Official GRCS frame upgrade

[Frans]

Soon, Greg will be releasing the latest upgrade to the GRCS. The frame will have two pigtails and eliminate the side fairleads.

You saw it here first. I'll post pix when it comes in the mail

directional pull....hadnt tried the beer bottle thingy yet

 

[Frans]

Sorry I don't have more info yet.



But now I do.


The GRCS change will incorporate two re-engineered pig tails. One on each side of the device. These pig tails will eliminate the side fairleads.

Also the new pig tails will be totally robust and of a different hinge design.

I should be at the Western Chapter Annual Conference and trade show in Reno Nevada in may demoing this. Hopefully at the Bailey's booth.

Just heard from Greg. The first GRCS frame came back from the welder, x-ray machine guy, polisher, etc. and he has sent it to me.

Should be here by the end of the week. Which is good seeing as I have some ugly Madrone removals to do over a house.

Soon as I get the thing, I will post pictures.

Vendors will be selling this soon...

Your supposed to put the frozen beer in the fixed bollard. Then when the last chunking is done you pull the beer out when you take the grcs off the tree.

Jeez some people just don't know how to work stuff

 

[woodworkingboy]

Frans, is every GRCS x-rayed?

 

[rumination]

I'm curious to see the redesigned pigtail. Pictures soon, please!

 

[brendonv]

Great Frans....now mines OLD.

 

[rangerdanger]

Keep us updated on how it performs!! If we can bring in the new climber we'll definitely be thinking about putting a GRCS on the need to buy list!!

 

[squisher]

I hesitated on the GRCS and now with the dollar stretch again, I'm not even really considering it. If anyone here hears of a deal or one in Canada, please let me know.

 

[Frans]

Frans, is every GRCS x-rayed?

Greg is just working to make sure we all are getting the very best

 

[gf beranek]
