We would love to do more, but it take a lot of time and money to make these very basic videos. If you want more of these, share them with your friends and tell them to follow the TH-cam Channel. When we hit 1000 followers we'll invest the time and money into doing more of these.

You are very welcome! We made these videos because we felt that there was a need for them and it appears that we were correct!
