Husqvarna’s professional climbing gear has been specifically designed for arborists and tree-care professionals.
Husqvarna’s climbing gear range includes a climbing harness and ropes designed in partnership with Teufelberger, a world leader in climbing equipment, and Husqvarna has added a storage bag that makes it easy to organise the equipment and take it wherever it’s needed.
Pro standard and harness
Already an industry leader in chainsaws and cutting equipment, Husqvarna has introduced an adjustable, robust and extremely comfortable harness for climbers who spend many hours up in the trees. The harness provides world-class mobility and comfort while helping reduce the risk of injuries and physical stress when working long hours aloft.
“The new climbing gear is fantastic!” said H-Team ambassador Jamie Boston. “Husqvarna has absolutely top-notch quality gear, and the climbing harness is the hero of the range.”
A wide range of settings allows climbers to customise the harness to different climbing styles and jobs. “It allows you to have all the attachments and tools you need to go through your day-to-day work,” said Jamie.
Storage and high-quality ropes
To complement the harness, Husqvarna also offers two sets of high-quality climbing ropes which meet both CE and ANSI standards, adding versatility for different rope techniques and super smooth running during both ascent and descent.
Husqvarna has also introduced a gear bag for storing, organising and protecting the climbing and rigging gear. The user-friendly and durable 70-litre gear bag is made of high-quality fabric and includes a reinforced bottom, a helmet storage lid at the top, and side zips, allowing users to have easy access to all their gear, no matter the conditions, making work both easier and more efficient.
The range
In addition to the climbing ropes, harness and bag, Husqvarna’s professional climbing gear also offers a selection of other climbing and rigging equipment to make life in the treetops easier. This includes a chainsaw lanyard with an anti-shock feature that reduces the impact if the chainsaw gets caught in a falling branch or other object. Plus, the range also includes:
• A sling
• A work positioning lanyard
• Rigging rope
• Prusik
• A friction saver, and
• Accessory carabiners (none PPE).
Husqvarna’s arborist equipment is made of the highest quality materials and covers the many needs of climbing and rigging, and will soon include a range of purpose-made ropes with dimensions and colours to suit a broad group of professionals.
“I’ve used other products in the past,” said H-Team ambassador Kiah Martin, “and my preference is for Husqvarna.”
“The reason for that is quality product and quality people, and really good research and development. If we can keep developing products to make them safer, more functional, more durable, to reduce the fatigue on the user, and that the user has been involved in helping develop…it’s a beautiful collaboration.
“It doesn’t matter what industry you’re from, that can only be a good thing.”
Husqvarna’s long-term goal is to offer revolutionary equipment for arborists and tree care professionals.
