Hold Fast XL Rigging System
Bigger winch. Beefier bollard. Still lightweight and compact.
The Hold Fast XL Rigging System was built for arborists who need more muscle without sacrificing portability. Designed to combine the mechanical advantage of a Harken Radial 40 self-tailing winch with the strength and stability of a fixed bollard, the XL offers simultaneous lifting and lowering in one compact, rugged package.
Whether you’re tackling heavy rigging, large removals, or high-demand job sites, the XL is your go-to tool for safe, smooth, and controlled rope management.
Patent Pending.
Don't forget the Harken Winch Driver Bit for use with a Right Angle Drill for easier lifting!
