General Arborist Rope Information Rope constructions: Double-braid: Double-braid ropes have a braided cover and a braided core, which share the load equally. This construction is therefore very strong, but may have issues with milking when used without pulleys or other friction reducing devices. Double-braid lines are spliceable. 12 strand single braid: 12 strand ropes are just that, 12 strands braided together. This is a simple construction without a cover or core. Unfortunately, these lines are not spliceable. 12 strand hollow braid: Similar to the 12 strand single braid, except braided in a different pattern. With no cover or core, 12 strand hollow braid lines are very loosely braided and are easily spliced. While ideal for rigging slings and prusik lanyards because their high strength and ease with which they can be spliced, 12 strand hollow-braid lines make poor climbing and rigging lines because the loosely braided cover is susceptible to abrasion. 16 strand: 16 strand ropes consist of 16 strands braided around a core. The core in this case bears only about 5% of the load, acting primarily to keep the rope round and friction therefore more consistent. In general, 16 strand lines are slightly more abrasion resistant than 12 strands because they have a more tightly braided cover. This construction makes an ideal climbing line because it is soft and supple enough to tie friction hitches with, but is still firm and stays round under tension enabling it to perform better with those hitches. 16 strand lines are spliceable. Kernmantle: Kernmantle ropes have a very tightly braided cover and a parallel (not braided) core. In this case, only the core is load bearing, while the cover exists only to keep the core fibers bound together and protected from sunlight and abrasion. This construction is designed to work well with hardware such as ascenders and descenders because it maintains a very firm, round cross-sectional shape. This helps to keep the rope from flattening out and ensures that friction will be consistent, leading to a smoother ride. With the exception of The Fly, kernmantle lines are not spliceable.

Rope Diameters: Tree rigging: Lines are stocked from 13mm to 22mm in diameter. Larger diameters have increased strength, but also increased weight and bulk. 16mm Stable-Braid is an example of one of our more frequently sold lines. Climbing lines: 13mm (12.7mm) is the traditional diameter for climbing lines in the tree industry. Some newer lines are 11mm (11mm) and have the advantage of being lighter and working with a wider range of hardware, though they usually have lower breaking strengths than 13mm lines and may be more difficult to grip.

Rope Fibers: Polyester: This is the fiber of choice for ropes used in the tree service industry. Compared to other fibers, polyester is much more abrasion resistant and much less stretchy. Nearly all of the different lines in this catalog are made primarily from polyester. Nylon: Nylon is a slightly stronger fiber than polyester, but is also significantly stretchier, which can cause problems in both climbing and rigging systems. Objects suspended from nylon lines will slowly sink as the rope stretches under tension. In rigging systems where there will be shock loading this can be a good thing, but generally speaking in all other situations this is a bad thing. Polyolfin: Looking and feeling sort of like fishing line, polyolfin fibers are used as a lightweight filler in some lines to add bulk to the diameter without adding much weight and without compromising strength. However, Polyolfin fibers can also decrease the suppleness and pliability of a line by making it slightly stiffer and more springy. HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene): This includes fibers such as Dyneema, and Spectra. These exotic synthetic fibers are extremely strong, but are also often very smooth and slippery giving these type of lines a reduced knot holding capability. Also, because it is possible to achieve such high breaking strengths in such small diameters with these fibers, knots can cause a dramatic reduction in breaking strength in high modulus lines. Normally a knot tied in a 20,000 lb strong line is forced around a bend radius of at least ¾” (the diameter of a polyester or nylon line of that strength), but in the case of high modulus lines the bend radius caused by a knot might be as small as 10mm. Since smaller bend radii cause greater reductions in strength, this is a problem for high modulus fiber lines. Climbing vs. Rigging Lines: Climbing and rigging are two very different applications for rope in the tree service industry. In climbing, rope is used to support a climber and his or her equipment. Loads are therefore usually under 350 lbs. In rigging, rope is used to support and often to catch large branches and logs. In stark contrast to climbing, rigging loads are often around 1000 lbs or more. This difference in loads means friction is much greater in rigging systems as well. Finally, while climbing systems usually only experience a shock load in the event of a mistake on the part of a climber, rigging systems are regularly shock loaded on purpose. What all this means is that climbing and rigging lines should be two different ropes. It is highly dangerous to use one rope as both climbing and rigging line.

A note about working load limits (WLL): The design factor of a product expresses the difference between it’s breaking strength and it’s WLL. This difference is the safety factor. The standard design factor in the tree service industry is 10:1, meaning that the working load limit is 1/10th of the breaking strength. If a rope has a breaking strength of 10,000 lbs, it therefore has a WLL of 1000 lbs. This means that you should not attach anything to this rope weighing more than 1000 lbs. In doing so, you account for things like potential shock loading and breaking strength loss over time. Bend radius: Whenever rope is forced around a bend radius (as in a knot), it’s strength is reduced; the tighter the bend, the greater the reduction in strength. This is because rope is only capable of doing work when it is under tension. Around the outside of a bend, rope is still under tension and is capable of supporting a load. Around the inside of a bend however, rope is actually under compression and is therefore not able to help support the load. This is why at any bend, only part of the rope is able to support the load and the strength at that point is reduced. The tighter the bend radius is, the worse this problem gets. This is why thimbles and pulley sheaves are often used to help keep bend radii large in knots and rigging. Milking (rigging): In rigging systems, milking is what happens when a double-braid rope is used in a natural crotch scenario without a false crotch. This type of rope construction has a cover and a core that share the load equally, but when run straight over the bark using a naturally existing crotch of the tree to suspend the rope from, the friction at that crotch is placed on the cover alone. Since the load is equally on the cover and the core but the friction is not, the load tends to slowly pull the core out of the cover. While this does not ruin the rope, it can force the user to cut off the last few inches from each end in order to equalize the ends, thereby shortening the rope every time it is used in this manner. Milking (climbing): In climbing systems, milking is what happens when a rope has slightly more cover than core. Any excess cover tends to slide off one end of the rope and/or bunch up at one point before sliding off the end. The friction hitches used in the Doubled Rope Technique are usually what cause this excess to be forced towards one end or the other. This is not due to a defect in the rope, but is rather just a necessary part of breaking in certain kinds of climbing line. Usually, once milking has occurred and the cover and core have equalized, this will be finished and not noticed again on that particular line.

Rope Life: In the tree service industry there is no way to predict how long ropes will last. Things like shock loading and abrasion take a toll over time, and as a result it is impossible to know what the strength of a used rope is. When trying to decide how often to replace your lines, use your own best judgment and base your decision on frequent and careful inspections of the line. Go over it foot by foot, looking for places where abrasion, heat, or some other force may have nicked a few strands or glazed the surface. The only rule that exists is to replace your lines before they break, and inspections are the only way to do this.

