Arborist Equipment & Accessories

Each piece of arborist climbing gear down to the accessories plays a crucial role in the safety and security of the climber. For instance, the right harness will offer comfort and support throughout the entire tree care task, and even small arborist climbing equipment accessories like carabiners, quickdraws, pulleys, and slings help make the job safer and easier. 

If you need a climbing harness, we recommend the Teufelberger treeMOTION Climbing Harness, or the Tendon Storm Climbing Harness with Adjustable Leg Straps. Both are versatile, dependable options to consider adding to your arsenal of arborist climbing equipment.
