Stein RCW3001 Lowering Bollard with Winch Kit
Since its launch in 2009 the STEIN RCW3001 has proven to be one of the most respected, sought after lowering bollards on the market, used and trusted the world over. Without compromising the integrity and features users have come to trust, the RCWINCH can be easily attached and detached during use without affecting the working line or the products performance.
Not all rigging jobs require the facility of lifting capability! This simple option now allows the operator to use the bollard independently of the winch and should a lifting process be required the winch can be attached within seconds with no tools required. The RCWINCH can also be integrated into the system during a lowering procedure should it be required.
- For rigging lines up to 19mm (3/4 inch)
- Includes ratchet handle, webbing and protection rubbers
- Top mounting strap sold separately
Unlike other Winch Style Bollards the RCWINCH does not support the load during a lowering procedure; the load is supported on the bollard as the winch is attached to the lowering line independently through a friction hitch and winch line. This allows the load to be fully supported on the bollard and not the winch. Once the load has been winched to its desired position, the full weight is then easily transferred to the main rigging line, by reversing the winch and separating the two lines. At which point the suspended load can be safely lowered, independently and unimpeded by the winch.
Although weighing in excess of 13kg excluding the winch and mounting straps it can be easily mounted by one person by utilizing the top attachment point as a suspension point and simply attaching the winch in seconds once the device is mounted.
The large diameter drum easily accommodates working lines up to 19mm and has a working load limit of up to 3000kg (subject to mounting type). The drum has two sets of rope guides (fairleads) specially angled at 45-degrees which allows the operator to quickly add or subtract wraps.
A specially designed ratchet strap with waterproof webbing securely attaches the device to the tree and can be backed up by securing an Anchor-Sling to the base anchor point. Supplied as standard with two heavy duty rubber inserts for use when tree protection is required.
The RCW-3001 is probably the most user friendly and flexible Winching Bollard on the market to date.

Winch Information
The RCWINCH is a rugged constructed brake winch designed to work in conjunction with the RCW-3001 bollard. The RCWINCH can be easily attached and detached to the RCW-3001 during use without affecting the working line or the products performance.
The automatic load-actuated brake ensures the load remains suspended if the crank handle is released and avoids an unchecked descent of the load; the load however should always be backed up on the bollard during any lifting operation. This system has a maximum rated capacity of 681kg operating on a 5.4:1 gear ratio.
The RCWINCH is supplied with a custom made 5m Winch Line.
This product will only fit the RCW-3001 and cannot be fitted to its predecessor the RC3001.
