Bigger winch. Beefier bollard. Still lightweight and compact.
The Hold Fast XL 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.
