Reach out to Matt at Matt’s Off-Road Recovery. He is a large KZfaqr located in Utah. He is someone who does recoveries out in the wild. Canyons, mountains, rivers, basically anywhere a regular or specialized vehicle can venture. They have done jobs where they needed the bumper mounted winch. To help move people and items up a steep grade where vehicles left the road and tumbled down. So it could give them more capability when the bumper winch is already in service pulling a vehicle. He sells dynamic tow ropes and has switched to more or less running soft shackles to recover vehicles up to the size of huge motor coaches with trailers attached. He is currently running a huge event with about 10 or 12 other KZfaq channels/ content creators as a 3 day event with vendors and plenty of content and cross promotion. I think he lives in a town called Hurricane Utah. Beautiful place. He can certainly answer your question regarding an off-road application. Could be another untapped market for your business. I also think it would be interesting to see how you could benefit each other. www.KZfaq.com/@MattsOffRoadRecovery Email is listed. HTH

This is cool as fuck.. Once they get their economy to scale figured out and can sell these for ~$700 I think this company will take off as standard equipment in every rope access guy's kit. It reminds me of a YAE210 which I heard through the grapevine supports an electric drill the same way and can ascend and descend and has a wheel built onto it if your drill dies so you can use it manually.. They're only $400, and are made by a company that's been specializing in climbing/cargo gear for over 40 years. You might appreciate this, but they even do all their own in house testing and are willing to show how that testing is done/measured. Nal Hon is a super good enough type of company in my eyes from what I've been able to read =D lol, you might have talked me into buying one just to see how it stacks up next to the Z2R

This would be terrific on sailboats. For solo sailors to go up the mast and doing boat jobs alone. Also solo sailors lifting an outboard off a dinghy, and hauling the dinghy onto the fore deck. Right now I use a block and tackle because I can't both manage the dinghy and work the winch back in the cockpit. It would also be useful for winching up an anchor and chain if the capstan broke. (You'd have to keep repositioning the rope, but it would be easier than man hauling up 100' of 3/8" chain and a 70lb anchor.)

So far the best two ways up a mast is someone with some experience on a power winch, or a double block and tackle with 4:1 advantage. You do need large diameter rope so you can comfortably hold it in your hands. This rig costs about $1000. Riggers use it.

I suppose a hand crank could work but it would be quite slow, and only applicable to if a drill died. You don't want more force than a drill can get since it's rated for 440lbs and we were getting 1000 with the drill. At some point the gears don't like it.

This (and things like it) combined with man portable rigging frames would be a really cool product catalog. I've seen cranes with over 500T of ballast used to lift things in the 1T range because that was the smallest that had the reach. If you could dolly some stuff into an elevator and man-pack it onto a 12th story roof to put together a little jib crane that could be a *lot* more cost effective. Add in some modular skid rails and you're ready to get a lot of work done. Realistically, I suspect that most things up to at least 10T could be moved (as long as whatever you are moving it *over* is strong enough) with equipment that breaks down into 1-man portable components.

@joshuadallen6012 2 ай бұрын

I’ve been experimenting with this at work for a few weeks and finding ways to incorporate it. Arborists have been using the gas powered Wraptor for years, however the wraptor is strictly a means of access due to its bulk and limited function. You use it to get into the tree, set a TIP, then lower the Wraptor back out. I’ve been playing around with leaving the Z2R installed on an access line, then rigging a TIP into the access line itself above the Z2R with a Rescucender, working an area for a bit off MRS, then going back the the Z2R to advance my TIP. An arborist isn’t likely to work directly off the device, for the same reasons they wouldn’t use a Clutch or an ID. Arb multicenders need to be lightning fast, light and operable with one hand. I did however work directly off the device installing some tree support cabling. That type of work for me often involves very literal lateral movement, but repetitive up and down with tools and heavy items. The Z2R was excellent for that (especially since the drill I’m using for the device is also used for the work itself).

I definitely think this has applications in off-roading where you're not going seriously enough to make regular use of a winch, but just for getting unstuck. If you've already got a drill in your maintenance kit on you, tossing this in the back as well gives you more options. I also think this might have some applications in caving; many serious cave explorations are highly weight/volume constrained and can take hours/days to get to a given location, and this unit with a drill and a few batteries could save hours on ascending portions of a route for a possibly-worthwhile amount of weight.

As an offroader that also has a winch, I'm pretty torn about using this to pull myself out the mud with it, it's cost is close to even a cheap winch, and to use it on a vehicle you WILL need multiple pulleys, a long enough rope along with a rope strong enough. It might be worth having as a backup tool, or even something to assist after a roll over or something but pulling a 2 tonne or above stuck vehicle on most ropes that can go through this makes me think it will just snap the rope, and snapping ropes near fleshy humans isn't what I'd call a good day. If you have one and need to pull your vehicle out in an emergency sire at your own risk (DO NOT USE YOUR TOWBALL!!!). Just my 2 cents as an ex mechanic, an offroader and someone that has sadly seen what happens when recoveries go wrong.

Big fan of the Chinese HVAC climbers group. I would not describe the rig that any of the guys who worked on mine as anywhere near good enough. Most just used a ratty old rope tied to my very much not super good enough balcony railing.

Hi new here. Curious about material's and all. This is obviously a very tight tolerance excellently put together piece of gear. And i hope i dont come off wrongm. But i have adhd curiosity. What is the part of this that is so expensive. Is it finding a place to machine the parts. Is it the type of steel. The number of small parts. Is it the quality assurance level. This is legit curiosity

I have a feeling using the drill clutch will damage the gears ⚙️. Similar to an impact. Releasing and then banging back on .. seems like you're better off just feathering the drill mode and controlling speed that way.
