Product information & specifications
STEIN LD Floating Friction Device
The STEIN LD Floating Friction Device is part of the all-new Invert-A-Wrap Range — a practical, cost-effective rope friction device designed for the controlled lowering of timber and other rigged objects from height. Built for arborist rigging applications, it offers a simple, user-friendly design that helps deliver smooth, controlled friction management during dismantling and lowering operations.
Available in three sizes, the LD Floating Friction Device is suited to a range of rigging setups and rope diameters, making it a versatile option for arborists looking for a reliable lowering device with excellent usability and field practicality.
Designed for Controlled Lowering
The Invert-A-Wrap design is intended to provide dependable rope friction for lowering timber or objects from an elevated position in a safe and controlled way. Its layout allows the user to manage rigging lines efficiently while keeping the device straightforward to set up and use on site.
The device can be mounted in either orientation, giving greater flexibility depending on your rigging setup, anchor position and worksite requirements.
Compatible with the STEIN Hauler Kit
One of the key advantages of the LD Floating Friction Device is its ability to work with a STEIN Hauler Kit. This allows you to:
- Raise loads before lowering
- Assist with pre-tensioning the rigging line
This added versatility makes it a useful tool for arborists carrying out more controlled or technical rigging tasks where positioning or tension management is important.
Replaceable Fairleads for Better Rope Control
The Invert-A-Wrap is fitted with replaceable fairleads which serve two practical functions:
- Allow the rigging line to be tied off if required
- Act as redirects so the user can operate the device from a safer distance
This helps improve operational flexibility and can support safer working positions during lowering operations.
Built for Protection & Long-Term Use
For added durability and tree or structure protection, the LD Floating Friction Device includes a removable and replaceable protective rubber. This helps:
- Protect the structure the device is mounted to
- Protect the product information area
- Cover the unique serial number used for inspection traceability
This thoughtful design detail helps improve product longevity while making ongoing inspection and asset management easier.
