Yes, of course. Not that specific one, which probably wouldn't fit my
~2.06" DXE masts, but I use something similar for a tram line when
raising antennas or really heavy loads.
But a tram line is a lot of work for one person working alone to set up
and take down, which is why I default to just using rope and free hand
vertical lift for anything small and light enough to manage. One climb
and done.
The main issue for me has not been my arms pulling the weight, but my
hands cramping from the gripping force required on 5/16" rope. According
to the math, 1/2" rope only has about 60% more surface area for gripping
but it should help some.
Other methods have been suggested, for example making a loop of the line
using one pulley at the tower and a ground anchor some distance out from
the tower base so the load stays away from the tower a little on the way
up. I need to try it and see if one person can set up and use that with
just one climb.