Arborist Climbing Line

ATP stocks a wide range of climbing lines from the extremely strong Arbormaster to the super lightweight Velocity and Blaze. Whatever line you use, it is important that it complies with the ANSI standards for Arboriculture. (See below.) These standards were developed with the input of professionals in tree care to reflect the best and safest work practices. All climbing lines sold by ATP meet these standards.

ANSI Z133.1-2006 Arborist Climbing Line Standard: “Arborist climbing lines shall have a minimum diameter of ½ inch (12.7 mm) and be constructed from a synthetic fiber, with a minimum breaking strength of 5,400 pounds (24.02 kilo newtons [kN]) when new. Maximum working elongation shall not exceed 7 percent at a load of 540 pounds (2.402 [kN]). Arborist climbing lines shall be identified by the manufacturer as suitable for tree climbing. EXCEPTION: In arboriculture operations not subject to regulations that supersede Z133.1, a line of not less than 7/16 (11mm) may be used, provided the employer can demonstrate it does not create a safety hazard for the arborist and the arborist has been instructed in its use. The strength and elongation ratings of the line selected shall meet or exceed that of ½ inch (12.7mm) arborist climbing line.”

Spliced Eyes & Splicing Services Why get a spliced eye? Compared to a tied eye, a spliced eye has several benefits: • Spliced eyes are stronger. Whereas a knot causes a reduction in the rope’s strength , a spliced eye maintains that strength. • Spliced eyes are faster. Tying and untying knots several times per day takes time. Spliced eyes are already ready to go. • Spliced eyes are safer. If there is no knot to tie, then there is no knot that can be tied incorrectly. How to order a spliced eye 1. Choose Rope: Choose any of the spliceable ropes in our catalog in the desired length. (Remember that splicing will reduce overall length.) 2. Choose Dimensions: Traditionally, spliced eye climbing lines have come with a standard 5 13mm eye that can be girth-hitched onto a carabiner. This spreads the load out over the 2 legs of the hitch and is the strongest option. Recently however, the tight eye has also become popular, in which the eye is made just large enough to slide a carabiner into, which helps prevent the carabiner from rotating and getting side-loaded. If you want something else, just tell us what the inside diameter (pull-to-pull) should be, and we can make it. 3. Choose One or Two Eyes: Your rope can have a spliced eye on one end or both ends. A spliced eye on both ends extends rope life by allowing the ends to be switched periodically to distribute wear more evenly. However, not all ropes work well with a spliced eye each end. Double-braid ropes often experience some milking as excess cover slides off the core at one end. Having a spliced eye at each end can cause problems by forcing any excess cover to bunch up next to the eye. In such cases, it is usually best to wait to get the second eye spliced until after milking has occurred. 4. Choose Hardware (If Any): Sometimes the eye is spliced around a rope thimble or other piece of hardware such as a captive eye carabiner or rope snap. Rope thimbles help to extend wear life by protecting the inside of the eye from friction and by increasing the bend radius the rope is forced around. They can be made from either plastic (for light loads such as a climber) or metal (for heavy loads such as a log), and be shaped either round with a split (for captive eye hardware that can’t be opened such as rope snaps) or solid teardrop (for regular carabiners that can be opened). If you would like a piece of hardware spliced onto your rope, simply include the product code of the item to be spliced and it will be added at its catalog price. Mark all your options on a separate line on your order form, remember to add the price of the rope, any hardware, and the splice.

ATP offers several ropes with pre-spliced eyes. We can also add one or more splices to any spliceable rope product.

ATP Rope Climbing Starter Kits ATP rope climbing kits are a great way to get started climbing trees. They include the equipment needed to climb a tree without spurs, which is essential when the tree being climbed should not be damaged. This year we have revised our climbing kits to offer you more choices of climbing gear and techniques, while saving you money. Choose one of our climbing starter kits and get going right away, or add one of the kit upgrades for a wider range of climbing techniques.

Starter Rope Climbing Kit Essentials

The kit contains the bare essentials necessary to get into a tree without using spurs. This kit is intended to be used in the doubled rope technique, and contains the necessary equipment to connect the climbing line to the saddle in the split tail method using either the Blake’s Hitch or the French Prusik (aka the VT). This enables the climber to use the body thrust technique as described in the included copy of The Tree Climber’s Companion. While this technique is quite physically demanding, it requires less equipment than other techniques and is less expensive. The Basic starter kit provides the necessary equipment with the lowest possible price tag. The equipment in this kit is not as comfortable or versatile as that in the Deluxe and Ultra-Light kits, but and meets the same safety standards. The Deluxe starter kit provides a large step up in comfort and durability. The equipment for this kit is some of the most popular used by professionals, and was selected to provide the most comfortable climbing experience possible. The Ultra Light starter shaves off every ounce possible for the lightest climbing kit we could put together.

Tree Climber’s Companion illustration showing body thrust technique.

Secured Footlock Upgrade

SRT Upgrade

This upgrade to the rope climbing starter kits enables the user to climb in the Single Rope Technique (SRT) using ascenders. This is the easiest rope climbing technique and is usually the preferred technique for long ascents. There are several ways in which the included equipment can be connected and used. In any case however, the user simply shifts weight from one ascender to the other, advancing the ascender that has no weight on it, thereby making the process of climbing rope just like climbing a ladder. KIT28 HK$1288

This upgrade to any of the three rope climbing starter kits enables the user to climb in the secured footlock technique. Although still physically demanding, this technique is more energy efficient for longer ascents than the body thrust method.

Rope climbing kits important information

Our rope climbing kits do not come with instructions. The skills and techniques required to use these kits are impossible to teach safely and effectively in a few pages of typewritten material. It is the user’s responsibility to gain adequate instruction in the use of all climbing equipment. If you are interested in learning how to use this equipment, we sell books and videos on the topic. The Arbormaster Training Series I DVD on climbing techniques gives excellent coverage of the subject. In order to help the user attain a basic understanding of the skills and knots required to use these kits, we include a copy of The Tree Climber’s Companion with every starter kit but this is not intended to be the sole source of instruction. Climb safely.

Safety Tip: Helmets should be worn whenever climbing or working at height. A helmet is not included in our climbing kits, as many people prefer to buy them separately.

SPLIT TAIL CLIMBING

Split Tails

Split Tail Kits These kits contain everything you need to convert to the split tail climbing technique in one price saving package. The split tail method has several advantages over traditional fixed tail systems. Split tail climbing prevents the user from having to cut off pieces of the climbing line that have been damaged by the friction hitch, as the split tail takes the wear and tear. Split tail climbing makes re-routing around branches easier while climbing, allows the use of advanced friction hitches and makes slack tending easier with when a micro-pulley is used in the system. ATP offers two kits based on the most popular friction hitches: the French Prusik/Valdotain Tress (VT) and the Blake’s Hitch/Tautline.

