Brought to the tree industry by J. David Driver, the X-Man, the X-Rigging rings are simple in concept, brilliant in function. Notch Hard Coated Large Rigging Thimbles #3 (38mm x 28 mm) are made with milled aluminum, then hard-coat anodized, and then polished making them strong, durable and low friction. Spliced in-house by Rope Logic with Tenex by Samson for reliability and quality you can count on. The uses for rigging applications are many; redirect, fair lead, speedline, you name it. Perhaps its best property is the most subtle one—through the use of strategically placed X-Rigging rings, riggers aloft can devise rigging systems that work with the tree’s strength and structure. Rope and rope angles can be managed in and around the tree, in and out of blocks and other rigging points. Weak points can be strengthened or avoided. Loads can be placed in compression on the tree and trees can be removed safely and effectively.
