The Port-a-Wrap from Buckingham is the go-to device for friction control when rigging out wood. Buck PORT-A-WRAPS are compact rope friction devices designed for lowering heavy objects from height in a controlled and predictable manner. The Buck Port-a-Wrap has been widely popular among the modern-day arborist; old-school arborists would lower heavy wood by wrapping the lines around nearby trees causing damage to trees and often causing accidents. With the Buck Port-A-Wrap lowering heavy wood can be controlled and done at a much faster pace while also lowering the potential for an accident, and preserving the tree from damage.
The original Buckingham Port-a-Wrap is still made in the USA.