Split Tail Kit #1: French Prusik/VT

BIG SHOT AND THROWLINE

Order by Email: order@arbortools.hk

Big Shot Line Launcher The Big Shot Line Launcher is the easiest way to get your line into the tree. The Big Shot works like a giant slingshot to launch lines up to 100 feet. With a little practice the Big Shot delivers great accuracy and height, and can save a lot of time spent trying to install a line. The Big Shot must be mounted on an 8’ pole to work properly. ATP sells an 8’ kit and a kit with two 4’ poles that snap together to form a single 8’ pole. This kit is less expensive to ship and easier to transport. ATP recommends using the bullet style throw weights with the big shot and Zing-It or Fling-It throw line for best results. The Big Shot with 8’ pole is oversized and additional shipping applies.

ASCENDERS

Mechanical Ascenders

Petzl Ascension

Mechanical ascenders are greatly helpful devices for entering the tree in a non-damaging way by ascending a climbing line installed in the tree. The cams in an ascender unit capture progress as the user climbs, making the ascent easier, safer, and faster. Once you get up there, a figure 8 or one of the mechanical descenders will make coming down a lot easier and safer.

Petzl Pantin Foot Ascender

Ascender Foot Strap

Used in conjunction with a handled ascender this device can make rope climbing much easier and less tiring. The climber attaches it to the ankle and stands on the Dyneema reinforced foot strap. The cam engages the rope, allowing the climber to effortlessly maintain position. The toothed cam is a trigger cam with a cleaning slot so that it works even on dirty rope. Quick and easy to install, and reduces the amount of effort needed to climb. Toothed cam. 13mm capacity.

Reinforced nylon webbing strap attaches to an ascender with quick link. (Included.) These make a great addition to an ascender climbing system. See the Tree Climber’s Companion for information on using ascenders & slings. Sold individually.

Footstrap

Designed as an aid for climbing in the single rope technique, the chest roller helps by keeping the climber’s torso connected to the rope. This enables the climber to recline comfortably without having to exert the stomach and arm muscles to keep the upper body close to the rope. The chest roller harness is required in order to wear the chest roller. It is made of strong nylon webbing and has lots of padding and surface area to be soft and comfortable around the armpits and against the back.

ASCENDERS

CMI Ultrascenders

Lockjack

Chrome-moly steel ascenders are high strength, corrosion resistant, and have a lifetime wear guarantee on the toothed cams. Two sizes available; the small works great, but the long has extra room to fit your hands more comfortably and twin holes for attaching foot loops. Sold in pairs. Toothed cam. 13mm capacity.

Small Pair Long Pair

The Lockjack is the only piece of hardware on the market that can totally replace the friction hitches used on climbing lines. The Lockjack works as both an ascender and as a descender for self-belay in the doubled rope technique (DdRT). The advantage of the Lockjack is that friction is applied to the rope with a smooth aluminum surface which causes less friction while climbing for an effortless advance, and a smoother more easily controlled descent. While climbing, the Lockjack tends slack by itself as the weight of rope below the climber pulls the line through the device. Works with 13mm rope. Designed for use with Petzl Am’D.

CMI Foot Ascender

Spiderjack

Rope climbing is made easier by the CMI Foot Ascender. The addition of this bootmounted device maintains tension on the rope, allowing for easier advancement of the main ascender, and promotes better use of body mechanics by keeping your body in an upright position. The body is crafted from anodized aluminum, and the hard coated cams carry CMI’s exclusive wearout guarantee, the same as our popular Ultrascenders ascenders. Toothed cam. 13mm capacity.

The newest innovation from ART (Advanced Rope Techniques), the Spiderjack is an improvement of the popular Lockjack. By allowing slack in the line above to fall through the device with even less friction, the Spiderjack makes ascents in the doubled rope technique even easier. In addition, the Spiderjack also allows finer control over friction during descents, making tasks such as limb walking even easier by permitting the user to vary friction more subtly than before. Smooth friction surface. 11mm-13mm capacity.

DESCENDERS

Descenders and Figure 8s

Standard Figure 8 Standard aluminum 8. Compact and lightweight. Colors may vary.

Figure 8s are the traditional way to apply friction to a line for self-belay or the belay of another on single or doubled line. The standard 8 has no ears and is lightweight and compact. The figure 8 with ears and the Rescue 8 all have “ears” to prevent the rope from accidentally becoming girth-hitched. A new favorite of many climbers is the Petzl Pirana because of its unique design and ability to precisely control the friction applied. Installation of the Pirana differs from standard 8s, so careful review of manufacturer’s instructions is advised. Mechanical descenders such as the Gri Gri and I’D are also becoming very popular because of their ease of use and mechanical safety features. They are more expensive than figure 8s, but many climbers feel they are worth the extra investment. The picture to the right shows a figure 8 backed up with a prusik, which is a way of making descending safer.

ASC202

Gri Gri

Aluminum Rescue 8

This is an easy to use self-braking device used widely by climbers of all types. Handle controls the movement of the rope through the cam; releasing the handle brakes the device on the rope and stops the climber’s descent. Can be combined with a foot loop and handled rope clamp for ascending without changing the position of the Gri Gri. The safety features of the Gri Gri make it one of the most widely used belay devices in the world. Instructions included. 11mm capacity.

Aluminum rescue 8 with bent ears for advanced descending/ positioning techniques. Colors may vary.

ASC205

HK$652

ASC201

I’D Descender

This is a neat device for arborists. Self-braking descender and belay device for single rope replaces a figure 8 or friction knot. Pulling the handle allows the rope to move through in a controlled fashion and allows the climber to rappel down the tree, controlling the friction by altering the grip on the free end, much like with a figure 8. Releasing the handle engages the cam and stops descent. A great safety feature! If you take your hands off, the I’D locks onto the rope. An anti-panic feature is included that locks the cam on the rope if the user pulls the handle too hard; instead of initiating free-fall, the device locks down. The I’D can also be secured in place, eliminating the need to “tie-off ” the device. Correct installation of the rope is made easier by swinging front plate and engraved diagram showing proper use. Each unit is individually tested by Petzl to ensure proper function.. 2 sizes available. Small 11mm capacity. Large 13mm capacity.

Carabiners which are to be used for life support must be “positive-locking” which means that it requires 3 motions to open the gate. These are usually to push the sleeve up or down , twist the sleeve, and finally pull the gate inward. Some carabiners replace the first step with the pressing of a button. Life support carabiners must also have a breaking strength of at least 5,000 lbs. ATP stocks a variety of carabiners that meet this standard.

ISC Mongoose Carabiner

This large aluminum carabiner has a great shape that fits easily in the hand and a wide opening. The Quadlock is much like the traditional 3 stage twist locking mechanisms except that it adds a fourth movement to make it even safer. • • • • • •

LOCKING CARABINERS

Breaking Strength 6,750 lbs. Dimensions 4 7/8” x 3 1/2” Gate Opening 1” Aluminum Key Lock Gate Weighs 4 oz.

