2009 brought many new pieces of equipment onto the market place & fortunately Treeworker continue to work alongside quality arbor-ealists to offer first dibs to its customer base on many new products. On that note; we are within weeks of receiving the first batch of the NEW TREEWORKER FRICTION TUBE (pictured) - this is a lowering device that offers degrees of control in rigging scenarios that has only been possible in the past with devices costing twice as many £'s. Since the early part of this year we have been honing the device to make it as user friendly & simple as possible, at the same time producing a product that will exceed the Safe Working Load of it's competitors by no small margin. We thought long & hard in the design stage & decided that what the industry needed was a device that was easy to install, safe in operation & simple in use. We believe the challenge has been met! Please let us know otherwise.
Please remember that although our product range does not cover everything that's out there we are more than capable of supplying most items through the extended dealer network that we are a part of.
G'luck
NEW Ultro O Ultra O Locksafe by DMM
Treeworker are pleased to be the first arborist equipment supplies company to bring to the market place the long awaited DMM Ultra O locksafe. A symmetrical carabiner has been an elusive product in the industry due the inherent difficulties in producing such a carabiner that meets industrial load standards. Those clever people at DMM, having spent many hours in production & testing, have finally made the idea a reality with this product of sheer beauty. The pictures above show the hot forging production process.
Equipment configuration within tree climbing systems has been a topic visited by relative few climbers until recent years. The many misalignments & incompatiblilties of equipment choice regularly witnessed are testament to this often avoided subject. Often at the training level lack of understanding lends itself to climbers becoming set in a certain way from the word 'go', this can lead to misconfiguration being acceptable as 'the way I've always set my system up'. This can be seen from college groups to seasoned climbers throughout our industry.
The NEW DMM Ultra O offers a carabiner that will give centre loading within your personal rope system allowing the flow of load forces to be directed through each side of the carabiner & onto your friction hitch. Quality & continued development of products has firmly put DMM at the top of the hardware tree when it comes to treework systems.
As I’m sure many of you are aware this past year has been one of financial instability in the world market, the likes of which most of us have never seen. Unfortunately the upshot of this is that the cost of many products has increased on a weekly basis. The pound (£) has weakened against the US dollar by approximately 25% & against the Euro by nearly 30%. Our suppliers are changing prices monthly & it’s extremely difficult to keep up with theses fluctuations. Many of our products are sourced from abroad & those that aren’t are still made from imported materials. The upshot of this is that occasionally a price shown on this web site will be incorrect due to an unforeseen uplift in our buy-price and we may have to contact you with a price change before accepting your order. We will endeavour to keep the lid on rising costs as much as possible but in this time please bear with us as I’m sure things will level out in due course.
Thanks for your patience.
