The Notch Six Pack Has Arrived — And It's About to Level Up Your Rigging Game
The Notch Six Pack just dropped, and it's here to turn tree rigging into a smooth, controlled, and dare we say… satisfying operation.
Developed in partnership with arborist legend Terry Banyard, this rigging beast was built with real job sites in mind. If you’ve ever wished for just a little more control when lowering big chunks of tree, you’re going to want to meet the Six Pack.
So… What Exactly Is the Notch Six Pack?
Great question. In short: it’s a friction management powerhouse that mounts at the base of the tree and gives your ground crew total control over heavy loads.
With six stainless steel bollards, dual-rope capability, and over 10 unique friction settings, the Six Pack lets you fine-tune your lowering like never before. It’s like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone — you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.
What Makes It So Special?
Here’s why arborists are already calling this a game-changer:
- Double Trouble: Run two rigging ropes at once. Yes, TWO. Perfect for complex jobs or when you're juggling multiple loads.
- Friction? Nailed it: Over 10 unique friction configurations give you surgical control when lowering.
- Rope-Friendly: Thanks to the Super Friction Coating, your ropes glide smoothly without twisting, hockling, or wearing down too fast.
- Built Like a Tank: With a 1000kg WLL and 5000kg MBS, the Six Pack is more than ready for the big stuff.
- Lock It In: Exit fairleads let you lock under load — no sketchy workarounds required.
- Fast Setup: Just strap it to the tree base using the included ratchet system and you’re ready to roll.
- ANSI Z133 Compliant: Because safety isn’t optional.
Who's Terry Banyard, Anyway?
Think of Terry Banyard as the arborist world's version of a mad scientist — but instead of crazy inventions, he creates smart, practical tools that solve real problems. With years of experience up in the canopy and on the ground, Terry teamed up with Notch to develop a friction device that answers all the "what ifs" of everyday rigging.
Thanks to his field expertise, the Notch Six Pack is built by arborists, for arborists. This isn't gear made in a lab — it was born from sawdust and sweat.
What’s in the Box?
You’ll find everything you need to get started: the Notch Six Pack Lowering Device itself, a durable ratchet strap set for secure anchoring, a transport and storage case to keep your gear protected, and a detailed instruction manual (PDF included) to guide you through setup and operation. This isn’t just a piece of equipment — it’s a complete, ready-to-go rigging solution for today’s professional arborist crews.
It’s not just a box of gear — it’s a full upgrade to your rigging toolkit.