ISC has pioneered 2 new kinds of carabiner locking mechanisms that raise the standard for safety in rope access; the Springlock and Quadlock. Both are intended to be even safer than the current 3 stage twist-lock mechanism. The Springlock is based upon two spring loaded sleeves on the gate. In order to open, each sleeve must be moved in a direction opposite to the other, so that no matter how a rope runs across it is unable to move both sleeves and the gate stays closed. This mechanism also increases the sideloaded strength rating of the carabiner because the sleeves completely encase the gate hinge. The Quadlock is much like the traditional 3 stage twist locking mechanisms except that it adds a fourth movement to make it even safer.

ARBORIST SADDLES

Choosing a Tree Climbing Saddle Saddle quality can be the biggest factor in how comfortably a tree job gets done. When buying a new saddle it is important to choose one that is going to provide comfort and work with your personal climbing techniques. We’ve listed some general tips for choosing a saddle, but please call us if you have questions not answered here. A Butt Strap holds your weight across your rear like sitting on the seat of a swing. This is more comfortable than leg loops when hanging from the climbing line for extended periods of time, but restricts your freedom of movement while climbing. Some saddles come with a stiff batten seat, which is a butt strap reinforced with a fiberglass board. This tends to keep the butt strap from pinching the legs together and is even more comfortable to hang in.

Leg Loops grant the wearer greater agility and freedom of movement, but place the weight across the back of the legs which can be less comfortable if the job requires extended periods of suspension.

Floating Dee Rings allow the climber to turn and face away from the tie-in point without having the rope pull around the body by letting the attachment point on the saddle shift to the side. This is particularly useful when limb-walking.

Fixed Dee Rings are preferred by some climbers. Fixed dees are sewn into position and will not move about as your angle of pull on the climbing line changes. Some newer saddles do away with dee rings altogether, using reinforced loops or sliding bridges to achieve the same effect without the weight and bulk of metal dees.

One versus. Two Dee rings - Saddles with a single dee can help to reduce confusion when using two or more climbing lines, but can also become clogged up with hardware when double crotching or climbing with the split-tail climbing method, but will be marginally lighter than more versatile, two dee ring saddles. Many newer saddles forego dee rings all together for multiple webbing attachment points. This reduces weight and allows maximum versatility.

Back support is essential. Spur climbing especially puts a lot of pressure across the back. The lower back pad should be tall and thick like a weight lifting belt. This will support the lumbar vertebrae and lower back muscles when climbing. Weight can be a factor in choosing a saddle. The newest saddles are eliminating bulky dees, and heavy materials in favor of lightweight padding and construction. This reduces the load you are carrying in the tree, especially when combined with lightweight ropes or spurs.

Bucklite Titanium Spurs

Spur Set with Cast Pads The Bucklite Titanium climbers combined with Cast Aluminum pads creates the ultimate lightweight climber set. The cast aluminum pads are lightweight and completely rigid and lined with thick foam padding. This eliminates digging or rubbing from the spur shank against the leg. Climbers around here call the Cast Aluminum pads “Cadillac Pads” because of their high-end comfort, and we think you’ll agree. The cast pads are aluminum, which means they will not rust and will last years. The foam inserts are easily replaceable. You won’t find a lighter, more comfortable and durable spur set.

Buckingham has manufactured spurs for over 100 years. Bucklite spurs are our best-selling lightweight spur: a pair of titanium spurs weighs only 2.4 lbs., not including the weight of the straps and pads. These lightweight climbers decrease the weight of your climbing equipment which increases comfort and reduces fatigue. Maximize your efficiency and focus your energy on your work, not carrying heavy gear. Available with 2 ¾” tree gaffs or 1 ¾” pole gaffs.

Sharpening Gaffs Gaffs can be sharpened several times before needing to be replaced. Sharpening your gaffs can save money on replacements if done correctly. Care should be taken and manufacturer instructions should be followed to avoid misshaping the gaff while sharpening. The gaff should maintain a chisel point; not become needle-like. If the gaff is improperly sharpened, it will increase the chances of a mishap while climbing. Frequency of sharpening depends on use. We stock replacement gaffs for every brand of spur we carry, in case you do not have the time to sharpen them yourself.

ATP Spur Climbing Starter Kits Our spur climbing starter kits contain everything necessary to spur climb a tree in one price saving package. Due to the harmful effects of this climbing technique to the tree, spur climbing should only be employed when the tree is being removed.

Starter Spur Climbing Kit Essentials ATP spur climbing kits contain the bare essentials necessary to climb a tree with spurs. The kits are intended to help climbers get the necessary equipment all at once and save money. There are several kit upgrades which are available to go beyond the basics of spur climbing up a tree. These upgrades make climbing and descending safer and easier. The Basic starter kit is intended to provide the lowest possible price tag and includes the least expensive components available. While these items may not be as comfortable as others, they are equally safe and strong. The Deluxe starter kit is intended to be the most comfortable and user friendly kit we could provide. The Ultra Light starter kit is intended to be the lightest weight group of equipment we could assemble. ANSI Z133.1.6.3.8: “Arborists shall use a second point of attachment (for example, lanyard or double crotched climbing line) when operating a chain saw in a tree….” This rule exists for a good reason: if you cut your tie-in by accident, you need to have a back-up. In order to help comply with this rule, we offer 2 optional upgrades to our spur climbing starter kits.

Climbing Line Upgrade The climbing line upgrade gives the user a rope and split tail assembly in addition to the flipline that comes in the starter kit. This enables the user to maintain two points of connection to the tree while cutting and bypass obstacles such as branches while spur climbing without ever having to be untied. Because this upgrade comes with a split tail assembly for the rope, the rope can be used as a second flipline or as a climbing line. When used as a climbing line, the user has the capability to swing out away from the trunk and also to rappel down to the ground in case of an emergency. Contains 150’ Arbormaster Blue Streak, CMI micro pulley, large D auto locking carabiner, split tail, and small brass swivel snap. KIT26

HK$1,470

Second Flipline Upgrade

The second flipline upgrade gives the user another flipline in addition to the one that comes in the starter kit. This enables the user to maintain two points of connection to the tree while cutting and bypass obstacles such as branches while spur climbing without ever having to be untied. However, this upgrade does not enable the user to rappel to the ground in the event of an emergency Option 1: 5’ - 9’ Double-braid Flipline with Prusik Adjustment This flipline adjusts with a built-in prusik. No steel-core. Light and inexpensive, this is a good option for a secondary tie-in. FLI216

Spur Climbing Kit General Info Our spur climbing kits do not come with instructions. The skills and techniques required to use these kits are impossible to teach safely and effectively in a few pages of typewritten material. It is the user’s responsibility to gain adequate instruction in the use of all climbing equipment. If you are interested in learning how to use this equipment, we sell books and videos on the topic. The Basic Training for Tree Climbers DVD gives excellent coverage of the subject. In order to help the user attain a basic understanding of the skills and knots required to use these kits, we include a copy of The Tree Climber’s Companion with every starter kit but this is not intended to be the sole source of instruction.

