Why SherrillTree?

Warning! Tree care often requires working above or being elevated above ground level. If you fall or something drops on you, you can be seriously injured or killed. Sherrill, Inc. is not responsible for accidents resulting from the use, or misuse of any products. Products are provided with the understanding that the purchaser and/or user are thoroughly familiar with application and proper use. In this catalog, descriptions and drawings are given to show various uses or known techniques, and are not intended as a substitute for instructional review and/or proper training.

The ALL NEW SherrillTree.comWe’ve redone our entire website to bring you the most efficient and information-packed arborist supply website found this side of cyberspace. A smart new e-commerce engine, intuitive navigation and larger graphics make SherrillTree.com the first and only place to shop for professional tree care gear and tree climbing equipment.

Dear friends in arboriculture, Once again I’d like to thank the many professionals who have chosen SherrillTree for their life safety and tree care equipment needs. We know there are other options out here, a fact that keeps us forever humble, yet hungry.

Now approaching our 50th year in business and during an economy that’s clearly challenging, I feel it important to reassure customers that SherrillTree has been, and remains to be a conservatively run (politics aside) small business who’s wasted little and invested wisely. As the son of depression era parents, I’ve known the importance of avoiding debt and investing in one’s own business and at no time in our history has this lesson proven more sound.

This year like last, our focus will be on controlling prices while serving tree care professionals with top quality innovative products at bargain prices. In the year ahead we’re not only increasing our commitment to innovation, but also delivering lower prices than the vast majority of our competition.

And finally, the SherrillTree team is, as I write, putting the final touches on a new website design that’s involved thousands of hours of development on an award-winning platform of cool features and informative resources. Future shoppers will no doubt enjoy expanded variety and private account access that can only be delivered in this evermore-digital world. Whether you call, click or drive we look forward to your next visit to a SherrillTree location.

Your friends in safety,

-Tobe Sherrill

In order to better serve customers we’ve come up with additional information to assist in rope shopping. We’ve taken great effort to answer a few questions that either aren’t addressed or simply don’t have standardized methods for manufacturers to follow, like; knotability, elastic elongation, milk tendency and more. The most significant new data (elastic elongation) was measured using our own testing equipment with supervision from rope aficionado Michael “House” Tain. The effort was made to answer the age-old customer question “how bouncy is that rope?” making it easier to compare an unfamiliar rope to a familiar one. Results are on page 3.

ROPE DIAMETERS

The circles below represent diameters in 1-millimeter increments in the range of ropes that we stock, from throwline up to rigging line. For those still struggling with metric relationships, we thought the visual might help.

MATERIALS

Polyester - a synthetic polymer having lower stretch and higher tenacity and abrasion resistance than its close cousin Nylon. Melting point 480ºF

Nylon - a synthetic polymer with more stretch and with less abrasion resistance than polyester. Rarely used in arborist grade lines. Melting point 460ºF

Polyolefin - a monofilament sometimes used to bring a rope’s weight down. Melting point 260 degrees

Aramid - family of fibers including Technora, Kevlar and Nomex that pound for pound are 5-times stronger than steel and have high abrasion and heat resistance. Poor ultra violet (UV) radiation resistance, mildly self-abrasive. Charring point 900ºF

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMPE) - Includes Spectra and Dyneema. This lightweight fiber has super high strength and abrasion resistance but at a very low melting point. Good for use where heat friction is not involved. Melting point 297ºF

ARBORIST ROPE CONSTRUCTION TYPES

3-Strand - Twisted constructions are abrasion resistant but a poor choice for climbing due to their bumpy surface and tendency to rotate (unwind) under tension. Good as natural crotch rigging line.

Solid Braid - Made up of 12 large strands arborist-grade solid braid lines are woven tight to keep a round shape under tension, a process that’s made eye-splicing nearly impossible... that is, until Grizzly came along. Less tendency to twist than other braided lines. Good for climbing or rigging.

Hollow Braid - Another 12-strand construction but woven with considerably less tension leaving the center loose enough to accommodate an easy splice. Good for slings and fixed lines but not for climbing or rigging due to snagging and picking when run over a rough surface.

16-Strand - This abrasion resistant rope construction presents a thick mantle (cover) around a small interior core bundle that helps keep the rope round under tension and makes it easy to tie. The thick mantle provides most of this popular climbing line’s strength.

Double Braid - This braid inside a braid remains round under tension even when running over pulleys and brake drums. Generally core and cover share equal load. Best for rigging duties, we offer a tight version (Super Braid) for greater dirt resistance when natural crotch rigging, and a loose version (Stable Braid) that is spliceable and best for block and tackle use. All have a eurathane coating and wear equally well.

Kernmantle - The mantle (cover) of this rope is woven tight to provide protection for the load bearing core (up to 70%) strands which are not woven (parallel). Core strands can also be twisted like a slinky to add elasticity providing manufacturers a lot of flexibility to manipulate the finished product based on intended use. Good for a wide range of duties. Arborist climbing lines of this construction are considered “cover dependent kernmantles.”

SHERRILL MEASURED DIAMETER - Customers often select ropes based on subtle variances in diameter. For example some prefer Tree Pro Red or True Blue for their beefier feel over others marketed as similar half-inch diameters. For this column we took our trusty micrometer and measured relaxed ropes (not under tension) to provide shoppers with accurate measurements (within 1/2 mm) right off the shelf. The Cordage Institute grants manufacturers a 5% variance in strength, length, weight and diameter of most finished rope products.

MILKS - milking is when a rope’s mantle (outer cover) elongates over its core, most often when new and due to friction hitch use that forces strands into maximum alignment. Milking usually shows up as a bubble of material that can be drawn to one end and trimmed with scissors.

MATERIAL - see page 2 for descriptions of rope materials.

KNOTABILITY (10 being excellent) - Ropes for rigging and SRT generally are not “knot-friendly.” Their stiff construction makes them more resistant to abrasion, but tougher to dress into a tight knot.

SPLICEABLE - If you like to climb with a split tail (see page 39) then we recommend hand splicing the climbing rope’s end, except for those ropes that are not hand-spliceable. Grizzly can get lodged in a tight crotch when retrieved from the ground.

ELASTIC ELONGATION (SHERRILL TESTED) - Manufacturers often perform this test by preloading their samples up to 1,000 pounds for 50 cycles, exhausting that new rope elasticity that climbers discover on the showroom floor. Following the ASNI standard we preloaded samples of every rope we sell 3 times to 200 lbs (still about 5-times reality) before giving it one last tug to 540 lbs from a relaxed state to better determine what elasticity you’ll discover when you take your line for a ride!

ROUNDNESS UNDER LOAD (10 being round) - It’s a fact that 12-strand ropes square off under load while doublebraid stays round under high tension even when trailing through blocks and tackle.

SURFACE TEXTURE (10 being smooth) - This spec can be critical to prusik or friction hitch performance.

WAX CONTENT (10 being high) - Sand, grit and dirt particles are the enemy of ropes because such particles become trapped inside the fabric and, like rocks in your shoe, slowly work their irritating destruction. Wax liquid, among other proprietary formulas, are added during the manufacturing process to help protect inner fibers while offering lubrication that enhances tensile strength.

ROPE CHART

Rigging ropes on page 13.

Working Load Limit (WLL): WLL is the MAXIMUM LOAD which should ever be ap-plied to products new and in good condition. Such loads should be applied gently, uniformly and in a straight-line pull. Most working load limits illustrated in this catalog represent 1/5th of the products tensile strength measured in a laboratory setting under ideal conditions. Customers utilizing products near their WLL should anticipate a product life of no more than a few hundred cycles before needed disposal of that product (see “cycles to failure” page 98 of Arborist Equipment by Donald F. Blair). In circumstances where dynamic loading may be involved (load movement, jerking, dropping, swinging, shaking, etc.) the load weight should be decreased to as little as 1/90th of said product’s tensile strength. This means that a product with tensile strength of 9,000 pounds should not experience loads exceeding 100 pounds (tensile strength divided by 90). The reason for this is because mass in motion generates significantly higher force than static mass. For example; a lead pellet weighing only a few ounces shot from a cannon can create an impact force of several thousand pounds! Similarly, a log weighing 200 pounds dropped only 4 feet creates a MINIMUM FORCE of 1,000 pounds! It is recommended that the end user establish working loads based on professional judgment and personal experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks.

The premium ropes displayed across the top of the next few pages are the latest designs from the top three arborist rope manufacturers in the United States. Although most often found in the tool kits of the industry’s more competitive workers, don’t think for a second that you too can’t afford to integrate premium

rope into your routine. Specially woven to provide limited stretch and maximum wear, these lightweight lines pay their way through increased production by saving effort and energy required to shuttle rope around on those grueling, hot summer days. Each line was developed with characteristics sought by competition-level climbers, including light weight, firm roundness, excellent knot-tying characteristics, and superb wear during use with modern rope-friction devices and techniques. So, if you’re looking to take your climb to the next level, look no further than SherrillTree.

PREMIUM ROPES FROM SHERRILLTREE

“Specially woven to provide limited stretch and maximum wear”

Bend Radius

Bend radius in our illustration refers to the curvature of a pulley sheave over which a rope runs. The smaller the sheave, the more the outer strands of our rope are distorted under load, causing uneven stress that results in lower tensile strength. Similar stresses are evident over non rotating surfaces like branch wood but with the added and often intense friction. Generally, within industrial applications, a minimum sheave-to-rope ratio of 4:1 is preferred.

A pulley sheave four times the rope’s

diameter is generally preferred in industrial

applications

Poison Ivy® & Hi-vy (11.7 mm) For tree climbers, rope is among the top four most important tools for work efficiency and comfort—the other three being the saddle, safety lanyard, and handsaw. Without good interaction among these tools and your hands, movement within the tree’s crown can be something less than elegant. Popular among several of the world’s leading competition-level climbers, Poison Ivy is not only versatile for all climbing styles, but it’s affordable for all climbing budgets, too. Poison Ivy has a unique kernmantle construction that stays round when pinched by camming mechanisms, yet it is unusually flexible and knot friendly. This construction delivers one of the most static (non-elastic) characteristics available in spliceable arborist rope, ideal for traditional climbers looking for limited “bounce” and especially attractive to SRT (single rope technique) climbers longing to abandon the need for two lines when doubled rope tasks are on the day’s agenda. Beefier to the grip than other ascender-friendly lines, Poison Ivy is still small enough to feed freely through mechanical devices like ascenders and descenders. Unlike other arborist climbing lines, Poison Ivy has no noticeable coating or fabric treatment to make the line feel tacky or slippery when new. And last but not least is the Ivy’s tough camo-colored jacket! Although not completely invisible, especially among groundies anticipating rope, one of Poison Ivy’s primary appeals is to climbers who prefer to be heard, not seen. And, of course, if incognito’s not your modus operandi, grab a big armful of high-visibility Poison High-vy … She’s pretty as a daisy, but look out, man, she’s crazy. Poison ivy, man, it’ll make you itch.

Poison Ivy Fan

DAN KRAUS2005 International TC Champion

Fly (11 mm) New England was the first to tap the idea of “smaller is better” when it came to performance climbing lines. Unveiled in 2002, Fly quickly buzzed the climbing circuit as the first lightweight tree climbing line designed specifically for use with modern mechanical devices.

Blaze (11 mm) Blaze, the brainchild of Yale Rope’s arborist account director Jamie Goddard, is designed especially for tree climbing and aimed at a need for lightweight, ascender-friendly, yet premium rope product that performs well when climbed with a friction hitch. As it turned out, Blaze caught fire among climbers for all those reasons plus its ideal knot-tying characteristics. Over time, Blaze became the starting point for SherrillTree’s exclusive offspring—a slightly larger version in a camouflage color that’s now known as Poison Ivy. Blaze’s

biggest fans are sure to be those who make regular use of mechanical devices like rope grabs (ascenders) or friction controllers (descenders) because so many of these devices are designed for ropes 9 to 11 mm in diameter. However you climb, you’re sure to love the flashy look and feel of this modern climbing favorite.

Samson’s proprietary Sure Grip technology gives Velocity a fully broken-in feel right out of the bag, making its moderately tacky grip one of the primary differences between it and the Fly.

Splices verses Knots

A spliced rope termination generally retains around 90% of a rope’s strength while knots cut strength to about 60%. Although a skilled knot-tyer can make a quick connection to about any snap, a splice presents a considerably smoother transition and without a loose end to potentially unravel. Carabiners and other connecting hardware can be quickly detached from a splice while knots can present a challenge to untie if loaded heavily. Knots and splices each have an important role in most industrial applications.

Lava (11.5 mm) This molten-hot addition to the SherrillTree lineup is built by New England Rope and uses the new FlexiFirm Core Technology (trade name Tachyon) to deliver climbers a unique, low-stretch, tough-skinned, double-braid that stays round and firm under load. Unlike any double braid before it, Lava contains a unique third “magma strand” that provides spectacular support and density to both core and mantle. Lava provides excellent traction to both split-tails and ascenders, resulting in flawless performance of doubled-rope (traditional) and single-rope climbing techniques. Lava flows smoothly through a wide array of modern mechanical devices, thanks to its small size and sleek jacket. Lava tips my personal micrometer at 12 mm, and natives are sure to praise the gods for another Poison Ivy–like line that can be eye-spliced at both ends! Within each linear foot of Lava’s deep blue–colored mantle burst glowing bright flecks of either hot orange or bright lime, delivering a distinctive and unique look that can be spotted or called for from great distances. If a new climbing line is in your budget and breaking new ground doesn’t shake you, visit your nearest participating Vermeer dealer or pick up the phone before something evil erupts!

Samson Solid-Braids (13 mm) This solid-braid family of ropes is a good choice for climbing or rigging duties. Although a bit more elastic than their core/cover cousins (16-strand, double braids, etc.) solid braid ropes wear quite well in the face of natural crotch interaction. In fact some climbers prefer the way the rope “furs-up” with wear and tear. Although a bumpier ride than ropes with more strands, these lines are naturally twist-resistant due to design. Some of the differences you’ll find in the ropes on this page are listed on the rope specifications chart (page 3).

Rope Care

Of all users of life safety rope for industrial application, none are more abusive than tree workers. Bark dust, soil and grit pounded into climbing ropes are quite destructive to internal fibers as the rope is stretched and relaxed in use. Manufacturers suggest washing life safety lines with non detergent soap and according to generally accepted guidelines detailed in the helpful tips section of our new web site.

ADD A SPLICE TO BOTH ENDS of your rope by adding “SS” to the rope’s part code (not available on Yellow Jacket) and $40 to the price.


ArborMaster® Series (13mm) Samson Rope Company utilizes a proprietary process that stabilizes this rope’s core strands to perfectly match its jacket resulting in a 16-strand line that Samson can confidently promote as “non-milking.” This means that you’ll never have to trim the line’s end due to cover elongation created from friction hitch use, common with other 2-part ropes. In fact they’re so confident in the process that it’s the only rope guaranteed hand-spliceable on both ends!

Safety Blue & Hi-Vee (13mm) “Since my daddy was around…” is usually how the conversation starts with customers calling in for Safety Blue or Hi-Vee. New England knew very well what they were doing when they designed this premium climbing line back in the early 90’s. Named for its blue core (that magically shows through if you nick it with 40cc’s of screaming chainsaw), Safety Blue and High-Vee consist of tightly plied polyester surrounding fibrulated polypropylene strands that significantly reduce the ropes weight without compromising firmness or roundness. So, who’s your daddy now?

XTC (13mm) Arborists and tree climbers from around the world seek Yale’s XTC for two primary reasons; performance and tenacity. XTC’s smooth jacket provides unique performance to friction hitches of all types while the 100% polyester construction puts up with even the worst bark bites. Choose from three easily identified and uniquely patterned ropes for a line that interacts superbly with virtually any currently available split tail (including Lockjack, page 38) or tail tie to itself with a traditional technique to experience the ultimate in climbing ecstasy!

Sterling HTP Snakebite (10 mm) After remarkable climbing opportunities with redwood expert Dr. Steve Sillett and research friends, it became abundantly clear that what I thought was the best static line for SRT ascent (rope walking), simply wasn’t. Dr. Sillett proved beyond doubt that Sterling high-tenacity polyester (HTP) had the least stretch and toughest jacket of the four most popular lines on the market. Sillett and his companions have likely logged more vertical feet on static line than anyone today, perhaps any group of climbers in history, often ascending the world’s tallest trees several times a day and for months on end—I’m talking 150+ feet just to the first branch! After several personal climbs on Sterling HTP, I’m convinced that the growing number of professional arborists practicing single rope tree climbing will truly enjoy this low-stretch product.

Stable Braid 1/2" Orange150 ft. STB12-150 - $132200 ft. STB12-200 - $171600 ft. STB12-600 - $439

Double-braid rope is the most commonly used rope for rigging trees because of its high strength and low stretch. The name describes this rope’s construction, 2 ropes in one. The inner core is protected by a tightly woven outer jacket, creating a very strong, flexible line with low stretch characteristics. In the final stage of manufacturing, Stable Braid ropes are dip-coated in a bath of liquid Samthane that dries into an abrasion-resistant shell. This coating does wear over time, but adds a great deal of life to the rope that it protects. Unlike the Super-Braid (below), this line is spliceable. Stable Braid is designed to be used with false crotch blocks and other rigging hardware so you can take full advantage of its strength and durability.

Most often used as a bull line for heavy work, Super-Braid Plus is also good for speed line work, with its smooth surface, high strength, and firm body. This rope does not go flat when run over a brake or pulley. Super-Braid is woven tightly for increased durability, but friction between closer fibers reduces tensile strength. SherrillTree’s Super-Braid Plus provides you the firmest, double-braid polyester bull rope on the market. NOTE: With use, the cover of double-braid ropes will outstretch the core. When this occurs, tie off one end, milk the cover to the opposite end, tape, recut and melt.

• Good abrasion resistance• Good flexibility• No break-in time required• Low stretch• Rotates under load• Low UV resistance• Spliceable (both ends)

Samson’s Pro-Master 3-strand bull rope has tough polyester jacket fibers covering polyolefin core fibers to maximize abrasion resistance. Low elasticity offers unequalled load control, and special jacket fibers give excellent grip and rendering capabilities on winches. Pro-Master™ is identified by a green ID strand and is of a tighter construction when compared with other 3-strand polyester/polyolefin ropes. The tight body helps guard against the intrusion of dirt and grit, while providing excellent handling and knot-tying characteristics. Good for natural crotch rigging.

Black WidowMicro Bull line, 1/4", 7,400 lbs. tensile Black Widow is 3.5 pounds of super strong line that can fit in a bag the size of a basketball and be virtually thrown into (or out of) most trees! Use Black Widow to inspire lean, as a slide line in a pinch, as a mini tagline, for straightening storm-bent trees, and much more! SherrillTree customer Steve Costa of Groveland California recently tracked me down at a west coast

tree care show to explain what an awesome product Black Widow has been for his small business. Steve explained in vivid detail how his rigger climbs some of the largest conifers in the world with Black Widow in a hip-side bag, attaches the end to the tree and tosses the bag out through the canopy to the ground crew, much like a water rescuer does to his victim. From there workers can hand-apply significant tension or use the Widow to tow a larger line into position (if high tension is required). “It’s the first thing I take out of the truck when we’ve got big, thick canopy trees to pull. And you can quote me on that!”

THROW WEIGHTLAUNCHING SYSTEM

The BIGshot head assembly fits into the female ferrule of Jameson’s utility-grade fiberglass extension poles to produce

the leading and most effective means of launching a throw weight accurately into tree canopies and over other high targets. Unlike

any other method (compound bow, gas or powder-charged guns) the BIGshot accepts a wide range of projectiles, requires no special license

to transport and most importantly provides the user with fully variable thrust force to limit over-shooting of low to mid-range targets. The BIGshot

also solves one of the most significant difficulties of hand tossing throw weights; vertical targets with narrow approaches. With minimal practice you’ll be able to

hit high targets as small as a pie pan through a small frame of branches and twigs. This is truly a tree workers best friend!

