 | Upcoming Products Once again Treeworker are pleased to bring to the UK tree care industry the latest in equipment innovation from the Treemagineers stable. Working together with DMM Wales & Teufelberger Austria the Three Magineers (Chris Cowell, Mark Bridge & Bernd Strasser) have brought us a collection of ropes & rope tools that in time honoured fashion may become staple parts of a tree climbers equipment list. In the thorough manner that epitomises all of the products & projects that these guys get themselves involved with, I'm sure that thanks & praise will be sent in their direction for many moons to come.

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.
Whatever next!

 | Welcome to Treeworker! Greetings One & All
Many thanks to the multiple thousands of visitors we receive here each month for your continued support of Treeworker. I realise it has been a difficult year in business for some & I’m sure we’ve all heard stories of companies folding or individuals changing career due to the lack of work within arboriculture. |

These are facts that, I’m sure we’ll all have to get used to & that shouldn’t be ignored. As the cost of just about everything goes up we need to be able to maintain an income that can deal with it but as work is tight so to are the prices being offered to treework customers, particularly in the domestic field. This eventually means that work will be carried out for less & less because we all have to make our ends meet. A far from ideal scenario & a very fine knife-edge to be walking. Let’s hope that things brighten up this coming year & it becomes another to remember.
During this past year I have pondered many times on the thought of, what Treeworker is, why it happened & where might it go in the future? I guess that there are many answers to these questions but to me they are quite simple.
What is Treeworker?
It’s the beginning of a support network where arborists of all ilks’ can find information, advice & high quality products from individuals with a passion for treework. All of who have a direct connection with the practical nature of managing or climbing trees. Obviously it is also a business, not completely hell-bent on profit margins but good margins allows finance to be invested into furthering the aims of the ideal.
Why Treeworker?
Basically I was frustrated with the need for good information when, as a freelance climber, I purchased equipment. At that time, at best, most of the info I received was second hand, Chinese Whispers really. There was nobody supplying gear that had found his or her way into the arena of technical competence that is needed to offer solid help to anyone interested in buying. It seems to me that it is obviously not a prerequisite for all but it certainly was for me. So the storey continues to unfold!
Where in the future, Treeworker?
The million dollar question maybe! As many of you are aware we have been running occasional workshops for rope splicing. These will continue so long as the current level of interest remains. We are working on producing a certification program so that we may be able to get back some of the craft skills that seem to be dwindling away. There is direction also to begin offering Lantra training backed by NPTC certification, this would be the beginning of developing advanced training which is surely lacking at present.
And, as is always the case, we will be introducing a whole heap of new products in phases in the early part of this year. So please do visit the home page to see what & when these new delights are available.
Many thanks & best wishes
Nod

IMPORTANT - Price Fluctuations 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. |
