Evolved from the widely respected \u003cstrong\u003eSTEIN RC3001\u003c\/strong\u003e, the RCW3001 builds on a proven reputation with an upgraded design that allows a \u003cstrong\u003ewinch system to be attached when required\u003c\/strong\u003e — without compromising its core lowering performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrusted by arborists around the world since the original system launched in \u003cstrong\u003e2009\u003c\/strong\u003e, the RCW3001 is engineered for demanding rigging operations where controlled lowering, efficient setup and optional lifting support are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Proven Lowering Bollard, Upgraded for More Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCW3001 is based on the highly regarded STEIN RC3001 and was upgraded to accept the \u003cstrong\u003eRCWINCH system\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a more flexible rigging solution for arborists who occasionally need to \u003cstrong\u003elift, pre-tension or reposition loads\u003c\/strong\u003e as part of dismantling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the device still functions as a highly capable \u003cstrong\u003estandalone lowering bollard\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning you can use it independently for standard rigging jobs without the winch fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf lifting capability is needed, the \u003cstrong\u003eRCWINCH can be attached in seconds without tools\u003c\/strong\u003e, and can even be added during a lowering operation if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSmart Winch Integration Without Compromising Lowering Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike some winch-style bollards, the \u003cstrong\u003eRCWINCH does not support the load during lowering\u003c\/strong\u003e. Instead, the load remains fully supported by the \u003cstrong\u003ebollard itself\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the winch is attached to the lowering line independently via a \u003cstrong\u003efriction hitch and winch line\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives the system several practical advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebollard supports the load\u003c\/strong\u003e during lowering, not the winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoads can be \u003cstrong\u003eraised or repositioned\u003c\/strong\u003e before lowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce lifted, the load can be \u003cstrong\u003etransferred back to the main rigging line\u003c\/strong\u003e smoothly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe suspended load can then be \u003cstrong\u003elowered safely and independently\u003c\/strong\u003e without interference from the winch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the RCW3001 a more flexible and efficient solution for arborists who want lifting capability without sacrificing lowering control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Serious Rigging Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RCW3001 is designed for heavy-duty arborist rigging and features a \u003cstrong\u003elarge diameter drum\u003c\/strong\u003e that can accommodate \u003cstrong\u003eworking lines up to 19mm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a \u003cstrong\u003eWorking Load Limit of up to 3000kg\u003c\/strong\u003e (subject to mounting type), making it suitable for substantial lowering operations in dismantling and sectional rigging work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drum is fitted with \u003cstrong\u003etwo sets of rope guides (fairleads)\u003c\/strong\u003e that are specially angled at \u003cstrong\u003e45 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the operator to quickly and easily \u003cstrong\u003eadd or remove wraps\u003c\/strong\u003e as needed during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical Mounting \u0026amp; Tree Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite weighing over \u003cstrong\u003e13kg\u003c\/strong\u003e (excluding the winch and mounting straps), the RCW3001 is designed to be mounted by \u003cstrong\u003eone person\u003c\/strong\u003e.