THE NEW BIGshot design is more accurate and 25% lighter than

before! Thanks to computer-aided design (CAD) we were able to reduce excess bulk and weight from the head assembly while

keeping the same wide-fork dimension that has made this tool such a popular throwline accessory. While we were at it, we

redesigned the launch pad to cut in-air projectile rotation by 50%, greatly improving accuracy (also available as

a sling replacement for older models). So, if you’re looking to thread the needle through the thickest

of canopies or launch throw weights up to 150 vertical feet, reach for the tool that arborists

around the world call for by name.

Throwing a Line Tie the throwline to your weight’s ring using a slipped clove hitch, then, drop the weight to the ground and tie a slipknot about thigh high and use this bump in the line as your pinch point for precision release. Once your target limb is isolated (see below right for a line isolation trick), install the climbing line (with friction saver). Rip Tompkins suggests a pile hitch, but a host of other knots serve this purpose just as well.

Folding Throwline Cube The makers of Fold & Hold take climbers to the next level with this top-quality cube designed specifically for throwline organization. Just as effective at dispersing line during the throw as it is at receiving line being retrieved, the Fold & Hold Deluxe can be used on the ground or in the tree with equal effectiveness. The jet black sides with red trimming are not only attractive after extensive outdoor use but make the cube stand out just enough on the job site without attracting unnecessary attention from strangers. Storage features include one large exterior and two small interior pockets for holding throw weights plus an interior Velcro strap and D-ring for quick line-end recovery. Made with approval from Heinrich Haeussler . Not sold in Germany.

Throwline Storage Spooling line onto a coiling device or stick is common among tree workers. Rolling and unrolling line in this manner can be rather time consuming. If you “hank” line on to your arm, you must unhank it the exact same way prior to use or deal with a tangled mess.The proper method of storing most line is to “flake it” into or onto something clean. Piling line from bottom to top is simple to do, and tangle-free at firing time. If you don’t have a bucket, bag or line tarp, simply use a paper bag but always keep the working end separate from the pile or all will be lost!

WingmanDrawstring Saddlebag This Wingman not only covers your back with loops, hoops and pockets for storage, but is trained to lay down as smooth a line as you’re gonna see. That’s right, in the time it takes to say “hey sweet lips, is that your natural color?” Wingman can be front and center (easily repositioned from back to front) with every tool necessary to land the perfect, uuh, well, tree branch area where it meets the trunk. And if that weren’t enough, this worthy assistant is lined with pockets to carry your cell phone, pens, lighter, and most other essentials required to cruise a righteous canopy. The wall-lined pockets also do well at keeping gear from entangling a good line. So what’s our new credo? Never, ever, ever leave your Wingman behind.

THROWLINES Choose from the best throwline materials in the industry to get your every tree job done on schedule! SherrillTree recommends choosing the lightest throw weight possible for returning the chosen line to the ground, a challenge that is largely based on tree bark roughness and crown density. Although a light throw weight is easier to throw high, it must be heavy enough to pull its attached line to the ground or all is for nothing. In most cases we recommend a 12-14 ounce weight for 80% of mid-range hand throws and under 10 ounce for really high stuff. Also, hand throws often arch more significantly than a Big Shot launch so hand throws will require more weight to compensate for multi-branch contact friction.

AMT Throwline bags (A-D) ArborMaster Training™ throwline bags are the heart of a solid rope access “system.” Made of heavy-gauge pack cloth nylon with drawstring closures, both models have folded and stitched handles with exterior pockets for storing essentials. On the inside, each has enough room to stack upward of four 200’ throwlines, along with four floating rings lining the walls for managing line’s end. The deluxe model has a rigid rim stitched into the top, interior pockets for throw weight storage, and Velcro tabs on exterior pockets to keep valuables (like your new Line Tamer) secure during travel, even in the swiftest of corner turns.

Line Bags (E-G) Choose from our new, see-through mesh nylon or solid canvas nylon-constructed line bags to meet your storage needs. Mesh is translucent, for instant identification of contents and air circulation to allow wet line to dry quickly. The nylon canvas version does a good job of keeping things dry in the first place. Both 9" bags work great with the Line Tamer (below), hold up to 400' of throwline, and have drawstring closures to keep contents in place. Plastic discs available to separate stacked lines.

Fold & Hold Cube The folding cube has truly revolutionized throwline storage in just a few years! Although not as sturdy as our higher quality fabric cubes (above), this plastic-mesh box folds flat for storage of throwlines up to a few hundred feet.

12" blue 28289 - $15 Rope Tarp If you’re looking for a recommendation on rope storage, simplicity meets function with the rope tarp. We all know the trouble with dispersing rope from a rolled hank, lay it on the ground and you’ll end up with a big fat wad on a leash! Rope is best stored loosely and in a random pattern for our type of work, and protection from dirt, fuel and sharp objects is simply a must. For this, a rope tarp is perfect. Pulling rope off a tarp is so easy you could literally fire it out of a gun! When you’re finished, drop the rope off the branch onto your rope tarp, roll it up and move on. It really is that easy, and you’re gonna love the multi-uses!

58" by 46" Rope Tarp holds 1/2" ropes to 150' long

Mesh Tool Bags Tired of shuffling through the darkness for your favorite tool? These zippered mesh tool bags are the ultimate storage system for small hardware. Without opening anything, you can determine what’s holding what and where. The tough, coated nylon mesh material allows moisture to evaporate to keeps things dry. Heavy-duty, extra large zipper hardware stands up to the punishment of commercial use.

Rope Wash Bag Okay, here’s the word. Some tree people wash their climbing ropes in the neighborhood laundromat’s tumble washer. There, I let the cat out of the bag. Just keep it to yourself! We can do better than that, and here’s how it works: put your rope in our wash bag and draw the string tight. Put some mild detergent or dishwashing liquid in warm water and do the rhumba...maybe turn up a little Lynyrd Skynyrd. There are other devices for washing ropes, but none gets better results -that is until some greenhorn forgets to cinch down the bag and sends the local Maytag man on a killing spree! One size bag (24" by 30") available for 1/2" lines up to 200'.

Line Tamer An idea brought to us by tree-buddy Eddie Bingle, the battery-operated, Line Tamer shuttles 200 feet of throwline from one location to another in just 15 seconds! That’s right, from scattered across the ground to inside something as small as a soda bottle in less time than it normally takes to decide who gets the task. This specially modified for SherrillTree, line-stripping device by Berkley works on cordage up to 2.2 mm, including SherrillTree’s Rhino Line and Zing-it. Two C batteries, bag and line not included.

TelescopingReach Tool From 19 inchesto 10 FEET! Des igned p r imar i l y f o r maximizing reach to rope ends for horizontal canopy movement, this 10-foot stainless steel telescoping handle uses a flexible tip that you can bend into whatever shape the task requires. Bend it tight for hooking ropes, or into an “s” to push them over a branch, and, when you’re done, straighten it out and move through the tree without hooking to everything you pass. Climbers are going to love the length, weight, and portability, but—more important—the ability to canvas a canopy like never before!

Jet Sled This simple yet rugged polyethylene sled is a great answer to organizing a cluttered truck bed or shuttling gear or debris around the job s i te . Organize chain saws, oil, and gas to keep them safe from spilling or cutting other gear in your truck bed, or isolate ropes and saddles and gear from … well, saws, oil, and gas. Transport light to medium loads across snow or grass, between bushes, through mud, up creeks (floats up to 90 pounds) and more while keeping gear neat and dry. A single Jet Sled weighs only 16 pounds and can be stored about anywhere the chips may fall. Use a heavy duty, water repellant, Jet Sled cover to keep items dry in your open truck bed or to keep private property...private. Note: Although polyethylene material is extremely tough, excessive dragging of loads across dry, abrasive surfaces will wear out the bottom. Dimensions: 54 inches L by 24 inches W by 10 inches D.

Sit harnesses (saddles) certified to Europe’s stringent EN 813 and EN 358 standards (like those certified to ANSI) are designed for work positioning and not fall arrest. The Sequoia, TreeMotion and Butterfly saddles are tested as follows;

STATIC TEST: approved attachment points must withstand a 15 kN (3,372 lbf) static load for 3 minutes. Actual strength is generally much higher than that required by the standard.

DYNAMIC TEST: attachment points designed to be used in pairs must withstand a 100kg 1-meter drop test; those designed to be used individually must withstand a 2-meter drop.

Note: for these tests, each attachment point is tested individually, even those designed for use in pairs (e.g. lateral positioning rings).

SherrillTree Saddle Sizing Chart“Guide to the perfect fit”Although manufacturers provide general fit ranges for their saddles, we still find minor discrepancies that might not jive with each customers physical shape, so this year we’ve painstakingly measured and logged the actual large-to-small measurements of each product we sell for improved customer convenience. Take measurements fully clothed and at the specified locations, then select your next saddle based on the actual fit ranges that you’ll find listed near each cataloged saddle.

LEG

Most saddle leg straps encircle the very highest part of the thigh. Make sure when you choose a saddle that’s maximum measurement isn’t “tight” on your leg, leave room for a loose fit here.

For optimum comfort it is best to have the positioning rings resting forward of your hip bones, although quite frankly, this position is more important for linemen’s belts where 100% of climbing time is performed on gaffs and lanyard.

Wear your climbing pants, belt and at least one shirt to reflect a minimal working outfit. Make sure to measure just above your hip bones where most climbers wear the waist belt.

Wideback Tree Saddle Our Wideback Tree Saddle consists of thick nylon belting stitched to a 5” wide leather backpad for added comfort and support; stress points are double reinforced for long wear. All Buckingham/SherrillTree saddles are manufactured in accordance with ANSI A10.14 and Z359.1 and OSHA standards and regulations, as personal protection equipment for use by properly trained professionals only.

Basic Tree Saddle Basic saddles have a thick cotton canvas liner (3" wide) that reduces chaffing and absorbs moisture. This liner and all hardware are double-stitched to heavy-duty nylon support webbing. The retainer option helps to keep the seat strap in proper position, even when walking about. The retainer also helps prevent a climber from inadvertantly falling through their saddle.

Floating Dee Wide Back Saddle Here’s another great SherrillTree product designed for comfort and function. The extra-wide 6” back pad is foam filled, providing firm, yet comfortable support. The saddle back features five rounded nylon loops that hold up to 15 lbs of accessories each, and two nylon utility straps with brass snaps, so you can keep your tools close at hand. The floating dee allows the wearer to rotate in their saddle, without the saddle rotating around them. This model supports the wearer by the individual legs instead of across the bum as seen above. Conforms with all related ANSI and OSHA standards.

Floating Dee Tree Saddle This saddle combines the features of our lightweight, more economical saddles p but with a floating D-ring that is effective for reducing stress to the back and torso when performing tree work. This model supports the wearer from a seat strap type seat instead of individual legs as seen below. Like all Buckingham saddle products, this saddle conforms with all related ANSI and OSHA standards.

Positioning harnesses (tree climbing saddles) are designed for positioning and not approved or safe for fall arrest! Falling into a positioning harness with restraint attached to the abdominal area can lead to a broken back or death. Always keep climbing lines taut (without slack) and use a safety lanyard whenever positioning for a task!

A. CLOVE HITCH quick hitch used to send tools aloft or to anchor rigging lines to non-rotating objects (add a half hitch or two if anchor point might rotate).

B. SLIP KNOT used commonly as a jam knot for holding line in position or as a pinch bump for throwline.

C. DOUBLE FISHERMAN’S KNOT (GRAPEVINE KNOT) used to connect line ends such as to create a prusik loop for the secured footlock technique. Difficult to nearly impossible to untie following a heavy load.

D. SCAFFOLD KNOT for securing line to a rigid object like a safety snap or carabiner. Hitch cinches down firmly with load and can be difficult to untie after applying heavy loads.

E. RUNNING BOWLINE in rigging this is often used to connect the target wood to the terminal end of line. The cinching power of the hitch holds wood tight but is easy to tie and untie.

F. BLAKE’S HITCH this is a friction hitch used to ascend and descend by climbers utilizing the doubled rope technique (DdRT).

G. SCHWABISCH PRUSIK friction hitch tied with a line approximately 1/8” smaller in diameter than the climber’s support line that is easy to tie and untie, has a firm grip when loaded and releases easily when not loaded.

H. SHEET BEND for quickly attaching 2 lines (of different or similar diameter) to shuttle their position. Not very stable and not intended for carrying significant weight loads.

Cougar Rope Bridge Saddleby Weaver Over the past decade, a certain characteristic of saddle design has become the number-one sought-after feature for comfort in tree climbing—the floating bridge. The floating bridge is essentially a suspension strap that spans the wearer’s lap where the support line is connected, allowing for free movement of the torso like no other design. Such mobility allows a tree climber to reach up and down and in, and out much more freely during a routine that demands flexibility. With design assistance from North Carolina arborist Eddie Simril, Weaver puts their Cougar on path with a handful of the industry’s most respected predators, including treeMotion, Dragonfly & Butterfly, Glide, Sequoia, Traverse, Versatile, and the new Ergovation. Weaver’s genes are obvious in the Cougar—from the signature, heavy-duty stitching to the grommet-stamped tongue buckle. The Cougar makes for a good-quality, entry-level floating bridge saddle.

• Adjustable leg and bridge straps provide comfortable fit for a wide variety of body shapes

• Removable and replaceable leg pads and bridge

• Leg straps feature secure, quick-connect buckles for ease of use

• Belay loop on back for training and rescue (not for fall arrest)

• Spaces in belt for attaching accessory carabiners

• Built-in attachment rings for suspenders (suspenders sold separately) help distribute tool weight to reduce fatigue

• Three additional D’s on the bottom of the waist back for attachment of ditty bag or first-aid kit

• Saddle features a sewn-on leather identification tag with an insert for convenient storage of the plastic use, wear, warning, and maintenance tag

• Weight: approximately 6.5 pounds

Ergovation Tree Climbing Saddle Take a list of every tree climber’s favorite saddle features, toss in an engineer’s eye for enhanced adjustability, blend in an ergonomic tune-up by a physical therapist, and then send it down the line at America’s leading industrial harness manufacturer—and what do you get? One high-powered innovation that’s sure to win the working-climber’s heart. This latest edition saddle from Buckingham is the brainchild of tree climbing instructor and certified arborist Ed Carpenter and his physical-therapist sibling Dr. Amanda Carpenter. Together, the Carpenters spent countless hours crafting their dream saddle into a study of fine-tuned ergonomics. The Ergovation is not only modular (22 replaceable parts), but highly adjustable. From hip-positioning rings that adjust fore and aft, to leg straps that allow buckle placement inside or outside the thighs, the Ergo was designed to fit a range of climbing styles and motions. Only the second tree climbing harness to address adjustable lumbar support (besides Treemotion), the Ergovation includes a hidden pocket in the belt back for installing a half-inch closed-cell foam pad (included with each saddle). You can even insert your own doctor-prescribed hot or cold therapeutic pad. If you’re in the market for a premium upgrade to your current saddle, strap on this comfortable ergonomic wonder, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Adjustable work positioning D-rings for comfortable and customized fitting by user.

3:1 waist adjustment and removable abdominal stabilization system for precise fit and to prevent shifting.

Customizable lumbar support to help maintain optimal posture.

Navaho BODFull Body Fall-arrest and Work Positioning Harness Aerial lift operations • Tree climbing • Rescue • Roofing & FramingTower erection • Stage rigging • Rope access

NFPA, CE and ANSI certified, the Navaho BOD is an excellent choice for climbers who alternate between tree and aerial lift device. Well padded and comfortably designed suspenders are fully rated for fall arrest and include both dorsal (fall arrest) and sternal d-ring attachment points. The suspenders on this model are integrated (non detachable from saddle) so if you’re considering the product based on price (comparing to the Sequoia above for example) keep this fact in mind. Also, the Top Croll suspenders for the Sequoia (above) do not have dorsal attachment. The Navaho BOD features considerable accessory storage including 3 accessory loops on the back pad and 6 accessory carabiner positions. Overhead suspension is performed from a single abdominal d-ring, this saddle does not have a bridge style attachment. Wt 66 or 70 ounces

Butterfly II and Dragonfly II The Butterfly and Dragonfly tree climbing saddles were developed by European tree experts Frédéric Mathias and François Dussenne of Canopee Design. Quite popular in overseas markets, these lightweight, extremely versatile saddles have built a reputation for comfort and functionality in the working community. Owners of these saddles have the ability to change out the support bridge by way of stainless-steel clevis anchor points. With this new feature, many climbers are able to plug in hardware options such as the Rock Exotica swivel or captive-eye carabiner (page 54) to better reflect their personal climbing styles. Weighing in at less than 4 pounds, each saddle sports wide padding in the back for very comfortable lumbar support. The Butterfly has an adjustable leg-strap suspension system that supports each thigh independently and is contoured to alleviate pinching in the wearer’s crotch. The Dragonfly utilizes a Bosun seat design that many climbers feel is more comfortable when a lot of sitting is on the schedule. This lower portion (seat) is interchangeable between saddles and, because the Butterfly is the more popular choice by climbers, we offer the Dragonfly’s batten seat separately for Butterfly owners who want the option of converting periodically. The switch takes only minutes. If you’re in the market for a proven performer that makes work a pleasure, consider the Butterfly or Dragonfly an excellent choice!

Quick-connect clips on the belt and leg-straps make getting in and out of the B2 a breeze!

Comfortable, contoured belt back has 3 roomy storage loops and an accessory ring on each side.

New design utilizes clevises, allowing for a simple change of the bridge. Locktite® required.

treeMOTION For prudent climbers, selecting the next saddle is all about maximizing work efficiency and minimizing physical stress. The dollars spent today are purely an investment in the hours, days, and weeks to come. The difference between a more costly yet clever, well-built modern design and an old-school, bottom-dollar option has little weight in the decision! treeMotion was designed over a five-year period by three of the most innovative and physical climbers I know, and, unlike the developers of the latest pro-athlete running shoe, these guys actually put some time into design before physically cutting, sewing, and climbing each sample up to production. The brainchild of seven-time world champion Beddes Strasser of Germany, treeMotion is simple yet highly sophisticated, tough yet flexible, and—above all—designed to support a wide range of tree climbing techniques and moves. What treeMotion isn’t is limited. Named after the unique movement performed by treeworkers, treeMotion delivers comfort through four primary and new-to-market features: an ergonomically cut back and leg design; user-adjustable suspension bridge and rings; self-adjusting multistrap hip and lumbar support; and, lastly, user-customizable utility loops on back and leg pads. Like being gifted the garage of your dreams, each new owner is entitled to design his own tool locations to preference. Where other saddles have five to ten fixed tool locations, treeMotion has more than 100 possibilities to choose from, including several on the leg pads! The same holds true for the suspension bridge, where length and accessory options abound. The treeMotion team devised an ingenious support ring that allows fine adjustment of the pulley-friendly bridge cordage that glides ever so smoothly! In mere minutes, you can switch from an installed swivel to a rope-style pulley to, heck, nothing at all. And when this supporting bridge wears out, simply thread a knotted replacement and voilà, no splicing, no stitching, no hassle … treeMotion. Features include ergonomically cut back and leg pads that conform to human shape (not just a die-cut oval shape); removable and washable padding; six Caritool positions, two heavy-duty (red) and vertically adjustable cord loops; first-aid kit position with two cinch straps in lumbar area; committed and load-bearing chain-saw ring in back. Fits waist sizes 30-38”.