Safety Tip: Helmets should be worn whenever climbing or working at height. A helmet is not included in our climbing kits, as many people prefer to buy them separately. If you need to add a helmet to your climbing gear, please check out safety equipment section.

ATP’s spur climbing packages save you money on great gear that will have you climbing in comfort. Our Basic Spur Climbing Kit is the best value spur climbing kit on the market. No other package gets you this quality of equipment at this price. A lot of beginning tree climbers make the mistake of settling for the cheapest equipment possible.

SPUR CLIMBING BOOTS

Wesco Highliner Spur Climbing Boots Wesco has been making boots since 1918, and they put years of experience into the 155 steps it takes to complete a single pair of Wesco boots. From the solid brass studs of the lace eyelets to the full leather insole and tough Vibram traction, every inch of a Wesco boot is marked by the quality they built their name on. We really believe that these are the best boots in the business. In fact, you’ll see half the crew at ATP wearing a pair of Wescos whether they climb trees or not! Wesco boots are built at the factory in Scapoose, Oregon. The Highliner is built just for the climber, with an extra heavy steel shank for support on the gaff, a steel side plate (in 430 sole only) and recessed metal heel breastplate (protects the boot from wear from climbing spurs.) The tall sides protect your leg from the spur and the insole is cushioned with extra leather for increased comfort. The folks at Wesco realize that when you are operating a saw in the tree, comfort is about more than how your feet feel, it’s also about safety. The Highliners are designed to reduce as much fatigue, discomfort, and wear as possible so that your mind is 100% focused on your work and not your aching feet. The best boot for those who work in trees and poles. Available in 16” or 10” tall sides, and with a 430 medium traction or a 100 Vibram heavy traction sole. This boot is stocked in sizes 8 - 13 in D width with a non-steel toe. CLO101

Available in regular (standard), lace-to-toe (special order), or steel toe (special order.) These boots come standard with 100 Vibram heavy traction soles, heavy-duty stitching, brass eyelets, and are in our opinion the best constructed work boots in the world.

FLIPLINE ADJUSTERS

Petzl Micro & Macrograb

Mechanical Adjusters Easier & Safer to Use

These mechanical flipline adjusters are great devices for adjusting the length of a flipline. They require only one hand to adjust, unlike a prusik knot, and are more durable and less likely to be damaged or cut during climbing. Mechanical adjusters connect directly to the flipline and must be secured to the saddle dee ring with a carabiner or other device. An auto locking carabiner is the recommended means of attachment.

Our most popular flipline adjusters have an anodized aluminum body, cable spring to tension the ribbed cam, and are easy to install with included nylock nut. The incredible ease of use and repair on this unit make this very popular. Two sizes available- 13mm capacity and 16mm - 19mm capacity. Repair kits containing replacement springs, nuts, screws and allen wrenches available for each unit.

Amsteel Blue Winch Lines ATP stocks winch lines made from 150” of Amsteel Blue with an eye spliced around a Blueline thimble. The Blueline thimble provides an attachment point that will withstand the loads this rope is capable of dealing with. Amsteel Blue is a special, high-strength line developed by Samson specifically to replace wire cable in winches. Amsteel Blue has many advantages; it is light but as strong as cable, easily spliceable, doesn’t snarl and barb like wire cable, and is much easier to handle. Tubular nylon webbing is added to protect the rope at the eye, and a 10” moveable sleeve of webbing provides an easy way to protect the rope at any point along it’s length. This is the perfect, lightweight tow-line for your winch. ATP stocks pre-spliced winchlines in 150’ sections made from 8mm Amsteel Blue or 10mm Amsteel Blue. As always, we are happy to make a custom product for you, and we have made custom tow-lines and winch lines for tree businesses, military units, and ATV owners. Give us a call if we can make a special winch line for you.

Tree Support System

1. The cobra allows for natural crown movement. 2. The dynamic cobra crown bracing gives trees room for movement, which allows them to feel weak points and compensate for them. 3. The specific design of cobra allows the crown-bracing system to grow with the increase in diameter of the tree. 4. cobra can be easily inspected from the ground and the year of installation can be quickly determined by means of the colored end caps. 5. The black cobra hollow rope is made up of polypropylene monofilaments and is the rope fiber that is best suited for a long-term use in trees. The degradation of strength is less than 2 % per year and allows a service life of 12 years of the cobra crown bracing system. 6. cobra crown bracing can be easily installed on the tree without any additional tools.

RIGGING ROPES

Samson Stable Braid Rigging Rope Stable Braid is one of our best rigging lines. The Double-braid construction makes it exceptionally strong and low-stretch. Samthane™ coating on the surface protects the rope from abrasion. Stable Braid works best when run through a block in a false crotch rigging system, When used with a proper block, Stable Braid runs smoothly and allows the user to lower down large chunks. When used without a block in natural crotch rigging where the rope is in direct contact with the tree bark, Stable Braid can experience ‘milking’, which is where the core of the rope ‘milks’ out the end. This is because of the Double-braid construction of the rope, and can be avoided by using an appropriate block. Stable Braid is spliceable, and can be used to make high-strength lanyards and other products. Stable Braid is such a reliable rope that we have included it in our pre-made False Crotch Rigging Kits.

ARBORIST CLIMBING & RIGGING LINES 3 and 4-Strand The simplest type of rope is formed by twisting fiber into a strand and then 3 or 4 strands into a rope. Its conversion efficiency is relatively low since this construction technique is the hardest on fiber.

3股繩：由3股細繩以螺旋方式搓捻而成的繩

Single Braid This construction leaves a void in the center and utilizes strand counts of 8, 12, or 16. The hollow area is instrumental in the easy splice procedure. Hollow braids are non-rotating and are an extremely efficient way to utilize fiber.

12股繩：樹藝師用的繩，由12股細繩以編織的方式製成，大部分沒有繩芯。12股繩有緊密編織和鬆散編織兩類。前者難以捻接繩頭，故多用於爬樹及設置繩索具系統；後者編織較鬆且沒有繩芯，可用作捻接繩頭，常用作吊索 16股繩：樹藝師用的繩，由16股細繩編織而成。以編織結構的外層，而非繩芯來負重

Kernmantle A German word meaning a core (kern) braided over with a sheath (mantle). Kernmantle’s design can vary in core or sheath design. Two major styles: dynamic for fall arrest and static for controlled descent.

Volume Reduction

Pulled Strand

Rope displaying 25% strand volume reduction from abrasion - rope should be retired from service. Note: Amount of volume reduction that indicates retirement depends on rope construction. Refer to “check list” at left.

Rope displays a snagged strand. If the strand can be worked back into the rope, no need to retire. If not, this indicates a retirement point.

肯曼特繩: 有外覆蓋層和繩芯的繩，繩芯的構造並不是編織出來，而是由纖維螺旋狀搓捻而成

Double Braid This is really two separate ropes in one. The core, which is a single raid, is overbraided with a sleeve. This construction allows maximum flexibility options to utilize the same or dissimilar fibers to engineer a rope suited to particular applications. This construction entirely shields one of the two rope elements from abrasion.

