Frequently Asked Questions
Need help choosing arborist equipment? Here are answers to some common questions.
What is arborist equipment?
Arborist equipment includes specialised climbing, rigging and safety gear used by professional tree climbers and arborists when pruning, dismantling and maintaining trees.
What is the difference between climbing rope and rigging rope?
Climbing ropes are designed to safely support an arborist while ascending and working in a tree. Rigging ropes are designed for lowering heavy branches and timber during dismantling operations and should never be used as climbing ropes.
What are throw lines and throw weights used for?
Throw lines and throw weights help install climbing ropes by accurately placing a lightweight line over a branch before pulling the climbing rope into position.
What is a friction saver?
A friction saver protects both the climbing rope and the tree by reducing friction where the rope passes over branches, helping extend rope life and minimise damage to the tree.
Why do arborists use positioning lanyards?
Positioning lanyards help arborists maintain a secure working position while using chainsaws or pruning equipment, allowing both hands to be used safely.
Do I need a climbing harness for tree work?
Yes. Professional arborists should always use an approved climbing harness designed specifically for tree climbing and compatible with arborist climbing systems.
Do you stock genuine Petzl arborist equipment?
We stock a range of quality arborist equipment and accessories from trusted manufacturers, including selected Petzl products and other professional climbing brands where available.
Can you help me choose the right arborist equipment?
Absolutely. Whether you're an experienced arborist or expanding your climbing kit, our team can help you select equipment suited to your work and application.