A properly positioned chainsaw ring forleft or right side use.

Back and legpad material is

easily removable and machine washable.

Two permanent accessory loops are adjustable.

Twin lumbar straps turn your 1st aid kit into ideal support.

Sequoia

SEqUOIA for climbing DdRT (doubled rope technique)

SEqUOIA SRT for climbing both DdRT and SRT (single rope technique.) Comes with a step-through belt design with front and back attachment points for Top Croll.

Leave it to Petzl to go beyond the call of duty with this latest tree climbing innovation, appropriately named after the world’s largest living phenomenon. The Sequoia is an amazingly comfortable and well-ventilated design that comes in two variations whose only differences can be boiled down to a waist adjuster and two small attachment points (front and back on the SRT model) for attaching Petzl’s Secur suspenders and the Croll chest ascender (required in some rope-walking systems). If you only climb using doubled rope, in the traditional tree climbing fashion, then you may find the additional expense and step-through waist belt nonessential. Everything about the new Sequoia is designed and constructed for maximum comfort and durability, but at minimal weight (1.37 kg, or 3 lb). For example, the hip D-rings are large for the many climbers who still appreciate this feature but as light as the smallest steel versions found elsewhere. The wide back and leg pads provide maximum comfort during long hours of ridiculously hard labor, yet are constructed of a new lightweight and breathable fabric that utilizes ingenious stiffeners to provide an impressive balance between support, weight, and product longevity. The back pad is also contoured to alleviate rib constraint, greatly enhancing operator movement. If it’s versatility you’re looking for, then check out bridge rings that can be opened using a simple Torx wrench (included) to replace or exchange the bridge, to install hardware accessories (like a swivel), or to simply better adjust your center of gravity within three available positions. For tool storage, both models have five well-anchored and generously sized, sewn nylon storage loops on the back pad as well as seven gaps in the belting material for utilizing carabiner-style holders like small or large Caritools. As for chain-saw stowage, I would recommend accessorizing with a straight-back alloy carabiner—either hip-side or mid-back. The downers? No leg storage positions and no available position for hanging a utility pouch, at least not without attaching screw links to storage loops. All in all though, I think the Sequoia will quickly gain a rep as the most comfortable saddle out of Europe in its price range.

Traditional style tree climber harness with comfortable, Bosun seat design.

The Pinnacle saddle reflects a more traditional-style tree climber’s harness, with attributes that add comfort to an often awkward and strenuous occupation. Although the Pinnacle has leg straps to keep the wearer from falling through the saddle, and to keep the seat properly located, they are nearly undetectable when working, due to soft padding and chafe resistant material. D-rings are small, to minimize irritating hang-ups while navigating thick brush, and to help greatly reduce weight. The true secret to comfort with the Pinnacle is the stitched-in “swing seat” that better distributes your weight. This Bosun seat-style design, first incorporated by European tree climbers, provides unmatched comfort without sacrificing mobility. The swing-like board better distributes your weight while sitting, and eliminates thigh pinch and knee knock, a problem often associated with a traditional seat strap saddle. The Pinnacle seat strap buckles adjust to provide the perfect center of balance. Add to this the 9" wide back support, loaded with storage positions, heavy duty material and stitching, not to mention the awesome time saving features for the split-tail climbing system, and you’ve got the modern arborist’s dream work harness. Call today for one of the most comfortable saddles you’ll ever use!

Pinnacle - Classic Versatile - Classic

The Pinnacle is modeled after the traditional-style saddle but has the added advantage of beingable to support the worker with D-rings apart.

Waist belt features sewn in gaps for accessory carabiners.

The Versatile is a unique harness that incorporates a rolling suspension system with multiple attachment points for a high variation of climbing versatility. Seven reinforced loops across the front suspension strap (including a single, mid clip-in point) allow utilization of multi-directional attachment as well as the traditional single attachment method. The leather-backed suspension strap is designed for rolling attachment as well (see HDP roller, part #15620, page 52), a method that eases back strain during strenuous work activities. On the back pad, the Versatile has a variety of loops and rings for most any arrangement of preferred tool storage, including snaps for saw attachment and several rings for carabiners and tools. The padded and reinforced seat has adjustments on either side for zeroing-in your center of gravity. Comfortable, padded leg straps help position the seat and eliminate a potential for falling through. The leg straps are not designed to support your body weight but to keep the seat in place.

Multiple attachment points accommodate virtually any climbing style.

This simple yet masterful design has been one of our top-selling saddles for several years running! The leg strap system was designed to support from underneath the legs instead of through the crotch. Climbers will appreciate the range of attachment points (7) for multidirectional support when working in precarious positions (like double-crotching) or with use of a split tail system. These primary attachment points not only provide a lower center of gravity, but hold carabiners facing forward or sideways, depending on wearer preference. Unlike the traditional-style treeman’s saddle, that puts pressure on the hips and restricts mobility, the Master offers greater flexibility by sharing support equally between the individual legs and waist to greatly improve freedom of movement. The Master has wide, adjustable leg straps, for comfort and fit to a range of wearer shapes and sizes. The hip d-rings are detached from the waist belt (instead of under them) to eleviate irritation to the waist during long work days. The back pad has lots of storage space for tools, and a single belay loop (for training or attachment of suspenders or tools). The Master is handmade of super durable 1 3/4 inch nylon webbing, quality padding and high strength forged steel hardware.

Gear Support Saddle Suspenders These suspenders attach quickly to most saddles, providing support to gear that might otherwise drag a saddle down your hips. Since few saddles come equipped with “ideal” attachment points, we have designed this suspension to retrofit most saddles.

Rope and Cambium Protector The rope and cambium protector is a product from medieval times for sure, but effective just the same. Still a leading means of chafe protection in a variety of rope uses, leather is tough, lightweight and, in this practice,

quick to employ. The thread-and-haul technique (displayed right) is simple and minimizes the many headaches associated with ground placement of other friction saving devices. The Rope and Cambium Protector is not only easy to install but nearly indestructible come removal time, brought down with an easy yank on the rope’s end. Most users keep the rope and cambium protector installed and ready for use every time the rope is utilized. After heavy use it may be helpful to introduce talcum powder inside the channel to reduce friction. Designed for lines under 14 mm (5/8”).

4 solid reasons to use a friction saving device:

• Saves tree from the cambium scalding friction abrasion. (shown to the right)

• Reduces the amount of surface wear and grit forced into critical lines.

• Reduces energy required to ascend rope when body thrusting.

• Greatly enhances friction hitch response during movement and especially descent.

Patented Buckingham Ringand Ring Friction Savers If preservation work “done right” and maintaining climbing lines is important to your company, then a Friction Saver should be readily available in your duffle bag. By utilizing a Friction Saver between your rope and the tree, you nearly eliminate burning friction to your lifeline and certainly reduce the introduction of grit and sand that is present in and on all tree bark. Only Buckingham produces “load rated” Friction Savers with hardened rings, fat enough to significantly limit rope’s bend radius. Buckingham’s anodized aluminum rings are lightweight and dissipate heat better than the steel rings, but don’t withstand abrasive friction quite as long. Some climbers are also more secure with the fact that steel rings can put up with abuse, intentional or not, better than aluminum. Buckingham’s machine-stitched friction savers have a multilayered, stiff-bodied design that insures quick installations and easy removals. The big ring end is color coded for easy identification during ground removals and installation. By using throwline, a Buckingham Friction Saver can be both installed, and removed from the ground in just minutes. Detailed instructions provided with each Friction Saver. 6,000 lb. load rating.

Adjustable Friction Saver (AFS) Thanks to encouragement f rom Atlanta-based arborist Mark Adams, SherrillTree is proud to present a popular variation to friction management that most simply refer to by its acronym, AFS. This one-size-fits-all, rope-friendly device can be set from the ground or within the crown. It’ll go around branches as small as your wrist up to tree trunks as large as the circumference of the entire device to be used as an anchor position for any type of climbing line. Once the climb is complete, simply tie an overhand knot in the end of your rope and reel in the entire system! Note: Connecting throwline to overhand knot will retrieve the AFS in a controlled manner. Friction management is not just for high-end tree service companies any more, but they’re the ones who’ve embraced the tool for reasons of safety and production. Climbers with Downey Tree Service, for example, weren’t especially thrilled with the directive to utilize an AFS on every take-down, but once they realized how much safer, easier, and more comfortable the exhausting exercise became, objections subsided! Rope runs smoother, stays cleaner, and doesn’t abrade when threaded through an adjustable friction saver. Hand-spliced by the best in the business. SherrillTree utilizes high-tenacity polyester cordage and Ital ian-made aluminum alloy rings to provide maximum strength and safety for thousands of moves to come. Based on improvement requests from Sherri l lTree customer we now make this product with considerably stiffer Dacron 3-strand line and a second small ring (lanyard end) for use without prusik when situations demands... And customers are loving it!! Under License with International Champion Techniques.

Friction Saver Prusik This accessory to our Ring and Ring Friction Saver is attached using a Prusik hitch to provide users with a fully adjustable system for creating a crotchless-based anchor point for rappelling from a vertical spar safely, which can then be removed from the ground! The shorter loop of cord can be positioned over the Friction Saver’s small ring end, to make the system adjustable with one hand (instruction included). This system can also be used as a safety lanyard (hip to hip) in a pinch.

Ring & Ring Friction Saver Accessories

The Rope Guide (friction saving device) Recipient of the 2006 Top Innovation Medal at Europe’s largest landscape trade show and invented by a German paramedic turned tree climber, the Rope Guide was designed to be all things to doubled rope-climbing technique except, perhaps, cheap. As with other friction-saving devices on these pages, the Rope Guide was developed to reduce friction abrasion to both tree and rope. To many who use it, the Rope Guide quickly gains obsession status. From its ability to choke firmly onto completely vertical or slanted stems to its smooth-as-glass rope response, stepping away from “the Guide” is like, well—being forced to walk to work. Until recently, the most important feature of this premier friction-erasing device was its smooth-rolling pulley that effectively eliminates resistance at your rope’s turning point, delivering total sensation to your friction hitch or lockjack, making ascents and repels roll along like an escalator! The latest Rope Guide is equipped with a brilliant, new lifesaving feature that can only be compared to an AIR BAG for tree climbers. That’s right—a new IMPACT-ACTIVATED SHOCK ABSORBER is now integrated into every 2007 model Rope Guide! Like an air bag, this lifesaving feature remains inactive in noncritical bumps and bounces but may save your spine in an unexpected fall exceeding 4 kN, or, in case of impact to a weak supporting tree limb, could literally save your life. But unlike a car’s air bag, the Rope Guide shock absorber can be reused to a predetermined and easily monitored limit thanks to a proprietary and patented process. This is truly an incredible product for the safety-conscious climber! Works around horizontal to vertical stems from 6 inches to 10 feet in circumference! For lines up to 13 mm (1/2 inch), it can be removed remotely from the ground but requires ascent to install (commonly by footlocking).

ART Double Snapper The Double Snapper allows controlled, remote removal of the Rope Guide. Without the Double Snapper, remote removal of the Rope Guide (from ground, post-cl imb) requires four times the amount of throwline as the distance from you to the device, often making it impossible to remove this coveted device without tying lines together or the Rope Guide falling through the tree. Double Snapper is the sound it makes when connecting to bring your Rope Guide safely to earth with only two parts of throwline. Now if they’d just make a version for ring and ring friction savers!

MagBloc Friction Eliminator This ingenious evolution of the ring-style friction saver gives critical lifelines and rigging lines a vastly improved rope running surface without significant increase in weight or bulk. Designed by Port-a-Wrap co-inventor Scott Prophett and machinist Scott Winningham, the MagBloc provides lines with two side-by-side, smooth-rolling sheaves that virtually eliminate friction while greatly enhancing bend radius for guest ropes. Just like conventional friction savers, the MagBloc can be installed or removed quickly from the ground or an adjacent tree using only throwline and weight. Once set, the two-part rope channel magically snaps together using powerful magnets inset within the system’s grooved, self-aligning frame for perfect inline action. And for rigging applications, it is now feasible to install rope protection high into a tree’s crown without climbing by using the only friction saver ever designed specifically for this hair-raising task—the MagBloc!

Warning: Never utilize for life support any products that have experienced shock-loading. For example, do not utilize rigging products for climbing activities.

HOW ART PRODUCTS WORK

The working mechanism of the ART LockJack and SpiderJack is the compact aluminum cylinder that controls running line. When load is applied, the cylinder “jacks” to one side, changing the path of threaded rope, pinching it against a smooth, concave clutch mechanism—acting much like the brakes on a car. This pinching action is very gentle on running rope, causing virtually no abrasion to the rope itself. To release the brake (to

26255 - $329

Mechanical Split Tail • Eliminate rope-on-rope abrasion• Smooth, controlled ascent and descent• Rope slack is self-feeding• No knots to tend, providing uninterrupted climbing motion• No melting knot when descending swiftly• The only CE-approved mechanical ascender/descender for doubled rope technique

Lockjack Twin The LockJack Twin of-fers a climbing experience most similar to traditional doubled rope climbing by providing (A) a long gap between climber and device to body-thrust ascend (hence, the name “Twin”). But the Twin does one better: As you pull exiting rope, the LockJack magically jumps ahead, eliminating the motion of pushing a hitch! Once aloft, shorten the system by reconnecting to its hidden eyelet (B) for a sportier action. When you’re limb walking, a light tug on exiting line is sufficient to create a taut rope above, whereas with the Sport and Spider-Jack, this action is performed purely by rope weight below.

Spiderjack Although similar in concept to the Sport, the SpiderJack is a more sensitive performer, rewarding skilled climbers with an amazing sense of line control. Operating on a wider range of rope diameters than the Twin or Sport, the Spider requires threading rope into position for use, a non-issue if you use only one end of line. You will instantly recognize smoother rope action while ascending and descending. Merely pulling on line above causes the Spider to gobble rope with a voracious appetite. This same frictionless hunger for loose rope makes branch walking and canopy exploration a gratifying reward for getting out of bed. And when it comes to descending—look out, here comes the Spider...man! For 11-mm through 13-mm lines.

Lockjack Sport Once off the ground, the LockJack Sport requires only a few pounds of rope beneath to self-tend, leaving your hands free to advance line above. Once in the crown, this feature allows the climber to walk toward the anchor point with near hands-free effort! The other primary difference between the Sport and the Twin is lack of tether. Climbers who footlock climb (ascend on two parts of rope) to destination before hooking up their split-tail have no need for a long bridge (as found on the Twin)—making Sport their choice! The optional swivel compensates for rope-twisting activity and provides optimal handle position at all times.

When limb walking, the weight of rope below the device draws slack through the device, relieving the climber of significant rope-tending activity. As with tied hitches, ART. devices have no

panic guard. Users must learn to carefully manage friction with the LockJack before taking it to dangerous heights.

SPLIT TAILS• Improve productivity• Perform redirects without untying anything• Friction-wear is isolated to (disposable) tail• Lifeline remains attached to system throughout climb

Compared to the traditional tail-tied method, split-tail brings a measure of improved efficiency and productivity to climbing. The tail-tied method requires that the climber untie the friction hitch a number of times throughout the climb to redirect line around various branches. Doing so requires complete detachment of the lifeline from the system (and sometimes line from snap, if a tight limb crotch is involved), resulting in no connection of line to climber while performing the task! Not only is the process unnerving, but untying and then retying the friction hitch multiple times in one climb is inefficient as well. And if that weren’t enough, the fact that the climber has to cut favorite and expensive lifelines short every so often due to friction wear is usually the final straw that convinces climbers to switch to split-tail climbing. A split-tail solves a lot of issues. Simply unclip the line’s end from the saddle while the friction hitch remains tied to the falling end, keeping the system attached to yourself. You can now retrieve and then re-crotch the working end of line for a quick, smooth, and measurably safer transition. There’s never need to untie and retie the friction hitch throughout the climb and, after considerable friction wear, you simply replace the split-tail without any need to cut a favorite line shorter! Although the climbing line does not have to be eye-spliced, having it spliced eliminates the need to untie a termination knot around the snap in order to retrieve the line through tight crotches.

WARNING! Always test split-tail compatibility to your climbing line at ground level before incorporating it into your climbing system! Robust climbers may require additional wraps.

Single-Eye TailsThe single-eye split-tail is most similar to the traditional method of snap-tying a rope but with two twists: The system can be redirected around branches without untying the hitch throughout a climb,

and friction wear is isolated to the disposable tail. There’s nothing for old-schoolers to get used to. If you are one of those old-school climbers, watch just one demonstration of the single-eye split-tail and you’ll recognize the value of being able to quickly and safely unclip the climb-ing line’s end (for redirecting to another crotch) while the split-tail hitch remains tied to the host line—greatly reducing the risk of ever dropping your lifeline to the ground. You can go

through an entire day without tying a friction hitch twice. The second big plus has to do with line preservation. A split-tail eliminates the need to cut off the end of your favorite climbing line

every few weeks due to friction wear. Simply replace the split-tail and life is good! If you’re not using a split-tail in your climbing system, consider changing to one of SherrillTree’s top picks for increasing production and climbing efficiency.

Eye-to-Eye Tails Eye-to-eye tails are used to create what tree climbing instructors call a “closed system,”

resulting in a finished friction hitch with both ends attached to the connector instead of one hanging loose, as with the traditional hitch or single-eye split-tail. The i-2-i

tail also allows use of several hitches that are easily learned and extremely smooth performing. By utilizing both ends of this type of split-tail, friction is more evenly distributed, resulting in more consistent friction through a knot that is less binding, yet grabs quite firmly. The system is enhanced significantly when incorporating a micropulley that fair-leads the hitch for

one-handed slack-tending. The only disadvantage I’ve heard is from seasoned climbers experienced only in body-thrusting (utilizing a long bridge between

saddle and hitch) who now must adjust to reefing hand-over-hand on the incoming line above. Once learned, though, many climbers find this practice faster and more

efficient. A small list of hitches is tested and proven to make line movement through the eye-to-eye hitch considerably more responsive to various climbing styles. Illustrated here are leading choices for safety and security. We strongly recommend you practice tying your chosen hitch until you can do it in the dark ... tying, that is.

Micro Pulley Combo This combination of 3 products can mean the difference in a good or excellent tree climb (there is no bad climb). The Micro Pulley is a great way of tending a fric-tion hitch (pushing the hitch to advance) while the swivel snap and tether make it quickly attachable to your climbing line. The technique illustrated right allows the climber to ascend by pulling on the running end of line without need of tending the hitch. Other hitch tending feats can be performed using this pulley with eye-to-eye tails as well or choose from others found on page 51.

2-in-1 SAFETY LANYARDS The 2-in-1 lanyard allows a climber to utilize both ends of one lanyard to hopscotch branches while moving within a tree’s crown. Most climbers, when challenged with ascending a conifer, for example, and unable to jettison a throw weight for line placement; attack the climb pretty much like a ladder. In this situation, a 2-in-1 lanyard is manipulated hopscotch style to keep the climber safely tied to the tree while pruning or dismantling his or her way to the top. This product is offered in either rope or rope-covered wire core (for added cut protection). Wire-core and 3-strand ropes are stiffer and are sometimes preferred for gaff climbing a standing spar, whereas braided-rope lanyards fold and pack easier.

Safety lanyards for tree climbing are identified by ANSI as “positioning lanyards” and are not designed for fall arrest (dynamic arrest) but rather to keep a climber tautly tethered to a sound anchor point in work-positioning situations to prevent a potential fall. Fall arrest requires a full-body harness with dorsal attachment of an energy-absorbing lanyard component.

