The Harken Wingman is a breakthrough in personal mechanical advantage systems. Engineered for versatility and ease of use, it features integrated internal progress capture, eliminating the need for prusiks and external components.
Compact and powerful, the Wingman enables efficient raising, lowering, and controlled release of loads—even under full tension. A ratcheting sheave combined with a composite handle (“wing”) allows for a fine-tuned, one-handed release under load.
At just 8 inches in overall length, the Wingman excels in confined spaces—ideal under tripods or during pick-offs—while also serving in adjustable directional setups and work positioning.
