Hold Fast XL Rigging System

Bigger winch. Beefier bollard. Still lightweight and compact.

The Hold Fast XL Rigging System is built for crews who need more muscle without giving up portability. It pairs a Harken Radial 40 two-speed self-tailing winch with a fixed bollard on one steel plate, so you can lift and lower at the same time from a single device that weighs about 30 lbs.

Whether you're taking down big wood, changing out a pole, or stepping a mast, the XL gives you safe, smooth, controlled rope management, including in places heavy equipment can't reach.

Kit includes:

• 1) Hold Fast XL Rigging System
• 1) Dead eye sling (Color Varies)
• 2) Ratcheting strap
• 1) Winch Handle

Patent Pending.

Don't forget the Harken Winch Driver Bit for use with a Right Angle Drill for easier lifting!