24股繩：樹藝師用的繩，由24股細繩編織而成，具備編織結構的外層。有雙層編織和肯曼特繩兩種

Rope Inspection Checklist Original rope bulk reduced by abrasion: • Double braid* cover by 50% • Twelve‐strand braid by 25% • Eight‐strand plait by 25% • Three‐strand by 10% Fiber strands cut: • Double braid* by three or more adjacent strands cut • Twelve‐strand braid by two or more adjacent strands cut • Eight‐strand plait by one or more adjacent strands cut • Three‐strand by one or more adjacent strands cut Diameter inconsistency: • Localized diameter reduction • Flat areas • Lumps and bumps in rope Glossy or glazed fiber: • Localized or extended areas Inconsistency of texture: • Localized or extended areas of stiffness Discoloration: • Localized or extended areas caused by chemical contamination *Refers to double braids that have both core and cover strength members.

Cut Strands

Melting or Glazing

Rope displays two adjacent cut strands. This rope should either be retired or the cut section should be removed. If possible, re-splice.

Damage depicted below caused by excessive heat, which melted and fused the fibers. This area will be extremely stiff. Unlike fiber compression, melting damage cannot be mitigated by flexing the rope. Melted areas must be cut out and rope respliced or the rope must be retired.

General Information on Tree Rigging Natural Crotch Rigging - This is where a naturally existing crotch of the tree is used to suspend the rope while lowering branches or logs to the ground with a rope that runs straight over the bark. The benefits of this system are that it requires nothing more than a rope to do it. Because of its simplicity, it is usually the preferred method for beginners. However, there are several down sides to this system as well. Because of the friction placed on the rope, this type of rigging method results in much shorter wear life for rope forcing the user to replace lines much more often. The choice of rigging points is also limited as you have to choose from a limited number of crotches the tree has to offer; sometimes the only crotch strong enough to rig out of may be on the wrong side of the trunk. This rigging method also tempts the climber to leave stubs when they cut branches, which can be dangerous in the event of a slight fall because the climber can then become impaled on those stubs. False Crotch Rigging - This is where a block or pulley is installed with a rigging sling to form a suspension point for lowering branches or logs to the ground. There are many benefits to this rigging system. Because friction at the suspension point is nearly eliminated, rope life is greatly extended. Because the choice of suspension points is not limited to naturally existing crotches, the climber is able to position the block or pulley nearly anywhere in order to gain maximum advantage. This type of rigging method also usually enables the climber to lower down much larger pieces by choosing optimal rigging points, thereby getting the tree on the ground more quickly and the job done sooner. This method is also safer for the climber because cuts can be made flush in order to avoid leaving potentially dangerous stubs. However, false crotch rigging is more complex because it requires more equipment, and so can be daunting to the beginner. Shock loading - There are many applications in the tree service industry that lead to shock loading of rigging systems. Lowering tops and sections of the trunk commonly results in a shock loaded rigging system. When the piece you are lowering free falls for a short distance before being caught by the rigging system, it applies much more force to the system than it’s own weight. Often, the force applied will be several times its weight. It is extremely important to remember that the farther a piece The Rigger’s Bible free falls before being caught, the more force it will exert and the greater the chances are The Rigger’s Bible is a general reference guide for that some component of the rigging system will fail. riggers and crane operators. Although it was written with the construction industry in mind, the concepts and data it discusses are still pertinent to the tree service industry Compounding of Forces During Rigging - Picture a load susbecause of the similarity between the applications. Both pended from a rope in a tree. The load weighs 500 lbs. In order to keep that load tree and construction riggers commonly employ the use suspended in the air, an equal amount of force must be exerted on the other end of of cranes, mechanical advantage, and similar working loads the rope. This means there are two legs of rope both pulling down on the suspenin their rigging systems. Because the principles of physics it sion point with a force of 500 lbs, providing a combined force of 1000 on that point. discusses are universal, this book is an excellent resource The suspension point will always be holding twice as much weight as the rope. for anybody who does heavy rigging.

Arborist Block vs. Pulley What’s The Difference? There are dozens of pulleys and blocks available for the use of arborists today. However not all are created to the same specifications, and there are many applications which will put high demand on the hardware and for which only certain blocks should be used. While the terms “block” and “pulley” are largely interchangeable, we have divided them into two main groups for clarity: (1) Arborist Blocks (2) Pulleys Arborist blocks are built to sustain shock loading, a situation where the load free-falls momentarily before being caught by the block. This places far more force on the hardware than normal lowering, therefore only arborist blocks should be used in such situations. Arborist blocks have widened cheek plates to protect the rigging line from abrasion. Arborist blocks also have an upper sheave to safely attach a rigging sling. Pulleys are excellent tools for lowering static loads. They are not manufactured to handle shock loading and for these reason are often cheaper than arborist blocks. The relatively narrow cheek plates on a pulley may expose the rope to abrasion, so care should be taking that the line does not rub against the tree when rigging with a pulley. Most pulleys have carabiner holes in the upper body rather than an upper sheave, and so the rigging sling can not be tied directly to the pulley, and a shackle or clevis is necessary for safe operation. Other factors to consider when choosing a block or pulley are: Rope Diameter Capacity- Blocks may safely used with rope sizes up to the max. diameter capacity. Sheave Diameter- The wider the sheave diameter, the less it will reduce to breaking strength of the rope or sling. Working Load Limit (WLL)- Working Load Limit is the maximum weight the block is intended to handle. The percentage of breaking strength that constitutes the WLL is different from one manufacturer to another, but is generally 20 - 25%. Breaking Strength (Brk Str)- This is the weight at which the device fails under test conditions. Bearing vs. Bushing - Bearings are more expensive than bushings, but are more efficient and are sealed against dirt and sawdust. In practical terms, they have identical strength properties.

If the sling becomes damaged or worn it can be repaired by replacing individual links. K-Links slings are also the only sling that can be choked without reducing the strength. K-Links slings have the same SWL in choker and single leg configurations.

RIGGING KITS False Crotch Rigging Kit

All the gear you need to set up a false crotch rigging system is included in this kit, including rope, block to run it through, Port-a-Wrap III to control the descent, and slings to attach everything to the tree. The components provide a breaking strength of 10,000 lbs, which nets the user a 1,000 lbs. Safe Working Load (SWL) when used with a 10:1 design factor to account for possible shock loading. Using the 16mm Whoopie to attach the arborist block to the trunk is recommended to account for the compounding of forces at the rigging point without causing a reduction in the safe working load of the system. Complies with the “weak link law,” which states that the rigging line should be the weakest link in the system. Contains: 150’ 13mm Samson Stable Braid, 16mm Whoopie Sling, 13mm x 15’ Tenex dead eye sling, CMI 16mm capacity stainless steel arborist block, small nickel-plated Port-a-Wrap III, and a large canvas bag in which to carry everything.