Attached to lines 11 to 13 mm diameter, the KLIMAIR allows hopscotching of your safety’s attachment point without needing to be detached from the tree (just like the 2-in-1 safety lanyard using a Prusik). KLIMAIR’s unique camming action allows fine adjustment of the attached lanyard in either direction, while an integrated swiveling eye minimizes the possibility of binding under load. Although a lanyard is not easily adjusted shorter or longer while the device is under load, the convenience of one mechanism with dual purpose goes a long way in making up the difference.

Hip Prusiks With use of the 2-in-1 safety lanyard on the rise, we’ve had a lot of requests for various hip Prusik configurations. All SherrillTree hip Prusiks work well on lines 7/16 to 3/4 inch diameter but require testing on the ground before putting into high-angle service. This instant and secure rope-ratcheting device has a variety of uses and produces less wear on host lines than mechanical grabbing devices.

5-Coil PrusikAdding a fifth wrap to your prusik is an accepted and common use when the prusik is only being tensioned in one direction. In other words, this method is only viable for ascending or rigging tasks that produce or require pull in a single direction and NOT viable for bidirectional tasks like with a 2-in-1 or double-ended safety lanyard. The concept is simple; this prusik (or Schwabisch) produces the gripping results of a 6-coil prusik (at least in one direction) but without the bulk of 6 coils. This method also reduces friction produced when tending the hitch with a prusik minding pulley.

FLIPLINE LANYARDS A flipline is generally defined as a lanyard with a single, length-adjusting leg that can be cast around tree parts for various work-positioning and ascending tasks. The adjusting mechanism for a flipline might be as simple as a rope grab or as advanced as one of our three release-under-tension mechanical adjusters. An advantage of the flipline is that, no matter what mechanical adjuster is used, it can be adjusted shorter or longer with just one hand. But more important, this adjustment element resides comfortably close at the operator’s hip. SherrillTree offers two types of flipline: rope or rope with a wire core (added protection during chain-saw use).

Milled from high-grade aluminum and utilizing stainless steel pins and screws, the Positioner has the capacity to serve each climber with years of reliable safety even in our abrasive environment. The Positioner cinches into rope using a smooth-faced and non-aggressive clutch that doesn’t damage rope. This method also allows the user to release line while under tension making it extra handy for tasks requiring reaching or leaning. Climbers often seek the Positioner for it’s small size, ultra light weight and rope range accommodation, while safety directors often appreciate that line can only be removed intentionally and with use of tools.

A.R.T.Positioner This compact and lightweight rope grab device performs more smoothly than anything in it’s class. Made of aluminum alloy and with stainless steel pins the German-engineered Positioner has an ingenious clutch mechanism that provides users with feathered tension release while under load instead of the often jerk-stop action of other rope grab devices. In the accompanying image of the Positioner the hole represents the connection point for your carabiner while the shoehorn-shaped ear (right) is the low-profile release handle. Works equally well for left or right handed people.

BUCKSTRAP This relatively outdated lanyard style utilizes a friction-creating Prusik folded midline to provide the user with adjustment and full security at minimal cost. Designed originally for linesmen scaling telephone poles (which, of course, have minimal taper), the buckstrap required very little adjustment. Although used frequently by tree care workers, the buckstrap provides limited range on dramatically tapering trees. A secondary limitation of this lanyard is that the Prusik hitch (adjusting mechanism) will sometimes be located in a difficult-to-reach location on the opposite side of the tree because of the way the system is adjusted. If you like or are used to this type of lanyard, consider a Prusik-adjusting lanyard that keeps the Prusik on your hip!

SherrillTree’s TREE FROG Climbing System Single rope techniques (SRT) utilizing a rope walking system conserve a lot of energy on climbs exceeding about 60 feet by utilizing the legs for 90% of the effort. Once aloft, tree climbers usually safety-in to a nearby crotch and switch over to a traditional doubled rope technique (DdRT) in order to move freely in all directions. Thin lines (up to about 12 mm) are best for SRT because ascenders perform better on lines up to this range. The only problem with most SRT ascent systems for tree climbing is that they’re equipment intensive, requiring bulky storage.The Tree Frog system is not only simple to attach, adjust, and operate but it’s also as compact to store as anything currently available—and that’s important. The Pantin (foot ascender) and Croll (suspender-mounted ascender) can be worn throughout the climb without discomfort or interference, leaving only the handled ascender with foot strap to be stored. You can quickly engage or disengage the Tree Frog over and over for short ascents without struggle, which is sometimes helpful in tall trees where you’re able to leave the ascent line fixed and work around on your doubled line. The Tree Frog keeps your body in a comfortable, upright position, and—best of all—leaves all the work to your legs. So, if you’re in need of conserving energy for the workday ahead, hop along, little froggy! Includes Croll ascender, Secur suspenders, left-hand Expedition ascender with cow’s tail lanyard, foot strap and Pantin foot ascender. Three carabiners, harness and PPE required (but not included). Total system weight 33.6 oz.

Handled Ascenders Depending on the distance one must travel and the age, condition, and weight of the individual, handled ascenders can mean the difference in reaching a destination with energy to spare or not. Ascenders lock in one direction and can be pushed, nearly friction free, in the other. Sherrill’s handled ascenders attach midline on ropes measuring 8 to 13 mm (5/16-1/2 in. dia) and have a spring-loaded safety latch that must be manually tripped to insert or remove rope. Each is left- and right-hand oriented with the latch located thumbside for convenience and safety. Holes provide clip-in positions, depending on the application. All are made of lightweight aluminum, with formed handholds for comfort. Handled ascenders have small teeth on the cam for traction in the presence of ice and mud and will cause accelerated wear to ropes with heavy use. The most significant difference between Petzl and CMI ascenders is that Petzls have slightly curved teeth (more effective in ice and mud), while CMI uses straight, conical-shaped teeth (known to be less damaging to rope). The second most significant difference is that Petzl ascender frames are of a stamped alloy material, whereas the CMI models are milled from solid bar stock and tested stronger.

Adjustable Foot Strap The trouble with most single rope technique (SRT) foot straps is that length adjustment is cumbersome and the foot loops fall off your feet during the worst possible time. Sherrill’s foot strap quickly conforms to each wearer’s step distance, using a cam-style adjuster. A feed-through type buckle cinches down around the wearer’s boot for secure, trouble free ascent, and is easily released when needed. This strap is not designed for primary support. Rated to 1,500 pounds. (Carabiner not included)

28750 - $38

Ascender Straps These straps can be attached to a pair of handled ascenders (above) by using carabiners or oval or delta shaped screw-gate links (2 required but not included), for easy single line ascent. Although not as neat a package as having the straps stitched into place on the ascenders (see Texas system left), this system allows alternating use of ascenders depending upon other needs.

The TexasClimbing System This SRT system is the most basic of all, with each part stitched together into one compact kit. From a sitting position (on the upper ascender’s tether) the climber brings both heels under the buttocks and stands, lifting the upper ascender as they go, then it’s basically a sit, stand, inchworm motion until reaching destination. Although the technique is effective, it’s slower than other systems because here, two legs act together as one. The good things about the system are: it’s easy to learn; it is very compact (portable); and requires the least amount of time to engage and disengage from line. System weight, 32 oz.

Rock Exotica Chest Box and PMI Harness No other chest box and harness combo comes close to the comfort and functionality of this system. Simply slip the harness over your head and cinch it snug to enjoy smooth, upper-body support during long vertical ascents. The top-grade alloy chest box provides easy midline attachment with no loose parts to fall off or get lost. The extra-wide back harness provides superb comfort. Choose the single-roller chest box for traditional rope-walker systems that use foot and knee ascender locomotion, or the double-roller chest box for that and all others. Fits lines up to 14 mm.

Pantin The Pantin is a rope ascender that straps to the ankle, enabling a user to virtually grab rope with the foot. Employ a Pantin with the common doubled rope technique (DdRT) to experience the most efficient way to draw line out from behind the friction hitch. Once into the canopy, many climbers simply leave on the Pantin in place, reemploying it as necessary. Compact and lightweight, the Pantin works on 7/16 to 1/2 inch lines.

SRTThe Mar-Bar Ascending SystemIn the kingdom of ascenders, this is the top of the

food chain. The Mar-Bar system consists of two pairs of CMI ascenders, joined back-to-back (cams facing out), to create the perfect rope ladder. Climbers can now save energy for the work at hand, by making their ascent as easy as possible.

With your 1/2" rope in position, simply attach Mar-Bars to both lines, clip saddle to the strap using a carabiner (not included) and sit. Next, put your feet into the lower Mar-Bar, grab the comfortable, upper handle and inchworm to your destination. You can rest by sitting in your harness, while tethered to the upper unit. Once in position, the system can easily be lowered to the ground, in exchange for tools. When the time comes to leave, the climber can descend on a figure 8 or use a traditional friction hitch.

Experienced footlock climbers can save a lot of energy, while obtaining serious gripping power by using just the upper set. Instead of grabbing thin, sometimes slippery rope (vertically), they’ll now have horizontal handles, without the need to push up on a securing friction hitch, like the prusik.

Users can ascend one or two lines with equal effectiveness. Mar-Bar kit can be easily applied to existing CMI ascenders. Minor assembly required, detailed instructions included. Way to go Paul for a great product!

Kong’s Double Ascender Kong’s dual handled, dual ascenders provide an ergonomic power-grip that attaches midline in seconds (to single or double rope). Footlock climbers can zip up-line, with an ease they never thought possible. Lightweight, small in size and built to withstand the daily abuse of tree work make these a natural for the energy effecient arborist. For use on 5/16" to 1/2" lines, aluminum alloy construction.

The Bungee Tether (for handled ascenders) “The final link” to a great ascender system is here, thanks to the folks at Buckingham. This compact, elastic strap greatly reduces the connector from flopping between strides, while attached to the base of handled ascenders. The carabiner end is leather lined, for improved grip (carabiner not included) and longer wear, while the other end has ample room to girth hitch through your ascender’s bottom hole. Expands to 36", 5,400 lb. tensile strength.

Rock Exotica Dualcender The Dualcender was designed for use in the secured footlock technique in doubled rope technique (DdRT). Compared to using a Prusik, the Dualcender requires very little effort to advance between strides. The compact size (compared to handled ascenders) is convenient for storage during work. The Dualcender’s “toothless” design does not pick or otherwise abrade lines. Slips on rope at 4.5 kN (1,000 lbs).

The Figure 8 The figure (of) 8 is a descending device that can be employed quickly on one or two parts of 10-13mm rope to lower one’s self to the ground. The original figure 8 (#3) is often referred to as the “deaf 8” because it doesn’t have ears like the Rescue 8 (#1). Ears were first added to this rapelling device in the early 70’s to reduce the chance of the user accidentally girth hitching their life line, stranding themselves mid-line. The ears of the Rescue 8 also make it easy to perform a lock off when desired, but adds some degree of weight

and bulk. The DMM Cardiac Arrester (#2) has a special heart shape, also designed to reduce the possibility of accidental girth hitching but without the ears. Now on to my personal favorite the Petzl Piranha (#4). I recommend this new multi-faceted descender to people with good mechanical sense and climbing experience because threading it is not “customary.” With other figure 8’s I often find it necessary to double the rope or use considerable hand friction to rappel at my chosen speed. With the Piranha I can really fine-tune friction by quickly rerouting the line in several different ways.

I’D The I’D is a particularly efficient and user-friendly descender, amazingly easy to place on the rope. To descend, simply pull on the handle while holding the rope, controlling the running of the rope by varying tension on the free end. As soon as the handle is released, it locks. The I’D offers unmatched security in descent, and has an “anti-panic” function that locks action, if the handle is gripped too hard. The I’D body is made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, with a handle of very strong nylon reinforced with fiberglass. CE certified and works on rope from 10 to 11.5mm (3/8 - 7/16 inch), and the Large I’D works on 11.5 to 13mm (7/16 - 1/2 inch).

Grigri This unique belay device for ropes works much like an automobile’s seat belt. When movements are slow, the rope runs freely through the device; when there is a shock load, it locks, jamming the rope with its internal cam device. This device can help eliminate some potential belaying errors, but not all of them. The Grigri is not a substitute for skilled, vigilant belaying. Works on 10mm to 11mm (3/8”-7/16") ropes, 9.3 ounces.

15186 - $94.95

Stop Descender This special device automatically stops your descent when its handle is released; squeezing the handle enables normal descent. It is important to note that the handle is not used to control descent, or as equipment for poorly trained rappellers. Like using a Figure 8, an operator should increase friction with the control hand under the device. The handle is intended to provide a secure, hands-free stop position only. Diagram is engraved on the side for correct threading of 9 to 12mm ropes. 12.6 ounces.

Dry Powder Graphite Lube Carabiners and similar metal tree gear are best cleaned in soapy water while being tumbled to dislodge grit and other debris. Once dry though, applying oil-based lubricant merely invites further clinging debris. That’s why most manufacturers recommend dry powder graphite. Just a little dab’ll do ya.

Rock Exotica Swivels Tree climbing requires a lot of moving around while on rope, which usually means a lot of twisting. If you’re like a lot of climbers, the worst time to untwist your line comes when you’re in the most precarious positions and, although rarely life threatening, it certainly can be inconvenient. Rock Exotica developed these precision swivels to relieve just such twisting. You’ll really appreciate the smooth swivel action of sealed ball bearings inside the forged alloy body, for years to come. The Large swivel is designed to accommodate two-person loads in rescue situations, and can have up to three connectors attached in the ends.

The Micro Pulley attached by a snap to the knot in this picture, acts to “mind” the friction hitch. Normally, when climbing a tree with rope, you must pull once, then advance your friction hitch, over and over until you reach the top. The Micro Pulley holds the knot so that you need only pull rope through it. Another popular use is for a climber to hand haul himself up into the tree without having to tend his knot at all. A ground person simply pulls the falling end of line out as fast as the climber pulls himself up. The pulley blocks the knot from biting the line! The Micro pulley can be found on page 51.

Daisy Chain Use a Daisy Chain for your central hardware location to keep your hips load-free while working in certain situations. Keeps expensive tools off the ground and close by, for quick retrieval. Perfect for the person who has everything, and wants it all nearby.

Express-stitched slings The Express has specially designed webbing that narrows at both ends, ensuring proper weight distribution to an attached carabiner. A molded rubber boot keeps one carabiner firmly positioned. In tree climbing this sling is used, much like in rock climbing, to provide an extension between attachment points. Although used in a variety of creative ways, one of the most common for tree climbers is “between links” to limit metal on metal clinking or to extend one carabiner beyond another to lessen rubbing. 22kN.

Dyneema Loop Runners Dyneema Loop Runners are the latest addition to our popular selection. Dyneema (also known as Spectra) is very light-weight for its size and volume. Narrower, more flexible and even more compact than our 1 inch wide nylon runners, these Dyneema loops will surely become a favorite tool for the pruning arborist. Dyneema is one of the earliest HMWPE materials, now used for everything from ship lines to low stretch, high-strength fishing line. Rated @ 27kN

Nylon Loop Runners Loop Runners make excellent medium-duty choker straps for tree work and climbing. They are as portable as a handkerchief, yet as strong and durable as rope. Because they’re circular, you’ll rarely clip into the same spot twice, maximizing their service life by distributing wear evenly. A few of its uses include speed line chokers, line redirections, miniature false crotch support systems, a footstep where none exists, or a limb handle. ANSI standard for personal support. Rated @ 28.9kN

Dura-Web™ 2000 DURA-WEB™ 2000 Loop Runners are made with the strongest, most abrasion resistant material available in any similar 1 inch wide product. DURA-WEB™ 2000 has red core yarns, that warn of excessive abrasion. Each Loop includes a Tuftag™ detailing working load limit (based on 5:1 ratio), date of manufacture and serial number. These Loop Runners are thicker and stiffer than the loops listed above and can’t be girth hitched around a carabiner but must be simply captured within, and a steel carabiner is our recommendation. This is a great choice for light rigging duties, a little overkill for creating a foot step.

NOW WITH LARGER WINCH FOR MORE POWER Modern rigging techniques demand gear that can do more than just lower wood. The GRCS is a device that provides significant mechanical advantage for the operator to lift, pull, delete slack, lock-off and lower loads under constant control.

THE GRCS LOWERING DEVICE HAS GUTS... The GRCS incorporates one of the most powerful winches in the boating industry to create incredible lifting power. At the heart of the system is the Harken 2-speed self-tailing rope winch. With gear reductions of 22:1 in high gear and 44:1 in low gear, a single person can lift upwards of 2,000 lbs! The winch accepts ½ to ¾" diameter lowering lines with a unique self-tailing feature that holds rope tension automatically so the operator doesn’t have to. This eliminates the need for a second person to hold tension while the first cranks the winch. Try to imagine a single person with the ability to raise large limbs away from rooftops, pull split trees together for cabling, or pull large trees over, quickly and with minimal effort.

BACK BONE... The GRCS has a unique steel frame that allows mounting on a range of tree shapes and sizes. The tree mount has hinged side plates that fold to the contour of the tree and nine rubber “feet” that provide solid mounting on a wide range of stem diameters. An optional truck mount adapter plugs into any 2" square trailer hitch receiver tube, opening up a completely different set of rigging possibilities. Simple to use rope guides on the beefy steel frame keep lines from crossing over on the winch drum, allowing the operator to focus on the load in control instead of on the device. With no component weighing more that 37 lbs., setup is quick and easy.

The Good Rigging Control System (GRCS)

FRAME FEATURES The unique, angled frame may be mounted in three separate configurations to suit the rigging task:

1. Preservation Mounting – For maintenance pruning when large limbs are removed and the tree is preserved. A hinged guard prevents spike insertion and a hinged, heavy-duty rubber pad provides additional protection to the trunk. 1,000 lb working-load limit (WLL).

2. Standard Mounting – Three side spikes aggressively cut into the tree for increased holding strength. 2,000 lb WLL.

3. Cut-in Mounting – A notch is cut into the tree, and the top frame plate is placed beneath it when high-impact loading is anticipated—for example, when butt-hitching trunk wood. 3,000 lb WLL.

OTHER FEATURES A “rope captured” fair lead permits a wide range of movement without fear of rolling wraps off of the spool. A built-in entry hook guides the lowering line onto the spool. Side hooks let the operator safely tie off the load line when desired.

The H-2 comes complete with a 20' mounting strap, winch bar, and detailed graphic labels explaining proper usage, ratings, warnings, and safe operation. The H-2 weighs 58 lb.

H-2 HobbsLowering and Lifting Device Redesigned for the 25th anniversary of Edwin L. Hobbs’ original invention, this second-generation Hobbs lowering and lifting device is the definition of super-duty rope control. The new H-2 is rated for use with arborist lowering lines from ½" to ¾" diameter. Offering solid mounting, smooth and precise rope control, and increased lifting and pulling capacities, the H-2 is designed to perform on the job, on demand every day for years to come. The newly reconfigured spool is cast from hardened T-6 aluminum. With a ¾" thick wall structure, the H-2 is designed for extreme impact loading, wear resistance, and heat dissipation. Massive and maintenance-free, oil-impregnated bushings support the front and rear of the spool, which rotates on a solid steel 1-1/2" shaft!

LIFTING FEATURES Using the winch bar that is supplied with the H-2 to rotate the spool, the device uses a proven, strong, and mechanically simple ratchet and pawl mechanism to operate in the same manner as a “come-a-long” to develop lifting and pulling power. With a 16:1 ratio, the H-2 can develop more than 3,000 lb of pulling force and is rated to lift 1,000 lb. The H-2 increases its versatility by being able to remove rope slack, lift limbs, and perform other pulling and lifting tasks.

AND FLEXIBILITY! Included with your system is a separate all aluminum rope brake drum, which can be used in place of the 2-speed geared winch when all you need is falling control of large wood. This quickly switched 4-inch drum is designed to accommodate an ice pack inside to prevent rope glazing during extreme lowering situations. The brake drum also accepts ropes of any diameter. Also, an optional drill chuck is available that plugs into the handle socket to turn your gas or electric drill into a high-speed winch motor.

