The Harken Wingman Material Handling Haul Kit applies new design and technology to achieve more from a compact personal mechanical advantage system. The Wingman’s innovative design makes it among the first products in this category to achieve internal progress capture mechanically within the unit rather than relying on prusiks to achieve that externally. It combines a ratcheting sheave to stop the rope with a composite handle or wing the operator can open and close under load for a well-modulated ‘fine-tuned’ release. Under full load even with the sheaves pulled completely together, the system may be released quite easily--with full control using one hand on the wing and the other tending the line. The Wingman has a minimum overall length of just 8” which means more clearance under a tripod. The device is also ideal for creating adjustable directionals, and much more. It may be configured as a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system. These revolutionary features plus ball bearings within the sheaves maximize efficiency for raising and lowering loads.