False Crotch Rigging In false crotch rigging an arborist block or pulley is installed on the trunk to suspend the rope from. Compared to natural crotch rigging in which the rope is suspended from one of the tree’s own crotches, false crotch rigging has several advantages. • Friction at the suspension point is nearly eliminated through the use of a block or pulley. This greatly extends rope life and protects the tree. • False crotch rigging improves control of the piece being lowered, allowing bigger pieces to be lowered, and speeding up the job. • False crotches can be installed on any sound portion of the tree, whereas natural crotch riggers are limited to using naturally occurring crotches. • Using a block eliminates friction at the suspension point, which means more rope is available to absorb a shock load, and lessens the chances of breaking the rope. • Using a Port-a-Wrap, friction is made more consistent while lowering. This makes it easier to let pieces run instead of catching them suddenly, which further reduces the chances of snapping the line.

Speed Line Kit False Crotch Rigging Kit #2 This false crotch rigging kit provides a higher breaking strength and Working Load Limit (WLL) and contains all the necessary elements of a false crotch rigging system used to lower branches and logs. Provides a breaking strength of 15,000 lbs. and WLL of 1,500 lbs. This 10:1 design factor gives the user a comfortable safety margin to account for possible shock loading. Contains: 150’ 16mm Samson Stable Braid, one large nickel plated Port-a-Wrap, one stainless steel 19mm capacity arborist block, one 19mm x 8’ Whoopie sling, & one 16mm x 18’ Tenex dead eye sling, and gear bag. KIT09

Speed lining sends pieces out of a tree down a diagonal tensioned rope instead of the usual straight down lowering. This gives the user several advantages: by sending pieces directly to the truck or chipper, not only is the site at the base of the tree protected from impacts, but the ground crew is spared the work of having to carry all the pieces. On jobs where it’s an uphill carry to the street, this can be a lifesaver. To save time tying knots, each kit comes with 10 webbing sling/ carabiner combos, which are girthhitched onto individual branches and clipped to the rope before being cut and allowed to slide down. The line is tensioned with a fiddle block, which has a builtin rope grab to work as a hands-free progress capture device. For heavier pieces, the line is intended to be sagged to prevent the piece from running into the fiddle block, thereby allowing pieces to run as quickly as possible. While the line is sagged, the climber is able to move the anchor point up or down the tree to bring the rope closer to the next batch of branches. Kit is available with or without 150’ 13mm stable braid rope. Contains: Fiddle block set w/ 50’ Blue Streak, .8” x 6’ endless loop sling, 2 x 24” runners, 4 x 36” runners, 4 x 48” runners, 10 x steel captive eye carabiners, 2 x aluminum oval carabiners, CMI micro pulley, 6’ Samson 10mm Ultra Tech, large canvas gear bag, and 150’ Samson Stable Braid (optional).

WINCHES AND COME-ALONGS

Gas-Powered Portable Winch Take serious pulling power anywhere you go. Lightweight, portable, gas-powered winch has 2,500 lbs. pulling capacity. If you ever need to bring down hung-up trees, pull out-of-reach logs, or get a vehicle unstuck, the Portable Winch is for you. Weighing only 33 lbs., the unit is easily carried and can be anchored to anything using the included 6’ sling or the separate vehicle hitch plate. The Portable Winch can be used with any low-stretch rope and works great with double braid ropes like Stable Braid. The rope is tied to the object to be moved and wound three times around the capstan drum. When the engine is running, the capstan rotates continuously and the friction created by pulling on the free end of the rope pulls the object. Load will move at a speed from 25 to 40 feet/minute, depending on the weight of the load. Protective case, hitch plate to mount the winch onto a trailer hitch on pickup or ATV, and a receiver hitch to attach category III hitch receivers also available. • Winch Unit RIG204 HK$10,300 • Winch Case RIG205 HK$3,290 • Hitch Plate RIG209 HK$178 • Receiver Hitch RIG207 HK$1,311 • Skidder Cone RIG210 HK$1,141 • Tree Mount RIG213 HK$2,274 • (Tree Mount requires Receiver Hitch) •

Buckingham Port-a-Wrap III Lowering Device Used for lowering heavy branches or logs, the Port-a-Wrap III is a friction device that enables a single person to control loads many times their own weight. By taking wraps with the rigging line around the Port-a-Wrap, friction is applied to the rope; the more wraps taken, the more friction applied. Compared to the traditional method of taking wraps around the trunk of the tree, the Port-a-Wrap provides more consistent friction that doesn’t vary from one tree to the next, can be tied off to allow the worker to let go and walk away from the rope, can be combined with a fiddle block to hoist branches, and does not damage the tree. Available with black powder coating or more durable nickel plating. The aluminum Port-a-Wrap dissipates heat extremely well.

Do it yourself: Working with inexperienced ground workers? Try taking the Port-a-Wrap mini up the tree with you and control the load from the top. Install it just below the piece to be removed on the opposite side of the trunk from the cut. This will ensure that you can handle the rigging line without having to change position after making the cut, and that the trunk will be between you and the swinging branch. Snug Fit: Use a Whoopie sling instead of a dead-eye sling to attach your Port-a-Wrap to the trunk. This will save time by eliminating the need to tie a knot. Simply girth hitch the fixed eye onto the Port-a-Wrap, and then pass the whole thing around the trunk and back through the adjustable eye. In order to minimize shock loading, use the adjustable eye to take the slack out of the sling and ensure that the Port-a-Wrap is hard against the trunk.

LOWERING DEVICES

GRCS Good Rigging Control System

The ultimate tool for lowering heavy loads in a safe and controlled fashion. The GRCS has two settings, providing a 44:1 and a 22:1 mechanical advantage, and two specialized spools: one for lowering and one for lifting. It has a dead lift rating of 3,000 lbs., able to handle the heaviest sections of timber. Device attaches firmly to tree trunk. The unit features a winch that separates from the mount for easy setup. The tree mount is hinged to provide secure attachment to a wide range of stem diameters. Rubber feet on the tree mount protect the trunk of trees being pruned and allow the winch to be mounted on a tree not being removed. The rope brake is interchangeable and made from aluminum to better dissipate friction heat. This is ideal for jobs which require lowering only. Multiple fairleads position the rope on the winch drum to keep operation tangle free. The 2 speed, self-tailing winch allows a single ground person to lift, lower, and lock off tremendous loads quickly, safely, and without tying knots. GRCS

COBRA SYSTEM

1. The cobra allows for natural crown movement. 2. The cobra shock absorber softens shocks and softly cushions strong movements. The so‐called "karate effect", as it occurs with a steel cable, does not occur. 3. The dynamic cobra crown bracing gives trees room for movement, which allows them to feel weak points and compensate for them. 4. The specific design of cobra allows the crown‐bracing system to grow with the increase in diameter of the tree. 5. cobra can be easily inspected from the ground and the year of installation can be quickly determined by means of the colored end caps. 6. The black cobra hollow rope is made up of polypropylene monofilaments and is the rope fiber that is best suited for a long‐term use in trees. The degradation of strength is less than 2 % per year and allows a service life of 12 years of the cobra crown bracing system. 7. cobra crown bracing can be easily installed on the tree without any additional tools.