No other lowering/lifting device combines the speed, power, versatility and convenience of the GRCS. With this and your rigging line, the sky’s the limit.

The Port-A-Wrap III The Port-A-Wrap is a portable, lightweight friction device designed for lowering wood with ropes. This simple tool works much like the common Figure 8 (page 49), but can handle substantially heavier loads, with less chance of dam-aging lines. The Port-A-Wrap requires use of a Whoopie or eye sling (page 65) to attach it to an anchor point. The tree that is being rigged from, or a nearby one, can be used as this anchoring point in ways that do not harm the living cambium. Even a nearby vehicle can act as an anchor, as long as its attachment point is strong enough to withstand the load at hand. All Port-A-Wraps are rated at a 2,000 lb. WLL. Redesigned in 1998 by ArborMaster Training® and inventors Scott Prophett and Norm Hall, the new Port-A-Wrap III features a solid “ring design” to maximize strength to the brake and better contain a rigger’s line. The working part of the Port-A-Wrap requires only 2 to 3 wraps to bring even the biggest loads softly to the ground and has a pin through the end for cleating a load. The two steel Port-A-Wraps are plated for maximum resistance to wear and rust. The small Port-A-Wrap takes ropes up to 1/2" diameter, while the larger unit accommodates up to 3/4". With little difference in weight, and the fact that the bigger tube creates less bend to your line while providing more surface to dissipate friction, we strongly recommend the larger unit for lines exceeding 1/2". A block and tackle system (creating up to a 5 to 1 mechanical advantage), such as our Fiddle Block set, can easily be clipped into the upper eye of the Port-A-Wrap for lifting heavy limbs or to simply pretension the rigger’s line (see page 12). This technique is often employed when the target material is close to roof or gutter.

Mechanical Advantage/Tree Pulling Kit Our strongest line-tensioning system is popular among advanced riggers for quickly and effectively creating massive pulling power on rigging lines up to 13 mm. Within minutes of finding a solid and safe anchor, you’ll finish threading these sturdy Petzl blocks to produce five times the amount of tension possible without them! Made popular by ArborMaster safety trainers and search-and-rescue professionals, this type of system utilizes two Prusiks—one that holds tension between strides (after the blocks come together) while the other is adjusted longer (blocks apart) to pull again. The Petzl Twin and Minder blocks are quickly applied mid-line and without stooping to the ground with a simple procedure you can use time and time again to produce from 2:1 up to 5:1 mechanical advantage, depending on the need. Although they’re not delivered with line as a kit, you can use your own line to create a stand-alone system much like our fiddle block system. The limitations to the tree pulling kit (as sold) are that it doesn’t work in conjunction with a lowering device (Port-a-Wrap) if host rigging line is utilized (as illustrated), the system requires above-average rigging knowledge, and it requires a minimum of 30 excess feet of line’s end to make use of. Once learned, this simple mechanical advantage system is hard to forget, and even harder to live without!

Fiddle Blocks These high-strength blocks are ideal for pre-tensioning lines or lifting heavy objects. Fiddle blocks are easier to deploy than our tree pulling kit (especially for beginners) because the system is applied on top of a host line instead of involving threaded host line. Fiddle blocks are generally stored fully rigged so that you simply attach the ends to host line (via the included Prusik) and anchor (a tree, vehicle, or even host rope again, using the included carabiner on your sling or other means). The fiddle block’s limitations are that it’s tlimited to 10 feet of working spread with the included (50-foot) rope; a friction device (like Port-a-Wrap) is required to hold drawn rigging line for multiple advances; and the standard package is slightly bulkier than the tree-pulling kit. The drawing (below) demonstrates how pulling with 200 pounds of force results in a 5:1 mechanical advantage (1,000 pounds) of lift. Between pulls, a built-in cleat holds position on the line, which can be released with a snap of the wrist. Combine this kit with a Port-a-Wrap or other lowering device for the ultimate in compact power!

Kit includes two blocks, 50 feet of half-inch line with spliced eye, two steel carabiners, Prusik, and instructions.

Omni Swivel Blocks Another first from Rock Thompson are these quick-to-attach, high-strength, swiveling rope blocks. Like Petzl’s popular swivel connector (page 54), these blocks eliminate twisting from rope rigging systems with smooth, ball-bearing action. Each precision-fabricated alloy block has a unique button-activated release feature that allows instant access to the sheave for midline attachment. The milled alloy attachment eye is large enough to accept most carabiners and snaps. Rope capacity 8-13mm, 809 lbs working load limit. Note: Omni blocks don’t currently have redundant locking (double locking) cheek plate so are not approved for climbing.

SET70 $199TENEX (A) - This rope’s construction is stronger and more flexible than others because of its loosely woven, hollow construction. Since there’s no core to this rope, abrasion wear can be easily monitored.

DOUBLE BRAID (B) - The tightly woven outer jacket of this rope helps protect the load bearing inner core from abrasion. Although long used by arborists for eye slings, we find the double braid’s use dwindling, compared to its stronger Tenex cousin.

AMSTEEL (C) - Amsteel is Samson Rope Company’s brand name for Dyneema (HMPE). Pound for pound equivalent in strength to steel wire, Amsteel cordage is not only lightweight (only one-seventh the weight of wire), it’s also as soft as silk and less bulky than any other rigging material! With a braid construction that’s easily inspected, Amsteel has been widely used for more than four years with excellent results for a variety of industrial applications including tree rigging.

CMI Stainless Steel Blocks Colorado Mountain Industries, a leader in the rock and rescue industry, has a thing for stainless steel! We all know that stain-less doesn’t rust but did you know that, pound for pound, it’s harder and stronger than standard steel? Stainless steel and quality engineering are blended together to create CMI’s palm sized power house 2-ton block (our personal favorite) as well as the beefier 3-ton model (NOTICE more than double the weight) for large wood and up to 3/4 inch lines. Both blocks include a separate alloy bushing supported by a stainless bolt. The bushing bolt has a large knurled head for easy opening, even with gloves. Again, extraordinary quality at an affordable price.

ISC Spring Lock Aluminum Blocks Spring lock blocks are popular among riggers for their high strength-to-weight ratio and quick-twist rope access. Solid aluminum-alloy cheek plates, bushing, and sheave are supported by stainless-steel axles. These blocks were designed by Denny M. Moorehouse of Wales, founder of the popular work, rock, and rescue tool manufacturer DMM. Denny is often referred to as “The Wizard of Iron” and is well known for his attention to quality and toughness. For those concerned about aluminum not withstand-ing the punishment of steel, we have no record of a fracture complaint in 6 years of production. Spring lock blocks have broad cheek plates to protect running lines, and large sheaves to minimize bend in rigging lines (providing 4:1 up to 9:1 ratios). Manufacturer supplied ratings based on 5:1 ratio

ISC Stainless Steel Flame Block This 2-ton stainless steel tailboard block sports a cool flame pattern that ground-dudes will fear and chicks will love. Besides that, this new creation by the Wizard or Iron, Denny Moorhouse of International Safety Components sports the same captive support pin and bushing seen with the Springlock blocks (above) that help keep components together when working aloft. Has tightly sealed bronze bushing beneath sheave for long smooth running of rigging lines.

CMI Steel Block(zinc plated) Sherrill’s zinc-plated tailboard block is highly rust resistant and won’t chip or color-fade like similar painted steel blocks. Unlike competitive blocks, ours have s ta in l ess s t ee l a x l es a n d a captured bushing and pin that won’t fall from the tree when replacing your sling. Cheek plates swing fully open for maxi-mum rope access; bronze sleeve between axle and sheave keeps moving parts smooth.

Eye Slings The eye sling is perhaps the most versatile tether for rigging hardware. A block or other device is secured within the sling’s eye, and a choking hitch such as a cow hitch or timber hitch is tied using the other end. Although one must know knots to use an eye sling, there’s no arguing its efficient simplicity.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT! Six years ago, a good customer called to inform us that his favorite double-braid eye sling had broken during use. “His favorite” turned out to be a key factor in the sling’s demise. It had proven its great strength on so many jobs that it had earned unwavering confidence. It turned out that the sling had been in active service for over 5 years! The interior was impregnated with grit and repeated shock loading to the same few inches had long since compromised the sling’s integrity. Inspect equipment regularly and replace slings experiencing active duty every year (minimum).

Whoopie! Sling This old-fashioned choker sling can be adjusted from short to long in just seconds and is most often used by riggers to anchor a block or friction device to a tree. A Whoopie allows the rigger to mount hardware snug against the tree, minimizing slack in the rigging system. Each Whoopie sling is hand-spliced by professionals using Samson Tenex cordage (100% polyester). Made with either SAMSON

Amsteel or Tenex

Loopie Sling The Loopie is an adjustable round sling that works similarly to our popular Whoopie Sling. Right off your hip, the Loopie can be quickly adjusted to provide a snug connection to most rigging hardware. The new Loopie is lightweight, strong and folds small for storage.

The Spider LegBalancer The Spider Leg Balancer is a unique style of eye sling that a rigger attaches to a bull rope or lowering line (using a Klemheist or 3-wrap prusik), to create balance to a targeted removal. With a single lowering line, the operator is able to better control the limb’s tip and base. Using more than one Spider Leg allows the rigger to balance sprawling limbs, without the need of excessive cutting and pitching. The Spider Leg can be used as an eye sling (for mounting a block) in a pinch but the eye is unusually long and doesn’t make for a good standard use eye sling.

Sling Sizing

It is important that you convey to your crew, the dangers of mismatching hardware. One such mistake would be to install a grossly oversized sling or running line into a tailboard block. In the accompanying image we illustrate the effect of an over-sized sling flattening to produce outward pressure on a block’s side plates in a manner that can damage one or both elements. Generally our blocks have capacity to support a sling 1/8-inch larger than its designated running line capacity. Work safe, pay attention.

Speed Line Kit In the Speed line image to the right, the rigger is removing the target tree in a way as to not crush vegetation below. Control of large blocks of wood is obtained using a few simple tools and techniques. Notice that speed of the stub’s descent is limited by applying friction to the control line from the cutting position while the ground person is prepared to “sag” the speed line upon arrival of the load. Whether it’s running a speed line, hoisting storm damage off a customer’s house, creating mechanical advantage, or reacting to an emergency that no one else is prepared for, you’ll find great support inside this deluxe bag of tricks. Although most of the basics are included, you’ll discover many useful inclusions within this roomy tool bag.

Lift and Drop This drawing illustrates the ease at which heavy tasks can be managed by one or few workers utilizing block & tackle. With just a little rigging our awesome “Arbor-girl” takes on the might of several men and is enabled to first lift and then control this widow maker safely to the ground. Although she’s utilizing an HMS-style carabiner as lowering line’s friction managment, I would recommend something beefier

for heavier stuff like a Mini Portawrap (page 61). Please, exercise extreme caution whenever rigging within a tree. Make sure that what you’re rigging from is ample enough in strength to withstand an accidental shock load. Never secure yourself in to the same crotch you’re rigging from and always have ground personel within earshot to help if things don’t go as planned.


Tuflex Slings Tuflex Roundslings are high abrasion-resistant, incredibly strong slings designed for easy use and storage. The secret to their strength is the low stretch, continuous loop polyester (nonwoven) core that carries 100% of the load. All slings are covered by 2 layers of Tufhide™ nylon, for outstanding handling, comfort, and wear resistance. Unlike steel cable, Tuflex lightweight slings are not abrasive to the user’s hands or the surface that they are lifting. In a patented process, the polyester cords inside are made seamless, so there are no knots to rupture. Each sling has a stitched-in Tuftag™, designed for lifetime identification of strength, serial number and date of manufacture. If the jacket is ruptured, red core yarns provide a visual signal to the operator to retire that sling. Tuflex slings will fit through the gate of (most) steel carabiners or rigging clevis’, thanks to their unique core construction.

Lifting Slings by Lift-All Most commonly used by riggers during crane extractions of large logs or tree parts, eye and eye slings may be employed for a variety of other applications as well. Lift-All’s super strong, super duty slings rank second to none for quality, craftsmanship and abrasion resistance. Each is tagged with load specs and rating data, manufacture date and care instructions. These slings’ WLL is rated and marked by the manufacturer based on a 1/5th of tensile strength.

Carbon Fiber Geckoswith American (pointed) tree spikes

30225T (+ size) - $529

Gecko Carbon Fiber Climbers Gecko CF Climbers are the world’s first ultralight climbing gaffs that take full advantage of space-age carbon-fiber technology. These light yet strong gaffs are ideal for those who are looking for the ultimate in comfort and productivity. Gecko designers virtually walked away from the antiquated belief that heavy and bulky is best and created climbing gaffs weighing in at less than half of what wearers are accustomed to. And low weight is not all that’s amazing, because by departing the “one-size-fits-all philosophy,” Gecko was able to incorporate the slimmest, calf-conforming upper-pad design ever. The entire stirrup, shank, and upper cuff are of one solid, carbon-fiber unit, topped with a wide, comfortable, and strong Velcro strap holding a breathable and machine-washable calf pad. By melding this sleek design with carbon fiber, Gecko allows you to climb longer and with less stress than you ever believed possible. Geckos deliver excellent value. Example: A cyclist can confirm that the price for a single carbon-fiber bicycle rim exceeds $500—and often approaches $1,000! To order the correct size, simply measure from your foot arch to the base of your knee and get ready to receive one of your best work investments since breathable underwear! Small: 17”; Medium: 18”; Large: 19”; XLarge: 20”

So light you’ll hardly believe your feet!Here’s 3 other things that weigh 3.5 pounds

Geckos Ultra Light Climbers German engineers designed Gecko gaffs to fulfill the comfort needs of modern tree and utility climbing personnel without all the weight and mass associated with traditional-style spurs. Weighing in as the lightest aluminum climbing gaffs available today, Geckos provide owners with the perfect balance of gaffing effectiveness and product longevity. The primary feature that affects gaff comfort is the relationship between the human form and mechanical brace. Gecko’s aluminum alloy leg shanks were sci-entifically designed to cup the foot arch, bypass irritating contact with the ankle, and gently brace against the upper shin. There is no super-wide, triple-thick, metal-enhanced, double-strapped mattress required to keep Geckos secured to one’s leg and no steel adjustment sleeve to add weight. Geckos are sought for their unique simplicity and minimalist features, their adjustable fiberglass shin cuff with Velcro-attached washable padding, their sleek form, and, most of all, ideal comfort. Comfortable, lightweight, cool, smart spur design … what are you waiting for?

• Uniquely effective and easily sharpened spur design• The lightest climbing gaff currently available• Meets ASTM standards for strength • Comfortable, integrated and washable padding system• Wide and secure Velcro cinch straps• Contoured design provides ankle relief• Adjustable from 41 to 48 cm, in 2-cm increments

Super Wrap Pads Our most popular climbing pads have a cinch-strap system that provides a snug fit to your leg. Two different pads are available: one with steel shin support (for Buckingham climbers) and one without (for all other brands of climbers).

15088 (steel) - $139

15093 (no steel) - $105

Buc Pads Buc Pads spread leg iron contact over a larger area of your calf. Two layers of leather backed with thick felt hold the leg iron tight to limit its movement and greatly increase your comfort. Two pairs of upper straps required (not included).

15091 - $45

Steel Shin Cup Pads These felt-backed leather pads, have a built-in steel shin brace that cups the wearer’s leg to reduce exces-sive shifting. Simple, low profile design is a low price option to the Super Wrap pad (left). Compatible with Buckingham climbers only, 1 pair upper straps required.

15092 - $45

Triple Thick T-Pads These t-shaped pads are made with two layers of leather backed with thick felt. Unlike loop and loop pads these have a stitched tunnel that holds the leg iron firmly to reduce leg iron movement and increase wearer comfort. One pair upper straps required (not included). These do not work with Talons.

15090 - $36

WARNING! WARNING! Spikes are moderately to extremely harmful to tree health, and should only be used on removals. Climbing “maintenance trees” without spikes is far easier than it was just a decade ago. If you haven’t learned to prune without spikes, your prospects for success in this industry are growing limited. Climbing gaffs are intended for use by professionals and properly trained individuals ONLY. If you’re shopping for a safe and easy way to get into a tree to hunt or play, you should consider ascenders (page 46). Either way, you’ll need a saddle, safetystrap and overhead line with basic instruction to keep from injuring or possibly killing yourself.

Spyderco Assist 1Assist I w/ 30/70 SpyderEdge

30254 - $87

I was blown away when I tried the rope cutting feature on 3/4" double braid; it sliced cleanly through with little pressure! The handle has a survival whistle that is high pitched enough to be heard great distances. A reinforced wire pocket clip screws onto either side for both left and right handers. A carbide breaker is exposed when the closed knife is squeezed and retracts when pressure is released. (Closed length 6 in.)

Kershaw Scallion31104 - $45

The Scallion offers simple, ergonomic design. It features a 2 ¼” partially serrated steel blade, SpeedSafe ambidextrous opening system, removable clip, and the tip safety lock system. (Closed length 3 1/2 in.)

Kershaw Black Chive31101 - $69

A winner of Blade Magazine’s “American Made Knife of the Year” award, this all steel black on black knife is as sharp looking, as it is sharp. This great little knife features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous opening system, a removable clip, gift tin and the tip lock system to provide added security to ensure that the blade will not deploy while clipped into you pocket. (Closed length 2 7/8 in.)

Day Pointer Green Laser How many minutes per day can you, the company owner, or a well-paid foreman save by instantly pointing out specific branches, trees, or even buildings important to the day’s agenda? Now multiply that by an entire year and then by your hourly rate to see just how affordable this product really is. Minimizing communication errors is as important to the bottom line of your tree care operation as it is to any other service-oriented business, perhaps more so since the targets are always out of reach. The more customers understand about your work, the more comfortable and confident they’ll be with your service! Until recently, the only color option available for laser pointing in daylight hours was red, perhaps the weakest spectrum visible to the human eye. Advances in laser technology have made affordable one of the strongest spectrums there is, GREEN, and yes, it shows up on leaf and trunk like flashlight on a white shirt! Use your Day Pointer to propose cable locations, branches to be pruned, a crotch for throwline, hazards such as bees or hollows, areas of decay, and much, much more. This is not only the brightest, but THE STRONGEST laser you can buy in America without special licensing. Green spectrum laser @ 4.99 mW, requires 2 AAA batteries (included), range of 12,500 feet (less in daylight), weighs under 3 ounces and comes with a premium steel case for protection. Class 111a laser, with an operating lifetime of 3000-5000 hours. Comes with a 180-day warranty. Warnings: Don’t drop, store in case, don’t shoot in eyes. Do not store in temperatures below freezing, or above 110º.

30416 - $59.95

Brought to us by customer Mike Kraus, of Hilo, Hawaii.

“I’ve been looking for a laser like this for over 5 years. I’ve tried all sorts, but none could perform like the laser I discovered at SherrillTree. We’re making them standard equipment for arborists in our branch and I feel confident that others will soon follow.”

- Eric Fowler, operations manager

Spyderco HarpyHarpy w/ Spyder-edge

30267 - $93

Harpy is designed for controlled pulling cuts. The hawkbill shape comes from the marine/commercial fishing industry where severing rope, line, webbing or netting is done at arm’s length, quickly and effectively. Dent in the locking lever allows for gripping the handle tightly without accidently unlocking the blade. Blade is hollow ground. (Closed length 4 in.)

SpyderBugSpyderBug w/plain edge blade

30255 - $34

Small but mighty, “the Bug” is a lockback, mini-Spydie for your keychain or pocket. Made with the same high-quality materials as the rest of the Spyder line, including Spyder’s trademark thumb-hole. (Closed length 2 1/2 in.)

