Buckingham Port-A-Wrap Lowering Device The Buckingham Port-A-Wrap is the industry-standard lowering device for controlled rigging in arborist work. Lowering devices like the Port-A-Wrap control the speed and rate at which heavy logs and limbs are lowered from the tree, protecting your crew, your equipment, and the property below. Before using this product, be sure to fully understand the forces involved in rigging large limbs. Available in Mini, Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes to match your rope diameter and load requirements. All versions are constructed from nickel-plated steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