Felcomatic Pruner This new item from Felco is a great for anyone who has a lot of pruning to do. We brought this on as an air-powered alternative to the hydraulic tools. Shears recommended for intensive and prolonged pruning, especially when the wood is very hard. The Felcomatic is also an ideal tool when several people are working in the same area and speed and quality of work are determining factors. Requires no muscle power. The operating power for the shears is supplied by a compressor, so that branches up to 1.2” diameter can be cut with ease. The dual piston increases the cutting power and therefore improves the performance of the tool. The tool also has two safety systems: active safety (a collar surrounding the cylinder body, which blocks the blade opening lever when released), and passive safety (a hand-operated safety catch keeps the blade closed when the shears are not in use). For more comfortable pruning, cutting head can be rotated through 360º. HK$3120 Hand-held SAW408 w/72” Extension SAW409 HK$4679 Operating pressure: 7-15 bars. Air consumption: 24-50 liters per minute. Length: 10.2” Weight: 25 oz. Available as a hand unit factory assembled with 72” extension.

Cant Hooks

Peavey

Hookaroon

The most important of all log handling tools, the cant hook helps to roll logs over and position them for cutting and yarding. With two opposing hooks, cant hooks grab and hold logs better than peaveys. The longer the handle, the larger the log you can maneuver. The bright blue aluminum handle is stronger and lighter than wooden handles. Comes with either 48” or 60” handle. 48” LOG101 HK$760 60” LOG102 HK$824

Similar to a cant hook, the Peavey has a point on the end instead of a hook to help pry logs apart. The point can also be stuck in the ground, enabling the peavey to be used as a visual marker to aim at while felling trees. The bright blue aluminum handle is stronger and lighter than wooden handles. 60” handle.

Originally designed to help position floating logs to form a raft, the hookaroon is a backsaving tool for pulling firewood out of the back of a truck. Rather than standing in the bed grabbing rounds at your feet, stand upright on the ground and pull them out with the hookaroon. The 36” handle enables you to grab those pieces stuck behind the tire wells from either side of the bed. The bright blue aluminum handle is stronger and lighter than wooden handles.

LOG103 HK$854

LOG106

Log Stand

Log Carrier

The log stand is an invaluable firewood cutting tool that connects to either the cant hook or peavey. By getting the log off the ground, a round can be cleanly sliced off the end without danger of dulling the chain in the dirt. Also helps to reduce the potential for chainsaw kickback.

These chaps are 3 times more durable than polyester, 7 times more durable than nylon, and 14 times more durable than cotton. The saw-stopping power in these chaps comes from the extra large, 1440 denier Kevlar strands spaced 19mm apart in the long weave of the 6- ply chaps. To keep these strands functioning it is important to keep the chaps clean, which is why the chaps are built to repel water, grease, and oil. The chaps are reversible as well, so if one side becomes dirty they can be reversed and worn longer in between washings. These chaps are fully compliant with OSHA logging standards. For the proper fit measure the wearer from belt to top of foot to get “overall length.” 2 styles available: Regular and Full Wrap which cover the sides and back of the calf muscle. ATP recommends getting a size long enough to cover to the top of the foot.

Safety Note:

Helmets and Hardhats are two very different pieces of protective equipment. Hardhats are fine for ground work, but they lack the protection that a helmet provides in case of a fall,. Helmets have improved suspension and chin straps to keep them correctly positioned in case of a fall, and are built to provide protection against an impact from the back or side as well as from straight down. Only helmets should be used while climbing a tree, and a helmet should always be worn while working at height.

The Rigger’s Bible The Rigger’s Bible is a general reference guide for riggers and crane operators. Although it was written with the construction industry in mind, the concepts and data it discusses are still pertinent to the tree service industry because of the similarity between the applications. Both tree and construction riggers commonly employ the use of cranes, mechanical advantage, and similar working loads in their rigging systems. Because the principles of physics it discusses are universal, this book is an excellent resource for anybody who does heavy rigging.

AIR‐SPADE® 2000 The Air Spade is used to excavate soil without damaging underground root systems or utilities. Faster and less damaging than a pick and shovel, the air spade uses compressed air to remove overlying soil with less effort and time. It uses a standard air compressor operating at 90 psi to generate wind speeds of 1200 mph. Using an advanced air‐jet to dig rather than conventional tools or water offers a number of advantages in vacuum excavation including: • Air digging tools generate less worker fatigue / injuries than a pick or shovel. • In most soils, excavating with air is much faster than hand digging. • A pick and shovel are not damage free tools; while air is non‐damaging to all kinds of buried utilities. • Air breaks soil into small pieces that are ideal for recompaction. • High pressure water jets are dangerous to operators since they can cut through clothes or work boots. • Soil excavated with water becomes mud that is considered contaminated and becomes a disposal problem costing time and money. • Compressed air comes free from the atmosphere on the job site. AIRSPADE2000 HK$13,888 ATP is an official distributor for the Air‐Spade in Hong Kong and China.

This is the Basic Saddle, scaled down to kid size and without the rear aluminum ring and side snap hook. Ages 5 and up. Fits waist to 26”, upper thigh to 19”. SAD514

The grappling hook can be used just about any time you need to set a line from the ground. Whether as a quick aid for pulling trees over or pulling hangers out of the canopy, this is sure to be a useful tool. The articulating tangs can be retracted in order to prevent it from snagging inadvertently. The tangs are securely held in open or closed position with a screw down knob at the top. This product is not intended for use in setting a life line however because it does not provide a secure connection to the tree.

ATP ships around the globe to tree climbers in many different countries. Shipping rates vary widely from one country to the next, and are not always correctly computed during checkout. Shipping by USPS Priority or Express international is often the least expensive method, and is both reliable and relatively quick (4-10 days, not including time spent clearing customs). UPS offers faster shipment and has the benefit of online tracking numbers, but is usually more expensive, and may require customs brokerage fees. These fees are charged by UPS and we do not have a way of advising you of them before UPS delivers the package. Because the tools are sourced from manufacturers primarily in the United States and Europe the shipping is considered on an International basis. Your local government may charge duties, import fees, or tariffs on your package when it arrives. Please check with your customs officers for information on the taxes and duties you will be responsible for. ATP does not have a way of advising you of these duties before your package ships, and the receiver of the package is solely responsible for them. International orders placed on by emails formulated from viewing the website must choose a valid international shipping option or they will be delayed. It may be the best method to contact you and interact to discover the correct shipping information and plan! International shipping options are prefaced with “International” or “Canada” for Canadian orders etc..