Spyderco DelicaDelica w/ SpyderEdge blade

15856 - $67 Delica w/ plain edge blade

15855 - $67

The Spyderco Delica blade is a formulation of high-grade carbon and steel that holds a razor-sharp edge. Titanium Carbonitride is bonded to the steel for years of rust-free use, while providing a Rockwell hardness of RC-90. Note the Spyderco trademark thumb hole that allows the user to open the blade one-handed. The Zytel handle combines strength with light weight. Zytel is a nylon composite reinforced with 33% glass fiber. Patented “volcano grip” texture offers sure grip and maximum control, and is fashioned with a lanyard hole. (Closed length 4 in.)

Spyderco RemoteRelease IIRemote Release w/ SpyderEdge blade

31106 - $59.95

The Remote Release’s spring loade shackle clip fastens to a carabiner, belt loop or ring and releases by pulling back on the textured release pin. The model permits releasing and one hand opening without having to rotate the knife in the hand. Kraton handle insets inhibit skidding in the hand. Lanyard hold for backup/secondary cord attachment. (Closed length 4 13/16 in.)

Kershaw Leek31103 - $65

A well-balanced, bead-blasted stainless steel knife we selected due to its quality construction, materials and value. The Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous opening system, removable/reversible pocket clip, partially serrated 440A steel blade and the tip safety lock system to prevent the blade from deploying while clipped into your pocket. (Closed length 4 in.)

Kershaw NationalGeographic Multi-Tool31102 - $55

The National Geographic Society and Kershaw have collaborated to produce this carabiner knife and tool combination. High-carbon stainless steel blade honed to Kershaw’s “shaving sharp” edge 6061-T6 (partially serrated) with thumbhole pull, black anodized aircraft aluminum handle, flat and Phillips head screwdrivers, bottle opener and carabiner. Spring-loaded gate holds tool securely closed until released by user. Locking liner for safety. Clips to harness, gear bag or belt loop. (Closed length 4 1/8 in.)

Articulating Stilts Ever been faced with a virtual forest of ornamental trees, myrtles or hedges to prune? How about Christmas lights or decorations to string (or take down)? With help from a single ground person, it’s possible to outperform a small army of workers wrestling ladders and tools and STILL DO A BETTER JOB! With just a few hours of practice, a coordinated individual will be amazed at how easy and comfortable these articulating stilts are to walk in. Perhaps you recall the 2002 Winter Olympics where a group of actors performed a dance on these very stilts at a breathtaking pace. If precision pruning and maximum production are important to you, or you’re tired of waltzing a ladder 360 degrees around every patient, consider this one of the easiest investments around to recoup. Aluminum alloy, adjustable from 24 to 40 inches, load limit not to exceed 225 pounds.

Folding head for carrying aloft

Hayauchi If the boss buys you nothing else this year, make sure it’s Silky’s extendable polesaw...oh, and a Silky handsaw, of course! The key to the Hayauchi’s effectiveness is its lethal blade. This 16” blade not only sports the largest teeth available in a razor tooth design, but also has a sharpened base and tip for scoring the branch, to avoid ripping damage to the branch collar. Hayauchi comes with its own full length, hard plastic scabbard, to protect neighboring gear. The Hayauchi polesaw has rigid aluminum poles that quickly extend to cutting length. The base pole has a comfortable sponge rubber grip. The extensions lock with spring loaded buttons at the end of each length. Makes a great ground saw!

Hayate Improvements to the new HAYATE over the earlier, and well-proven Hayauchi include stronger poles (although still destructable by large falling branches) an improved locking system, thicker handle padding and a somewhat improved blade scabbard. It’s hard to brag about this tool when, compared to its less expensive predecessor, the HAYATYE is shorter (by 1 ft), and heavier (by 2 lbs!). We’ll let the customers decide.

20 ft. polesaw 30592 - $279Replacement blade 30814 - $63

Longboy Introduced at the 2005 Tree Care Industry Show, Silky’s new Longboy became an instant hit! In short, the Longboy is lightweight (4.3lb), sturdy and armed with an aggressive 14” impulse-hardened curved blade. The Longboy is also telescopic from 4.8’ to 12’ providing the average operator with a 16’ reach! The high-tech alloy steel blade maintains superior wear resistance while reducing drag and concentrating cutting energy. Translated- more cutting efficiency with less effort. And to add to the ease of use, Silky has incorporated a cushy comfort-grip handle to reduce fatigue and improve grip when wet. All of that’s topped off with the durable polypropylene sheath to protect the blade (as well as your valuables) when not in use.

Polesaw 31033 - $179Replacement blade 31159 - $39

Zübat Zübat’s heavy duty, 330mm curved blade is suitable for cutting large or small branches. The pole itself is 1200mm, reaching 2700mm when fully extended (including blade). Also, the pole is oval shaped to ensure rigidity when sawing.

Hook Fox This handy hook option fits Silky’s Hayauchi, Longboy, Zübat and Hayate polesaws, using the same bolt hardware that holds the cutting head in place.

ARS’s 10 ft. and 20 ft.Polesaw “Convertibles” Choose from 2 systems, one for maximum reach when extended (20 ft.) and the other for maximum portability in your vehicle (5 ft. collapsed). Other than portability we have no additional recommenda-tion (to arborists anyway) for choosing the smaller version. What we would recommend is either of these awesome telescoping polesaws sought widely for their versatility and fast cutting reputation. Both have button-release cutting heads for quick conver-sion to a pole pruner (optional component required). Whatever the choice, you won’t go wrong with these high quality Japanese-built pruning systems!

LongReach™ PrunersTelescoping This sweet new addition to the ARS lineup is all the rage among landscapers and tree services for light-duty, high-production pruning. All pruning tools have their size limit, and this one tops out at about an inch diameter but performs in rapid succession. Designed from the handle up for serious cutting tasks, the telescoping ZR Series pruner from ARS has all the right stuff for reaching into small, ground-level bushes up to large ornamental trees with its swing-neck head and 6- to 10-foot rigid extendibility. Comfortable trigger design for rapid-fire cutting. Drop-forged blades with slim tip for easy limb access.

31572 - $133

Fixed Length This is ARS’s most powerful LongReach™ pruner! The lightweight aluminum arm is topped with their biggest cutting head and thickest trigger rod to provide extra cutting power. Thanks to ARS’s advanced cutlery technology, the hard-chrome plated blades keep a sharp edge longer and resist rust and corrosion. Another fantastic design feature allows you to swivel the pruner head in any direction without moving the handgrip! Although the cutting diameter is about 3/4 of an inch, wood hardness defines true capacity. (1.8 lbs.)

Extension Poles Jameson is America’s leading manufacturer of heavy-duty, utility-grade, fiberglass poles, produced in both HOLLOW and CORE-FILLED versions. Core-filled poles have higher dielectric properties (are batch tested to 100kV), are noticeably more rigid, but weigh virtualy the same as the hollow (yellow) series. Jameson’s new (green) “economy” series poles are built to compete but not compromise! You get the same Jameson quality but in a lighter construction, similar to some “Jameson wannabees.” NOTICE! Add an “F” to the end of the part number to exchange bottom (male) ferrule for a rubber boot to create a “base pole.”

Convertible-Head Combo - The cutter head is affixed to an adapter that quickly connects to or disconnects from the female end of our pruner poles without the need for tools. If the pole is somehow destroyed the head will convert to another.

Marvin PrunerCombinations This lightweight bypass pruner has a cast aluminum base and all steel hardware that makes it a favorite among the climbing crowd. Cuts up to 1.25 inches.

Fixed-Head Combo - This economical yet permanent method of affixing the cutter head to it’s host pole eleminates the ability to switch heads between poles. Although a limiting factor some appreciate the rigid connection.

Marvin Bull PrunerCombinations This new release from Marvin is merely an upsized version of the most dependable and trusted limb pruner on the market. Cuts up to 1.75 inches.

Corona Bull PrunerCombinations This heaviest in our pole lopper line produces significant cutting power by utilizing a long lever arm and compound rope action to cut branches up to 1.75 inches.

Proper Cutting Technique

This image illustrates two different points about pruning cuts; “NO, YES, NO” points out the correct cut location for a tree to properly compartmentalize the wound. A and B show how to cut weight off of a limb and avoid tearing the branch collar.

Ergonomic Pole Grips

Tired of watching all the great ergonomic ideas pass us by? Well, apparently so did SherrillTree customer Paul Hendrix. Paul recognized this as a smart addition to the most wrist-straining exercise ever invented: pole-sawing. The ergonomic grip can be attached to round or oval-shaped poles under 1 ½” diameter in just minutes, providing the operator a perfectly positioned pistol grip that greatly increases cutting power while decreasing wrist and arm stress. Packaged as illustrated with thumbscrew hose clamp hardware and heavy-duty polymer grip. Use for ground or climbing saw, rake, push broom, etc. Will not work with Silky saws.

ARS Pony Saw(13" blade, razor tooth) This saw can be used upside down, for ergonomically comfortable cutting of even the biggest branches!

Fanno ProTooth (21" blade, pro tooth) Unlike a chainsaw blade that carries debris out in one direction, handsaws “clog” if chips aren’t removed effectively. The Fanno ProTooth is basically an update to the conventional tooth design but more effectively removes chips from the kerf. It is not a “razor tooth” design. Take a step into the future with experience from the past with the Fanno ProTooth.

ARS Handsaws Fans of the popular ARS-brand saws are really going to love these new, fast-cutting saws and their innovative scabbard. ARS saws are a favorite of customers because of their comfortable handles and nickel/chrome plated, sap-repelling blades with impulse-hardened teeth. The new and innovative scabbard has a patented roller system to defend the opening from blade damage, a saw-release button conveniently located for thumb action, and a belt clip that can be flipped to either side (left- or right-hand use). Even better, the scabbard is designed for wearing on the leg if so desired!

Natanoko(7.5 teeth per 30mm, 20 in. overall length) Mono-construction is Silky’s term for a solid, well balanced handsaw. The Natanoko’s 330mm blade is ideal for fast cutting larger branches. Another great feature is the rubber hand-grip that encases the blade extension to absorb vibration while cutting.

Gomtaro(8 teeth per 30mm, 16 in. overall length) When the cutting gets tough, the Gomtaro gets cutting. Silky matches this high performance blade with a comfortable and flexible rubber handle that really sticks in your hand. The Gomtaro comes with a hard plastic scabbard, great for climbing. It has a hinged belt loop with carabiner hole, for your choice of attachment.


Ginga (10 or 18 teeth per 30mm, 18 in. overall length) The Ginga is further proof of Silky innovation. It features a quick-release blade design and a smartly embossed aluminum sheath with flexible, rotating belt-clip. The Ginga is well balanced and the blades come with either fine or regular teeth. The finer the tooth, the smoother the cut.

Prosentei(8 and 14 teeth per 30mm, 17.5 in. overall length) An innovative dual-purpose saw with both fine and coarse teeth on one blade. Fine teeth (14 teeth/30mm) at the tip of this 300mm blade leave a smooth finish to smaller cuts while coarser teeth (8/30mm) along the base of the blade cut larger branches faster. A round blade tip prevents accidental damage to trees and shrubs. The Prosentei is lightweight, easy to grip and high-vis yellow – 3 good reasons to not leave it behind.


Yamabico(6 teeth per 30mm, 18.75 in. overall lengthtop edge: 10 teeth per 30mm) Japanese for “my teeth are pointing everywhere” (okay, not really), Yamabico has one of those features only a production-oriented arborist can appreciate. Now you can quickly perform the perfect undercut every time to keep a limb’s own weight from splitting the branch collar. This feature also makes lining up the two cuts quicker and more accurate. Although some workers will find it odd at first (if they embrace it at all), I think many will really like Yamabico, and perhaps the feature will find its way onto more saws in the future. It’s not only novel, but it’s actually quite functional.

Zübat(7.5 teeth per 30mm, 18 in. overall length) This heavy duty, professional curved saw has a 330mm long blade, suitable for cutting large branches.

Sugoi(6.5 teeth per 30mm, 24.5 in. overall length) Suitable for pruning large branches at any height, the Silky Sugoi professional arborist saw has razor-sharp and ultra-fast cutting teeth designed for efficient chip removal. The large, curved blade performs incredibly well through even the biggest branches—enough so that climbers will find it the best excuse yet to leave powered saws on the ground. Like most Silky handsaws, the Sugoi’s beefy blade extends throughout the SureGrip handle for extra rigidity. Nicknamed the TREE TIGER by Silky fans, the Sugoi (Japanese for incredible) comes with a unique, high-visibility plastic scabbard that can be attached to the belt or leg (leg strap included).


Kamisorime(6.5 teeth per 30mm, 26.5 in. overall length) You’ll need both hands to tame this wood-eating tiger! The Kamisorime is the latest addition to Silky’s arborist saw lineup but with the first-ever two-handed handle. Of course, one hand will do in a lot of situations, but now—when the going gets tough, the boys can REALLY get going.

Ibuki(6.5 teeth per 30mm, 24 in. overall length) In the Silky family, Ibuki is big daddy. Japanese for “big axe,” Ibuki has the biggest, thickest and largest toothed blade of all the family. The blade can even be used in the Hayauchi polesaw (page 84). Ibuki is finished with a comfortable, sure-grip handle and the scabbard has both ring and strap attachments that can be used on the left or right side.

Orchard Ladder(Available with Telescoping Leg)

An orchard ladder is to the arborist what an extension ladder is to the electrician. And the difference in the two is almost as significant, for the orchard ladder balances on uneven ground beyond anything made possible by two- or four-legged ladders! The genius behind this stability can be traced back to the invention of the three-legged stool. Since the dawn of furniture, it’s been known that three legs give superior balance to stools that must cope with uneven surfaces (such as floors). In short, with one leg on a

Cross Sight Tree Height Gauge Designed to assist an arborist in taking accurate informa-tion about the height and lean of a tree. The Cross Sight is a pocket-sized height measuring gauge that you rest on the bridge of your nose. Measurements are made using the age old technique of equal sided triangulation with one corner of the triangle being your eye. Side lean, back lean and lift calculations can all be determined with the Cross Sight. The easy to use charts printed on the sides of the Cross Sight are designed to perform quick calculations in the field.

TruPulse 200 Laser Rangefinder From the moment you get your hands on the TruPulse 200, you’ll know it was created with your needs in mind. Weighing a mere 8 ounces, TruPulse fits in the palm of your hand and measures height, distance and closest to farthest variances between objects, giving you a highly flexible, extremely usable tool for your field measurement needs. Its large, crystal-clear optics with an in-scope data display and through-the-lens targeting help eliminate parallax issues, and we incorporated an adjustable eye diopter for comfortable use even when wearing glasses. The integrated tilt sensor provides accurate height measurements, even on steep hills. Best of all, this impact-, water-, and dust-resistant compact unit delivers more than just one measurement at a time—it calculates horizontal, vertical, and slope distance with a single press of the fire button. TruPulse can adapt to varying conditions and save you untold time in the field. The standard serial port allows for easy transfer of your data once it’s been collected. The only thing not engineered into this unit is a big price tag.

bump and the other in a dip, the third leg acts as a prop, nullifying the possibility of teetering, as occurs with a fourth leg. For tree trimming, you can free-stand the ladder under a canopy to access up to 20 vertical feet, and that’s before inclusion of a pole pruner or saw! Or you can prop the orchard ladder with its wide stance against trunks with even the most horrendous root surface. Got any stories about trying that with an extension ladder? With small trees and shrubs, you can gently poke the third leg through the foliage or fold it over the canopy, allowing access over the plant in a fashion possible only with this three-legged giant. This year, by customer request, we have a telescop-ing leg available for ladder use on steeper terrain. We’ve also adopted a tether for the third leg, making it safer to use the ladder on paved or smooth surfaces.

Log Ox Log Hauler SherrillTree brings an old-time log moving technique into the 21st century for tree workers needing to transport whole logs from back yard to front. Newly redesigned for heavy payloads, maximum log diameter and ultra-portability the Log Ox is not only heavier-duty but quickly storable with its telescopic handle and quick release wheels.

The Log Ox is a simple yet power-ful device for rolling heavy lengths of lumber (up to about 15-feet long) including logs, steel beams, railroad ties and the like by man or machine. The t-handle is now able to accommodate left or right side adjustment for 1 or 2 workers. A steel loop at handles end allows pulling with four-wheeler or light tractor. The Log Ox comes with steel tongs for quickly grabbing wooden cargo within 14-inch diameter. For larger loads or steel beams a chain (included) can be

wrapped and hooked almost as quickly. Many tree services resell clean, straight logs to lumber mills and need to get them to the curb whole, while others simply like the convenience of toting long sections to curb or chipper. This often saves time and labor of cutting into firewood-sized stubs to be hand-carried. The Log Ox moves rounds up to 14-inch diameter and 15+ feet long. Now ships UPS. Minor assembly required.

Groundskeeper II“The Best Twig and Mulch Rake Around!” After trying this new rake design out at home, I considered tossing it in the trash. The Groundskeeper was complete overkill on leaves and darned near tore a blank spot in my yard. The fol-lowing week, after reporting back to my buyer what a joke it was, he forwarded an e-mail from the inventor requesting I test it on clean-up of twigs, bark, or stump grinder chips. “Fair enough,” I said. Several weeks went by before I tried it again, but indeed, this rake moves sticks & twigs, grinder chips, bark & mulch and even gravel like nobody’s business. The round and stiff tines of the Groundskeeper work differently than the flat, flexible tines of other rakes. While flat, flexible tines are great for gathering leaves without disturbing the ground, the Groundskeeper tines sacrifice a little grass to get the job finished and workers in the truck! Even better, I discovered that the Groundskeeper does a killer job of removing leaves from bushes by allowing green stems to pass between tines without harm. This rake must be used to be believed. 21-inch head, 28 steel tines, 55-inch fiberglass handle, 2 pounds.

Gauge is the thickness of the drive links that ride in the guide bar groove. The most common chain gauges are .043", .050", .058" and .063".

Pitch is determined by measuring the distance between three rivets and dividing by two. Chain pitch must match the pitch of the drive sprocket and guide bar nose sprocket.

Do not run an old chain on a new sprocket, or a new chain on an old sprocket. Use two new chains in rotation with each new sprocket so all can wear together. Replace sprocket every two chains, or sooner.

Chain tension is especially important when the saw is tipped on its side during felling cuts. Loose chain (and rim-type sprocket, if used), will slide down and out of alignment with the bar. Loose chain tension is the leading cause of sprocket problems.

NOTE: Oregon recommends using a 3/16" file for all 20 series chain.

Depth gaugesmust be set properly.Depth-gauge settingand depth-gauge shapeare critical toperformanceand safety.

Your “Cutting Team” The power from your chainsaw drives the sprocket, and the sprocket drives your cutting chain at high speed around your guide bar.Your sprocket, chain and guide bar are the three components of your saw’s “cutting team.” It’s the cutting team that does the actual work of cutting, and your sprocket is an essential member of the team. Your drive sprocket, the third member of the cutting team, deserves regular attention and maintenance just like your bar and chain. A misused sprocket will cause patterns of wear that can damage the guide bar and reduce the life of all three components. A damaged sprocket cannot be repaired; it can only be inspected and replaced.

