Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a work positioning system and a fall arrest system for tree climbing?
A work positioning system (like a climbing saddle with a rope) keeps you at a working position in the tree. A fall arrest system stops a free fall. In tree climbing, work positioning is primary; fall arrest applies in certain utility and industrial settings.
What rope is used for tree climbing?
Arborists use double-braid polyester or kernmantle ropes rated for climbing, typically 1/2" diameter and 150-200' length. Browse our climbing ropes for options certified to applicable ANSI Z133 and ASTM standards.
Do you carry complete climbing kits for arborists?
Yes. Browse our climbing supplies for kit options and individual components. Pair with our tree climbing accessories and chainsaw supplies for a fully equipped arborist setup.
