Tree-removal operations in urban and suburban settings often employ extensive use of rope-based rigging to control and manage the dismantling of large trees. These scenarios typically conclude in what is commonly referred to as a negative-rigging situation, where the load the rigging must bear “falls into the rope” from above the anchor point (such as when we work our way down a spar). This results in dynamic forces being placed on the tree and equipment that far exceed the static load of the massof the cut log. Any opportunity to mitigate these forces while still working efficiently is a bonus for us - the working arborists - and our equipment.