Eco-arborist To work properly, chainsaw chains and bars must be lubricated. Petroleum-based lubricants are non-biodegradable, and when dispersed upon the ground, remain in the environment indefinitely. Petroleum bar oils are; proven to create carcinogenic vapors breathable by users; capable of causing discomforting eczema and irritation of the respiratory tract as well as oil acne. Vegetable oils (specifically Canola) has been extensively tested and proven a superior lubricant having excellent lubricity, resis-tance to shear, a high flash point and high viscosity in-dex. In addition they are biodegradable w i th in 21-days , produce no adverse health affects and are easily washed from clothing. First appearing in the European forestry marketplace in the mid-1980s, canola-based products are now well accepted and in some cases have completely replaced petroleum-based chainsaw bar oils.Text gleaned from US Department of Agriculture Fire Management Tech Tip Nov. 1998.

Why use a grinder? Sharpening your saw chain with an Oregon® bench grinder has a major advantage. It is faster and more consistent than hand filing and you will get a sharpened chain that is closer to the factory setting. An important factor in sharpening saw chain is to have a chain that is consistent from cutter to cutter, which is accomplished when using a grinder.

Pferd® Chain Filing System (A) This is the easy-to-learn filing system that makes your saw chains cut like magic. The secret lies in its ability to sharpen cutters and depth gauges to the perfect edge and height. For years, professional saw users have been baffled by one sharpening device after the next, each one more complicated than the last. This system is so simple that a novice can sharpen chain better than many seasoned professionals. With each stroke, Chain Sharp forces the round file up into the top plate of the tooth, instead of down into the gullet, while the flat file shaves the depth gauge down to the perfect height. Proper angle is displayed at user’s thumb. You’ll make old chains cut like new with this easy to use, and fully compatible filing system.

Echo Power Pruner PPT-265 In the early ‘90’s SherrillTree was the first outdoor power equipment supplier to introduce Technitool’s Power Pruner and today we’re proud to see it’s acceptance among most outdoor gardening professionals. If you haven’t already, put Echo’s chainsaw-on-a-stick to work for your crew and cut ladder shuffling and short climbing tasks out the everyday routine. Powered by Echo’s popular 25.4-cc 2-cycle engine, the Power Pruner sports a silky smooth-cutting, 12-inch bar to slice through beefy branches in the time it might otherwise take to retrieve a polesaw. The heavy-duty fiberglass pole extends from 7 to more than 12 feet to provide excellent reach both vertically and horizontally. From the ground this provides the average worker about 17 feet of vertical reach and from an aerial lift bucket, approximately 14 horizontal feet. With the Power Pruner’s durable and telescopic drive shaft, you can run the chainsaw anywhere between retracted to fully extended while realizing maximum engine torque. And finally, Power Pruner’s unique oil reservoir at the cutting head keeps the chain lubricated and the bar cool.

Honda-Powered Portable Winch Found yourself in a jam? Break out the most portable gas-powered winch around and set your problems free! Simply anchor Portable Winch to a tree, truck, or other solid anchor and wrap any length rope to its capstan drum to realize up to 5,000 pounds of dependable pulling power! The 50-cc (2.5 hp), 4-cycle Honda engine powers a 3-stage 110:1 ratio gearbox that turns its capstan drum to about 40 feet per minute. Off of that an operator receives about 2,500 pounds of pulling force on single line. By adding a single pulley onto the targeted load and doubling the winch line an operator can produce the stated 5,000 pounds of pull at 20 feet per minute. To operate, simply start the engine on the ground and the capstan drum rotates, awaiting your line of choice. Next, anchor the Portable Winch by attaching its hooks to either a tree-wrapped polyester sling, or the optional Hitch Plate that’s quickly slipped over any 2” trailer-hitch ball. Then, merely wrap your tow line around the capstan drum and you’re ready to roll. Any length line can be used because nothing

is accumulated on the capstan drum. When load is applied (by drawing tension on the line), the motorized device rises up and inline with anchor and load until you release tension to the line. It’s just that easy.

The Portable Winch weighs 34 lbs.

No-Spill® Fuel Cans We’re always on the lookout for quality products to make your job easier and safer. So, when No-Spill® fuel cans were recommended for their ease of use and rugged dependability by a Michigan based arbor-buddy, we had to check them out. We found No-Spill® fuel cans all they were cracked up to be… safer, cleaner, faster and environmentally friendly. The No-Spill® spout is fully user controlled; insert the spout into the tank opening, tip verti-cally, then press the button to begin a controlled pouring action. When you’re ready to stop, simply release the button. No-Spill® fuel cans minimize overflows, especially on smaller equipment by putting instant “flood control” at your finger tip! They feature the fastest pouring spill-proof nozzle available featuring a pour rate of up to 3 gal/min (compared to other brands at 1.5 to 2.0 gal/min). The tapered 3/4” spout easily fits even smaller chainsaw and trimmer tanks. Semi-translucent can lets you easily see your fuel level for mixing and helps reduce overflows during re-fills. Thumb button locks securely for transportation and storage. No spare parts to assemble or keep up with between jobs either. Legal in all 50 states.

“The only can thatlets me fill my chainsaw

without spilling or overflowing.”

“The most user friendly, precise pouring can on

the market.”

Avoiding The Pinch Although an obvious technique for much of the seasoned crowd, I only recently learned this trick from NJ tree climbing champ and treebuzz.com founder Mark Chisholm. When cutting a stump it’s possible to pack the kerf with shavings (sha/vingz see page 85) in such a manner as to keep the weight above from pinching the bar. Simply cut using the top of the bar instead of the traditional bottom.

stretch-air chainsaw pantsChainsaw Protected Pants

(For details about this product’s extremely tough Nanosphere fabric technology, please read the accompanying text on Stretch-Air Climbing Pants) This year SherrillTree is proud to introduce Pfanner’s incredibly tough, yet comfortable chainsaw-jamming pants designed both for ground operations, as well as climbing duties. Gladiators are made (on the backside) with the same rough and tough, abrasion and oil resistant fabric that American tree workers have come to love about our popular Stretch-Air trousers, but with the added feature of class 1 chainsaw protection in front. Gladiators are lightweight and hard wearing pants with reinforced, rip-stop fronts, shielding 6-layers of UL-approved chainsaw jamming fibers of high-tenacity polyester and Dynema. For coolness, Gladiators are lined with special air circulating; moisture-wicking fabric while the back panel is highly breathable and elastic (Nanosphere fabric). Hips and right rear pockets zip-close to keep out chips and debris while the right thigh brandishes a felling wedge and tool pocket that’s uniquely detached from the pants at the bottom to keep contents from poking the leg. The leg bottoms have sewn-in cuffs that do an awesome job of fending off ticks as well as deflecting saw chips from shooting up your legs. All in all these pants offer the highest level of protection of any arborist/logger work pant ever seen or offered in the US. Make your next investment one you’ll forever be proud with Pfanner Gladiator chainsaw pants. Life’s a battle, protect yourself. Tick and chip protection!


Climbing Pants Who in their right mind might spend the price of a new leather jacket on one pair of specialty climbing pants? Perhaps tree climbers interested in the ultimate in toughness, comfort and functionality. Stretch-Air pants were designed by tree working rock climbers in Austria and are made with the latest in Nano-fiber technology. Not only is this special fabric as tough as it comes, but also has a microscopic finish that imitates a leaf’s scaly surface to slough off dirt, oil, and water.

I first witnessed the extraordinary resilience of this fabric in 2006 while visiting climbing friends in Germany, where a lot of climbers wear Stretch-Air clothes. At a store that sold the product, there was a fabric demonstration in the showroom. A foot-long section of 1-inch aircraft cable, terribly frayed on one end, was lying beside two squirt bottles, one filled with honey and the other with water. The clerk first took the aircraft cable and jabbed the frayed end into the fabric to the point that I could see the cable strands sticking out the other

side. With that, he scraped down the fabric in a manner that would have destroyed comparable fabrics. When he pulled away, you could not detect even a minor disturbance in the fabric surface. Next, he squeezed a big glob of honey on his fingers and massaged it into fabric. After seriously overdoing this part of the demo, he used the squirt bottle of water to rinse the sticky mess off like dust from a windshield! This truly spoke to the durability and goo resistance of the fabric, but the real endorsement came from two climbers visiting the store, both in new-looking Stretch-Air pants. I asked them how long these pants generally last, and they both said the pairs they were wearing were more than a year old! Made with, among other materials Lycra, Stretch-Air pants stretch exceptionally well to provide tremendous freedom while climbing. They also have a reinforced and gusseted crotch for comfort and durability in an area of pants that’s often first to rip. Pockets with Velcro flaps on the thighs take advantage of an area not covered up by the harness, while hip pockets are zippered to keep the chips out of your change. Back pockets don’t exist because, according to the designers, “they’re useless to treeclimbers”… and women who adore them. Knees and ankles are reinforced with Kevlar patches for added abrasion resistance. The ankles are zippered and have Velcro adjusters to fit snugly over boots.

These pants are not chainsaw protective.

Arborwear is not just about a sharp, professional look for your working crew, but also about function. Each product was designed specifically for durability in the face of adversity on the jobsite. Arborwear is a brand that covers your back during adverse conditions and keeps you looking great in the process!

Chaps with lower leg wrap-around

Husqvarna Chainsaw Pants According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were more than 28,500 chain-saw injuries in 1999, with the average injury requiring more than 90 stitches and costing in excess of $12,000 for health care and lost wages. It’s likely that the majority of chain-saw injuries are to inexperienced users, but it’s believed that the most severe happen to professionals—those of us feeling quite comfortable with the biggest, most powerful of screaming power saws. Although a great many American saw users do not wear saw protection, I personally know a lot of pro-arborists who do (some having met or eye-witnessed someone injured) and who are long past the mind-hurdle that a $100 dollars or hot legs is too much to pay for employees required to run different saws all week. Husqvarna chain-saw protective “summer pants” can be worn all day just like regular pants and are machine washable. The articulated knees reduce pull at the waist when bending and stooping, keeping the waist from dragging down excessively. Large, vented front and back pockets, as well as a cargo leg pocket, provide ample storage while the Caribou outer fabric is very durable, water-repellant, cool, and, of utmost importance—comfortable. Six layers of chain-saw protective material cover the front, sides, and calves while the backside is a fully breathable (non-saw-jamming) polyester fabric. Conforms to OSHA, ASTM F1897, ANSI Z133.1, and UL Classified. We suggest buying pants slightly loose and using suspenders. This popular wearing style among woodsmen greatly improves air circulation up through the waist, where heat tends to build. Buttons are inside for suspender use, and loops along the waist are for a belt.

Regular chaps

Premium Chainsaw Chaps SherrillTree Premium Chaps are among the best chainsaw protection money can buy. Unlike many competitive chaps (marketed to occasional users) that are covered with light-duty, thin nylon, Sherrill’s professional-duty chaps are wrapped in the latest Cordura Plus for durability and long-term wear. Sherrill’s chaps are assembled using heavy-gauge nylon thread and high-quality compression snaps and closures. One note about saw-jamming protection: washing is required. It’s not unusual to see an operator wearing heavily soiled, thin, almost leather-looking chaps that have never been near water and detergent. Bar oil, dirt, sweat, and grit can cause matting of the chain-stopping fibers within chaps and reduce their effectiveness. Regular (monthly with regular use) cleaning and drying according to manufacturer’s recommendations keep the material fluffed and prepared to function. If it’s simply the rough and tumbled look you’re after, consider something less to do with personal safety. Chaps are orange. All lengths fit up to 48" waists, with easily adjusted belt. Lengths measure from top to bottom: OUTSEAM means outside leg measurement.

SIP® CHAINSAW PROTECTION SIP trousers are the leading brand of chainsaw protection in European markets. SIP’s use of high-tech, water-repellant, lightweight, and stretchable fabrics is just one of the many reasons buyers keep coming back for more. Often seen on top athletes in tree climbing competitions, SIP pants are renowned for their extreme flexibility and cool performance in hot weather. Although matching jackets offer no chainsaw protection, they are extremely popular in foul weather—both for their water-shedding capability and high-visibility safety. SIP engineers are very close to their arborist clientele and pay attention to details that other manufacturers simply undervalue. Whether you’re a ground worker or climber, you’ll truly appreciate the comfort found in a pair of chain jamming pants you can wear throughout the workday! Features include higher strength for lighter-weight, chain-stopping materials; Kevlar-based reinforcement in the knees and bottom for long-lasting abrasion resistance; lower-positioned pockets accessible to harness-wearing climbers; triple stitching in the crotch (weakest point of every pair of pants); use of Lycra® in the material to provide greater freedom of movement without all of the pinching and grabbing; and, of course, creative designs! These pants also feature a bellows-style pocket (left leg) for glove storage during the climb as well as a mobile phone pocket (right leg) with Velcro® closures to keep contents in and debris out. For new buyers: Seasoned arborists don’t wear chainsaw pants over other pants. SIP pants are designed for comfort in this manner and have an elastic waistband to broaden the fit range. For ground workers, we suggest button-type suspenders (found locally); they allow superior air circulation to chainsaw pants and allow buyers to choose a slightly roomier pant size. SIP pants have a chip flap in the back designed to keep debris from entering the trousers and have buttons to accommodate suspenders. Notice that SIP pants come in both normal and tall sizes—the only difference being inseam length. The 6.1 series design uses a new, high-tech, six-layer, saw-jamming protection that meets the strict European class 1 standard. Therefore, SIP 6.1 means six layers of class 1 protection. By lightening up the overall weight of the 6.1 pants, SIP elected to introduce a stiffer and stronger covering fabric, along with knee and bottom pads to further extend wear life. We’re so confident you’ll love SIP pants that we GUARANTEE YOUR SATISFACTION. If you’re not convinced the minute you try them on, return within 20 days for a full refund!! (Refund not applicable to used materials.) Specifications: SIP pants meet or exceed the following standards for front protection: ANSI Z89.1-2003 type I class C (American) and CE EN12492 (European). Materials: 93% polyamide, 7% Lycra, 220 gr/m, padding 100% polyester.

Leather Arm Chaps Arm Chaps provide workers like Kevin Hardy of Cutting Edge Tree Service a pretty impressive level of protection both on and off the ground. Just zip them on before those brutal brush-dragging tasks or tree hugging exercises and Shazam!—the pipes are spared a nasty beating. Oh, sure, it may feel a little strange wearing boots so close to your neck, but believe me, your mom (and your tat’s) will thank you! Made of premium leather, Arm Chaps are also effective against tiny dog bites, rubber bullets, and women with hairy legs. Not protective against chain-saw or other severe cutting actions.

The Bowline The bowline is a very versatile knot used often in rigging because it can easily be untied following a significant load. The bowline is not recommended as a terminating knot for life support because it can come undone with loading and unloading. Instead, we show it here tied to a snap with a tail long enough to perform the friction hitch that will act as “termination.”

Peltor’s top of the line forestry helmet long ago set the standard for comfort and safety during chainsaw opera-tions. Several power equipment manufacturers adopted the LumberJack into their own safety line up, some stamping it with their own brand. The LumberJack sports a fold down screen that keeps sawdust from spackling the wearers face while allowing air to exchange freely. The shield also has includes a patented visor sealing skirt to keep what dust is raining down, raining elsewhere. Chainsaw, chipper and stump grinder manufacturers require operators to wear separate and approved eye protection (glasses) so the face shield on LumberJack is only designed for minimal impact protection. The LumberJack ear muffs are rated to 24 decibels, providing wearers with extremely good sound buffering, and fold easily up out of the way when not desired. Heavy-duty yet lightweight, the LumberJack solution provides users excellent comfort and protection for a long list of tree care duties. With muffs and face shield. 22.4 ounces.

Petzl Vertex Petzl’s raised the bar once again with this impressive redesign of the popular Ecrin series. The Vertex is available in two models with highly adjustable suspension systems, including the ability to fit the helmet high or low on the head (1) as well as position the chinstrap forward or back and wider around the ears. The suspension has also been modified to allow the back section of the suspension to pivot which helps mini-mize distortion. Both versions feature a polycarbonate shell designed to withstand significant impact from above (meeting EN397 and EN12492 standards) at temperatures down to -30ºC (-22ºF). Both feature a slot design with clearance over the ears to accept muff-type ear protection (below right) with or without a face shield. The comfortable suspension system is adjustable by a newly designed, single thumbwheel from 53 to 63 cm (2), and has an integrated chinstrap designed to decrease the risk of helmet loss in case of impact during a fall (breaking strength of more than 50 daN, EN12492 mountaineering helmet standard). 16.4 oz.

VERTEX VENT - Five ventilation holes on each side can be closed with two sliding shutters (3). Certification: ANSI Z89.1 - 2003 type I class C and CE EN12492.

VERTEX BEST - Solid shell meets ANSI electrical hazards standard. Certification: Z89.1- 2003 type I class E, and CE.

Fire Fox Voice-ActivatedThroat Mics (for two-way radios) Finally, a communication system as versatile and hard working as you! The Fire Fox throat mic was recommended by arborist Joe Cornell of Virginia because, as he says, “It’s a great system for workers needing to communicate among climbers or even operators of equipment like cranes, aerial lifts, skid loaders, or dump trucks. Get this—you can even talk while running a chain saw!” And ask Joe about the value: “Come on, Tobe, you can’t find good pair of iPod headphones for a hundred bucks!” The Fire Fox mic simply plugs into most handheld walkie-talkies (not included) and has a voice-activated talk feature, meaning when you talk, audio clearly transmits from your throat alone, instead of from whoever or whatever is blabbering in the background. Only one Fire Fox mic is required to communicate through one walkie-talkie to others. Both of the rugged and weather-resistant units shown have wire long enough to go from the throat mic to your waist-belt walkie-talkie, as well as a push-to-talk button for muting remotely.

Cool Rag I first got slapped with one of these by my seven-year old at a summer soccer game. Man, was I impressed. It was pushing 95 degrees here in the South and without a lick of breeze. I was stunned at how cold this stupid, wet rag was and how dead my kid was about to be. It was just about then that I grabbed his “Cool Whip” and promptly revised his desire to retrieve this arctic-like belly cooler the rest of the afternoon. Man, are workers gonna love this one! High-tech PVA polymer cloth is extremely absorbent, soaking up several times its weight in water and has waffle texture on one side for fast cooling and a smooth surface on the other for wiping. Machine-washable, chamois-like material can be tied around the head or worn around the neck. Dimensions 13 by 33 inches.

Lexas Lexas are simply one of the best choices of eye protection for today’s working grunt. Safety glasses are a dime a dozen these days, but few provide the anti-fog, scratch resistance, and UV protection for the price of Lexas! Unique, wraparound lenses provide needed coverage against twig and chip intrusion, while adjustable ear pieces make each pair a perfect fit for climbing arborists and ground crews. Working into the night? Just pop off the ear and nose piece and install a clear lens within seconds. From trade show to trade show, we have tree workers ask for Lexas by name. Fit your crew with the best for less from Sherrill! Other eyewear steams up the minute you go into action, scratches at the sight of dirt, or attracts dust and wood chips like a magnet, but not these. Lexas have the longest-lasting anti-fog coating on the market and an anti-scratch surface that is 15 times tougher than most other lenses. Their antistatic coating repels irritating dust particles.

Global Vision Safety Glasses Global Vision polycarbonate lenses are shatterproof! They provide superior protection from flying objects like bugs, sawdust, and gravel that could shatter a regular lens, causing eye injury or even blindness. These safety glasses are made to high-quality specifications in order to pass the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). They must pass six different tests for optical quality plus three different tests for impact resistance (including a test that shoots a 1/4 inch steel ball at over 100 mph that only leaves a dimple on the lens). All Global Vision lenses contain UV400 filters for maximum protection from harmful UV rays. Plus, the contoured fit eliminates light from all directions (including sides). Driving south while the sun rises in the east will never be a problem again!

