Good Rigging Control System. Working with cranes and helicopters to remove trees is nothing new for Kiwi tree climbers and always makes for spectacular photos and footage. But rarely do we see the use of a simple tool like the Good Rigging Control System (GRCS) although it can lift a load of 900kg. The GRCS is a self-tailing sailboat winch with a 46 to 1 mechanical advantage that has been redesigned for tree work by Mister Good from the USA.
After attending this workshop the participant will know how to use and maintain the Good Rigging Control System (GRCS) safely and efficiently.
