Tree Climbing Gear

The TH7000 is a tree climbing sit harness with a fixed swinging seat (i.e. not separate leg loops). The seat is reinforced to ensure comfort for long days in the tree.

With fully adjustable, quick release wide padded back and leg loops and an adjustable and replaceable bridge the TH7000 is popular with arboriculture instructors, and surveyors as well as tree workers looking for that extra comfort that the fixed seat affords.

Other features are listed below.

Quick release waist and leg buckles

Double sliding rings on replaceable/adjustable bridge

2 side attachment points for flip line

3 large gear loops

Extra attachment points for tool holders Individually serial numbered for inspection/tracking Complies with EN358 & EN813:2008

Please note: Due to the fixed seat design it is important that the TH7000 is set up correctly for the user. Incorrect adjustment of the bridge will result in a loss of comfort and agility.

The length of the webbing attaching the bridge to the harness can be altered to adjust centre of gravity, and different length bridges are also available for further customisation.

Made from lightweight aluminium, the TH1003 tree climbing spikes a good choice for the professional arborist or linesman.

Comfort is assured, thanks to the soft leather leg pads, laminated with natural wool based padding. Inside the padding is an adjustable shaft, so that the climbers can be adjusted for different leg lengths, and the replaceable top and bottom strap sets are constructed from a rubber coated webbing material for durability.

Suitable for tree work, or linesman work, these climbing spikes come with two sets of gaffs: 1x pair of long (tree) gaffs and 1 x pair of short (pole) gaffs.

The TH1000 is an economical climber, made from steel. The shaft of this climbing iron is shaped to fit around your boots, and slightly cranked to line up with the lower leg. With reinforced webbing upper and lower strap sets, and soft and comfortable leg pads, these climbers are a good choice when looking for budget climbing spikes. Each set of TH1000 tree climbing spikes comes complete with two sets of gaffs (long "Tree" gaffs and short "Pole" gaffs).

Triple locking action karabiner certified to EN362B. The simple oval karabiner is perhaps one of the most popular shapes amongst tree climbers. Being more symmetrical than the HMS shape (although still retaining a longer back for strength) there is an even distribution of the load, which helps with alignment of a climbing system. Weighing in at just 81 grams, the THK002 has an excellent strength/weight ratio and is finished in a smooth anodised coating. Unlike some other oval shaped karabiners on the market, the spine of our THK002 is longer, rather than thicker and so can be easily rotated through the hole of most friction devices currently in use today. With a triple locking gate action the THK002 is both safe, yet easily operated, and will not snag on ropes thanks to the key-lock nose patern. Each karabiner is both batch and serial numbered for tracking the necessary routine inspections.

This large karabiner with its ergonomic shape, is rated to 25kN MBS and has a massive 27mm gate opening. Made from hot forged aluminium and finished with corrosion resistant anodization the THK003 weighs in a just 103g, despite its larger proportions. Being slightly oversized, the THK003 is easy to operate, even with gloves on and is fitted with a smooth action triple locking gate. The basket is offset to smaller dimensions, ensuring stability under load and the opening features a key lock nose design to avoid rope snagging Certified to EN362B, each carabiner comes batch and serial numbered for traceability.

Triple locking action karabiner certified to EN362B. The THK006 is an HMS or pear shaped karabiner, with a large top section for knots and hitches (the term “HMS” comes from the German word Halbmastwurfsicherung, for a half clove hitch) and a smaller well rounded basket for self-centralising. Being slightly asymmetrical on the longitudinal axis, the THK006 has a good strength to weight ratio and fits comfortably in the hand. The triple locking gate is both safe, yet easily operated, and will not snag on ropes thanks to the key-lock nose design, and the gate opens to a full 23mm. Each karabiner is both batch and serial numbered for tracking the necessary routine inspections.

The THRG1 is an aluminium rope grab, for 9 - 13mm diameter rope. The non-aggressive cam is made from one piece of aluminium and is secured by a hex bolt and nyloc nut. A plastic coated steel wire holds the cam captive to prevent loss. Certified to EN567 – Rope Clamps, the THRG1 can also be used as a progress capture component in rigging systems. NB: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure compatibility of components in a rigging or climbing system. As with most of our tree climbing gear, we individually serial number these rope grabs, to help with inspections and compliance.

With a single piece anodised aluminium body, and a handy quick release cam, The THRG2 rope grab is a handy addition to your tree climbing kit. The non-aggressive cam is made from one piece of aluminium and is secured a steel pin with a dual action quick release mechanism. A plastic coated steel wire holds the cam captive to prevent loss. Certified to EN567 – Rope Clamps, the THRG2 can also be used as a progress capture component in rigging systems. NB: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure compatibility of components in a rigging or climbing system. As with much of our other tree climbing gear the THRG2 rope grabs are individually serial numbered for traceability.

Compact and lightweight anodised aluminium pulley, tested to 22kN minimum breaking strain.

The THPUL1 is a fixed cheek pulley and can be utilised as a redirect pulley; as part of a climbing system to tend friction knots; or in combination with a chest ascender as a rope grab.

The fixed side plates make for easy and quick attachment to a connector.

Please note: The THPUL1 is not intended as a fall arrest component.

The THCR131 is a low-stretch kernmantle rope. This means the majority of the strength is in the core of the rope, while the sheath is designed for good grip, protection and (thanks to its bright orange and black striped design) good visibility - both in the tree and on the ground.

Being a 13mm (1/2”) diameter rope, the THCR131 is designed for traditional doubled rope climbing systems.

The highly textured 16strand sheath is made from polyester and the high strength core is made from multiple twisted strands of polyamide.

The rope is finished with one specially sewn eye – low profile and neat. This method of eye termination has the advantages of spicing (small and neat) while also being suitable for machine construction, ensuring continuity in quality and strength.

NB. Being a kernmantle rope, the THCR131 can be expected to “milk” during the first few uses – especially noticeable in the longer lengths. This is normal and the rope end can be trimmed after the first few uses to keep it tidy. 

Steel wire cored flip line, incorporating a swivel carabiner on one end, with triple action locking gate. The TH1171 flip line is designed for ease for use when ascending a large stem or pole, and has a braided polyester rope sheath, and a twisted steel wire core. The 11.4mm braided outer sheath works well with a prussik or rope grab and there is an additional degree of abrasion protection afforded by the extra woven nylon protector. The TH1171 flip line is tested and certified to EN358:1999, and each flip line carries a unique serial number for identification purposes. Please note: The steel core is designed to enable the climber to 'flip' the TH1171 up a pole or stem with ease, and is NOT designed to resist chainsaw cuts. Ascending with a flip line is a skill, and should only be undertaken by trained personnel. The use of a secondary anchor point, especially during dismantling or 'blocking down' is essential.
