The Jail Brake Lowering Device

If you missed TCI EXPO this year, then you missed out on the industry debut of the Jail Brake, which may signal the next generation of lowering devices for arborists. This device brings an innovative design to basal friction for lowering. Cast from aluminum and machined to a polished finish, the Jail Brake is designed to be lightweight but super strong. It has a 3,500-pound working load limit (WLL) with a five-to-one safety rating – so designed to be perfect for most rigging situations. Watch Seth Ramsdell demonstrate the Jail Brake during TCI EXPO 2021.

Seth Ramsdell is an arborist and tree company owner based in Toledo, Ohio, and the inventor of the Jail Brake (www.jailbrake.net).
