Arborist Climbing & Rigging Saddles
Professional aerial tree work requires specialized saddles for both climbing and rigging operations. Our climbing and rigging saddles collection covers both applications: lightweight climbing saddles for ascending and positioning, and heavy-duty rigging saddles with reinforced attachment points for working with rigging ropes and block systems during wood removal operations. Both types meet ANSI Z133 certification requirements for professional arborist use.
Complete your aerial work system with arborist climbing rope, harnesses and lifelines, and tree climbing accessories. Browse our full climbing and fall protection and tree climbing supplies collections for the complete range of professional arborist equipment available from CSP Forestry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rigging saddle used for?
A rigging saddle is used by the climber to attach rigging blocks, ropes, and lowering devices for controlled removal of large sections of wood during aerial tree work. They feature reinforced attachment points rated for higher loads than standard climbing saddles.
Can one saddle be used for both climbing and rigging?
Some modern arborist saddles are designed for both climbing and rigging applications with appropriate attachment points for both functions. Verify load ratings on all attachment points before using a saddle for rigging in aerial tree work.
Are your rigging saddles ANSI-certified?
Yes. We carry ANSI Z133-certified saddles for professional arborist operations. Certification is required for compliance with fall protection and aerial work safety standards in commercial tree care.
