Hold Fast XL Rigging System with 2 ropes rigging wood on jobsite

Hold Fast XL Rigging System

Sale price$2,799.95

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!