Tautline vs Blake’s Hitch Both of these hitches are very popular among tree climbers as the adjustment point for the doubled rope technique (DdRT). These hitches allow climbers to adjust the circle of rope that keeps them secured between tree and harness. The Tautline has an irritating tendency to bind up, requiring the user to stop and loosen it for proper operation. This hitch also tends to “unroll” or “feed line,” which is why a stopper knot tied in the tail, is a must. Although the Blake’s hitch shows little tendency to unroll, it’s still recommended that a stopper knot be tied. Once tied, dressed and set, the Blake’s hitch remains stable throughout a climb, making it a clear improvement over the Tautline.

COBRADYNAMIC CABLING

Bracing is performed almost exclusively on trees that have experienced failure or show signs of cracking. For open, vertical cracks in crotches, it is imperative that split portions be pulled together (above the split, using a come-along) before installing bracing hardware. Although the technique is not always aesthetically welcomed, it’s been found that a final

brace just above the crotch has substantial holding power. Braced crotches usually require taut cabling in the canopy above to minimize movement stress to the newly installed hardware below. In certain situations, experts may recommend a dynamic system be installed about two-thirds the distance between the crotch and limb’s tip and that a static cable be installed midway between the dynamic cable and crotch.

Guying is performed to lend support to vertically challenged trees. Perhaps the most common scenario follows the planting of young balled-and-burlapped (B&B) trees, but guying is also required for mature tree transplants. Another common situation is near newly cut foundations or sidewalks, where significant root mass has been severed from one or more sides of previously well-established trees. Guying systems are recommended to be attached approximately halfway up the subject tree. Either non-invasive synthetic systems (without shock absorbers)

or steel wire solutions—or a combination of the two—can be utilized, but if vandalism is a risk, it is suggested that the lowest 10 feet be steel.

Cabling is performed to lend supplemental support to tree parts at elevated risk of failure. Not that any alteration or manmade design can make a living tree “safe,” but the process can mitigate hazards if practiced wisely. Cabling is not designed to hold trees together; rather, it limits excessive stress movement during ice or wind loading events that might start cracks that lead to greater failure. Systems can also be installed to limit potentially massive limb failures by shifting a limb’s bending moment out toward the tip. It is recommended that cabling be installed two-thirds the distance above the targeted crotch and limb’s tip to take advantage of leverage without having to anchor to small or weak branches. It is recommended that installers emphasize to customers that cabling is merely a supplement to its natural stress defense. Many installers have customers sign a wavier for cabling work that outlines such limitations and details the ANSI A300 standard (see page 151) recommending annual inspection of this artificial solution within their growing plant. (All cable and bracing systems and hardware offered by SherrillTree meet ANSI A300 standards.)

Bracing just above the crotch

Guying

Static (steel) cabling

SherrillTree is proud to offer a full line of tree cabling and bracing materials to fit a process with almost as many variables as trees have leaves! We don’t share the belief that one solution fits every tree any more than we believe every tree needs this solution. Practitioners of cabling and bracing should have at least a fundamental understanding of engineering and a thorough understanding of trees before practicing this advanced, tree-altering skill.

A lot has changed since the last publicly funded tree cabling research was performed in the United States (in 1935 by Robert Thompson of the National Park Service). We now have a better understanding of tree mechanics and access to significantly improved materials for restraint. The information that follows introduces materials and then provides some guidance in selecting products that best meet your customers’ needs.

Commonly available utility-grade guy strand (steel wire) is the least expensive material you can offer customers for tree cabling. At 37¢ per foot it’s about half the cost of synthetic rope. Cobra generally costs an additional 15¢ per foot for cost of materials yet requires only half of the labor time to install. TreeSave is about the same as Cobra unless installing “non-invasively,” whereupon the slings raise material costs to just over double that of steel wire.

Dynamic Cablingcandidate

Static Cabling candidate

Dynamic - This refers to cable materials with measurable elasticity, capable of absorbing shock loads associated with branches flailing in windy weather against manmade restraint. When used in conjunction with invasive anchors such as J-lags or eye bolts, dynamic cable increases the holding power by dampening load impact. Generally speaking, the leggier the tree (long, slowly tapering limbs), the more elastic the system can be. Dynamic systems include Cobra and TreeSave.

Static - This refers to cabling materials that have little to no elasticity, making them ideal for taut installations where crotch-stressing limb movement must be minimized. Non-elastic, static cables deliver incredible shock load to attached mass when subjected to dynamic forces and therefore require higher tensile strengths than elastic solutions. This effect is the

reason flatbed trucks use load binders to keep cargo from shifting and the reason it is imperative that cables are installed taut to limit wind-induced momentum between limbs. Static systems include steel-wire and super-high-strength ropes.

Non-invasive - This refers to cabling termination techniques that do not require wounding or otherwise implanting hardware inside the living tissue of supported tree parts. Non-invasive systems include Cobra systems and TreeSave slings.

Invasive - This refers to cabling and bracing techniques that require drilling to implant anchor hardware (usually steel) inside the plant. Invasive systems include threaded rod, J-lags, eye bolts, and RIGGUY wire stops.

These terms and descriptions are associated with materials we offer for this highly specialized craft.

Dynamic vs. Static - When deciding between a Dynamic (shock-absorbing) and a Static (non-elastic) cabling system,the following generally accepted criteria are helpful–

Dynamic systems are recommended for–

• Horizontal installations between limbs of young to middle-aged trees with sound crotches (no included growth)

• Species known for poor compartmentalization of wounds

• Trees with leggy structure determined to experience significant flexibility to wind and ice

• Hollow limbs where drilling is likely to accelerate decay or not provide sound anchorage for invasive hardware

Static cables are recommended for–

• Horizontal installations between limbs of young to middle-aged trees

• Species known for good compartmentalization of wounds

• Stout, tapered trees known to have limited movement in wind and ice

• Crotches with included bark

• Situations requiring minimal movement (above bracing)

• Vertical support of horizontal limbs

As the tree grows in diameter, Cobra self-adjusts to avoid girdling while having no effect on the system’s overall length. If the system comes under moderate tension, adjustment will take effect during wind oscillation.

Tethering tree limbs together to withstand the forces of nature (wind and ice) is a complex issue. The fact that living trees build their own defense against stress by piling wood fiber onto vulnerable areas leaves little argument that artificially overstiffening such areas can cause growing trees to become “lazy on the job.” It was this simple fact that brought European tree experts, plant physiologists, and aeronautic engineers together in the early 90’s to develop an improved tree cabling system that took every tree’s natural defenses into account. Although several reasons exist for cabling, two primary reasons were of greatest concern to arborists: repairing damage after failure and installing supplemental support to avoid failure. The latter issue is what inspired the development of dynamic cabling systems. The idea behind Cobra is to allow trees to continue their path of self-support while providing a supplemental solution in times of greatest stress because heightened stress is what causes most trees to crack or fail. And, indeed, trees

are known to put up with a lot of stress; just ask an arborist who’s witnessed a severe icing event. Sure, trees crumble—often predictably—but most of us are amazed at the profound flexibility and strength of green wood. A tree whose branch tips are touching the ground one day can completely rebound within hours of

melting temperatures. In essence, dynamic, low-tension support is designed to work with the tree’s natural and growing defenses, unlike certain static installations that overnight can turn a branch’s tension wood into compression wood and vice versa. Today, with nearly a decade and a half behind the Cobra philosophy, it is clear that the solution is valid. Dynamically cabled trees from Hong Kong to Sydney are not falling and indeed have been recorded to carry trees through wind events that shattered static-cabled neighbors! Learn more about tree cabling by joining your regional chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), or, for more information on Cobra, look SherrillTree.com up on the Web and search the word “Cobra.”

Cobra is ideal as supplemental support for vigorous-growing codominant stems with sound crotches. Unlike invasive static solutions, Cobra reduces the karate effect associated with leggy branches flopping against restraint in gusting winds.

Dynamic systems must be installed without ten-sion to provide shock absorbancy when needed most. ANSI A300 states that cabling be installed 2/3 the distance between the targeted crotch and limb’s tip.

The bending motion of trees in high wind proves that static wires are poorly compatible with flexible green wood.

German engineers illustrate that providing elastic restraint before excessive movement can control even large stems.

Non-invasive cabling systems cradle branch-es and stems to provide gentle, dynamic support during inclement weather.

Cobra 2-ton and 4-ton PLUSWith interchangable componentry! In 2006, the ZTV (European tree care standard) was revised based on a multitude of new research from a considerably active arboricultural community. One part of the ZTV standard, addressing popular new dynamic cabling systems, required that manufactured materials retain advertised tensile strength for a minimum of 8 years. Although already within this guideline, the makers of Cobra took the opportunity to beef up their product to 12 years, and, while at it, altered the 2-ton components to be interchangeable with 4-ton!

North American Tree Monitoring ProgramFor all supplemental support, lightning protection, bracing and nowguying installations! We’ll notify and remind the landowner on schedule!

NATMP is a program to inform property owners that their tree support or lightening protection system(s) require inspection. The program has minimal cost, pro-vides long-term awareness of cabled trees and reminds the prop-erty owners of their responsibility to seek periodic inspections. When cabling, guying, or lightening protection is chosen for growing trees, a system of monitoring is recommended to watch for potential problems such as ingrowing branches, signs of stress transfer, broken or fatiguing hardware, etc. Failure to monitor such systems can lead to irreversible damage. NATMP works as follows: your installer fills out a form with detailed information about that particular job, has the customer sign it, and leaves the customer a copy. The form details the importance of monitoring tree cable installations and presents a reasonable fee ($10 US) required to keep them in our registry. If paid by them (or you) and returned to us, we will mail a letter to their address (Attn: Property Owner) on year 1, 3, 6, and 9 for monitoring and year, 12 for adjustment or possible relocation. At the twelfth year the program can be renewed, or cancelled, depending on the property owner’s choice (our file information is preserved). Your company’s name and number will be included in the scheduled notifications.

STEEL CABLING Seven-strand, left-hand lay, corrosion-resistant, utility-grade steel cable has long been the staple of tree cabling in the US. A process first practiced in the early 1900’s, this method of cabling remains largely unchanged from it original format. Steel cabling is performed within tree canopies as a method of securing tree parts to one another as supplemental support to resist ice loads and wind forces, yet can provide no guarantee to save, hold together or especially reverse defective growing trends for the tree. Common-grade cable is malleable so that it can be spliced by hand (self-wrapped around a thimble) while extra-high-strength cable (EHS) is stronger but significantly stiffer and cannot be hand-spliced. EHS is required when utilizing Rigguy wire stops. For all such connections, it is imperative that a heavy-duty thimble is used in all eye splices to reduce the chance of abrasion failure. For anchoring cable ends, we recommend eye bolts installed completely through the target branch with a washer under the nut. Some companies have abandoned use of J-lags all together due to their minimal holding power, especially in potentially hollow limbs. Although many arborists believe that static cabling systems are the answer to all structural flaws requiring supplemental support, we would encourage practictioners to closely examine the long-term goals the customer anticipates for any cable installation and learn more about dynamic options. In other words, are customers informed that artificial restraint requires periodic inspection (as outlined in the ANSI A300 standard)? This is why SherrillTree developed the NATMP program (see page 133), to notify property owners of due inspections.

(Dynamic) TREESAVE TreeSave is produced by Samson Rope Manufacturing exclusively for SherrillTree customers in search of a hybrid dynamic system compatible with invasive or non-invasive projects. This product was conceived for the American market based on similar European systems but with a few unique twists: TreeSave has a built-in dampening core and can be easily spliced into J-lags and eye bolts. By replacing static steel cable with TreeSave, anchor hardware and the tree alike receive significantly reduced shock-loading impact during wind events. That’s right, if you’ve experienced lags being ripped out of wood during storms, then you might recognize the value in introducing cushion into the system. TreeSave is available with non-invasive slings for those jobs with trees known for poor compartmentalization of wounds. Now that’s innovation. TreeSave is easy to splice, requiring no heavy cable cutters, pliers, or even gloves. Simply remove a few feet of the shock-absorbing core material from the rope’s end; feed the rope through your eye bolt or sling eye; and then splice the rope back into itself over a common thimble. For increased elasticity we offer an Add-On Damper with about 250 pounds of tension and a foot or so of extension. TreeSave cable comes in two materials: polyester and Spectra, and in two sizes: 10 and 13mm. Strength specifications are TreeSave 10/5 is for trees measuring up to 15.5 inches at the targeted branch connection; TreeSave 13/11 for crotches up to 23.5 inches, and TreeSave 10/20 for crotches up to 30 inches.

A. Non-Invasive Support Slings with Anti-Abrasion CoverA technique made popular by European arborists, eye slings provide ample strength to steel or

It’s been my observation that very few zipline installations in living trees are installed with tree health or even cable longevity in mind. Several installations I’ve witnessed subject the tree to near immediate decline and large riders to potential disaster with leading mistakes being external wrapping meth-ods and undersized cable or mismatched hardware. I believe that seasoned arborists with cabling experience based on tree health are uniquely qualified to properly assess, and then install premium-grade systems in living trees. If tree cabling is one of your specialties then perhaps you too are qualified to assess and install a zipline system that serves both trees and customers!

The most common error performed by amateur zipline in-stallers is wrapping cable directly around growing trees. Even with vertically positioned boards the tree’s vascular system can be greatly restricted, and in most cases the cable is fastened in a manner that allows zero expansion growth. We only recommend through-bolting of this highly static cable system that, in most cases, will be installed low to mid stem and under significant tension anyway, greatly reducing the likelihood of wind-induced hardware abrasion.

Another issue commonly sited is inadequate cable and/or hardware strength. SherrillTree recommends only premium-grade, high-strength products to withstand the rigors of abuse and inclement weather. Accompanying this page of premium products are a few illustrations and details that we consider paramount to a stable and tree-friendly zipline installation.

Pro-grade Zipline Productsfrom SherrillTree

Tension created on cable end hardware increases dramatically when load is applied midline. Live trees should be evaluated anually for decline or internal decay and cabling hardware for abrasion or stress damage.

Too flat isn’t bad for short runs or ground level installations where riders can run-start. Too steep (exceeding 12 degrees) is hazardous and unacceptable for zipline installations even with cushioned stop.

Zipline Things To Know

WARNINGS: Signs should be posted warning that adolescent use should be supervised by an adult and long hair should be secured from entanglement; cable, hardware and tree condition should be inspected annually; landing zones should be well maintained and safe.

SYSTEM AGE AND WEAR: It is generally accepted that zipline systems have a lifespan of between 10 and 15 years. Stainless materials should be used in close proximity to coastal (salt) waters. Thimbles should always be used in cable ends to avoid chaffing and abrasion brought about through dynamic activity.

SAFE STOPPING: Zipline installations should end with a mechanical braking device made up of an elastically anchored striking block, tire (8-15”) or similar method that arrests rider slowly a safe distance short of secondary cable termination.

Striking Block

GIRDLING: Do not wrap non-adjusting cables or lines directly around trees for zipline use. Through bolts or other injuries to the tree should be minimal and calculated based on compartmentalization characteristics of the species.

SYSTEM STRENGTH: Calculating strength requirements of componentry needed for zip line installation can be quite involved. Many factors influence reactive forces placed on the system including, but not limited to; span distance, cable angle, cable sag, cable elasticity, pole height, pole flex, rider weight and so on. In one calculation for example, confirmed against real life results, it was determined that 200 feet of cable (pulled tight between rigid anchors) loaded with 200 pounds weight produced 15kN of force (3,400 pounds) at either end. We beleive it prudent to utilize a minimum 3/8-inch cable for spans exceeding 100 feet.

INCLINE: Generally speaking, ziplines should be installed with only 4-6 degrees of fall and absolutely no more than 12 degrees.


Galvanized Aircraft Cable and termination products Tension is important to a good zipline installation. Without adequate tension the cable is likely to experience sag leading to a poor ride experience and premature cable wear. In most cases a zipline installation will require no more than one turnbuckle if a comealong and Haven’s grip are used during installation.

Ride Support In the world of zipline componentry, this is where the proverbial “rubber hits the road.”

Ride Restraint Perhaps the most reassuring touch to any zipline system is the stop. Although a few methods exist (including the use of a medium-sized tractor tire) this is by far our favorite because it provides a surprisingly gentle soft stop on a variety of rider weights and speeds.

Cable anchoring products Although SherrillTree is a strong advocate of non-invasive supplemental support cabling systems in tree crown, we fall firmly on the side of invasive installation for this low-positioned static procedure. It seems that the easiest and most effeciant use of materials for this procedure is in choosing threaded rod installed using a 5-foot bit so that you always have enough material for the widest range of tree diameters.

Arbor Guying Cable Arbor Guying Cable is a revolutionary new material for staking and guying trees. It is safe, easy to use and less expensive than traditional tree ties. The soft polypropylene materials have an exclusive weave that ensures a rounded edge at all times to help prevent the material from girdling young trees. The 900 lb. tensile strength provides substantial strength for most b&b sized trees. Arbor Guying Cable fastens to any stake or anchoring system with traditional knots or nails.

Trees overturned by wind or ice can often be re-erected and guyed with a high probability of recovery.

Before repairing a split crotch with steel rod(s), it may be necessary to close the wound to create a straight path for the drill bit. This can be done using eye slings and a come-along device above the wounded area. Finally, drill holes in accordance with ANSI A300 2006 33.7 guidelines before installing bracing rod(s). Most recommend starting from the bottom and working upwards to effectively “zip” the fissure closed.

Single & Dual Tank Skid-Mounted Sprayers Our skid-mounted sprayers are as versatile as they are rugged. This customized series is the right partner for your plant health care program if you’re looking for something to mount on an existing trailer or truck bed. All tanks are made of heavy-duty polyethylene with large fill-well openings with air gap filters. Adjustable, high pressure jet agitation does a great job of suspending your slurry while plumbing is corrosive-proof poly or stainless steel-no galvanized pipes here. Tanks, engines, hose reels and plumbing are mounted on strong T6061 aluminum skid frame, to increase rigidity and stability of the plant while it’s in operation or being transported. You’ll be able to adjust the stream of flow with our easy-access flow valves and monitor the action through shock resistant and liquid filled gauges. And of course, to top everything off- all units are powered by easy-starting, smooth-running Honda engines. Each unit is factory tested and assembled.

OUR SPRAY RIG EXPERT CAN HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT SETUP WILL BE BEST FOR YOUHERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO CONSIDER:

WHAT TYPE OF WORK WILL YOU BE DOING? - A spray rig can be used for tree spraying, root feeding or lawns. The type of work you plan to use it for affects the size tank you need, as well as the engine and pump size. The smaller engines are fine for root feeding and lawn work, but can not generate enough power to spray hardly more than 20-25 ft.

Engines available in 5.5, 8, 13, 18, 20, or 24 HP. Pumps available in 10, 15, 20, 35, and 40 GPM.

1Your hose length and gun type also reflect the type of work you’ll be doing. Hoses are available in 3/8” , 1/2” and 3/4” diameters, at 150’ and 300’ lengths. There is a range of spray guns available for spraying trees, lawns, or root feeding.

2

WHAT SIZE/CAPACITY TRUCK OR TRAILER WILL YOU USE TO HAUL YOUR SPRAY RIG AROUND? - One gallon of water weighs little over 8 lbs., so if you’ve got your 200 gallon tank filled, you’re looking at around 1,660 lbs, not including the weight of the spray rig itself. SherrillTree Spray Rigs are constructed of light weight aluminum to reduce your vehicle requirements. However, if you need a complete truck/spray rig combination… we sell those too.

Tanks are available in 100, 200 and 500 gallon capacities.

3

BELLS AND WHISTLESThere are a number of features available that go beyond the basic spray rig. Adding an electric hose reel will save you time and energy compared to a manual crank reel. Roller guides on the reel guide the hose onto the reel in a neat and clean manner. Protect your rig from the elements with an all-aluminum truck body featuring three 72” roll-up door.

Total Fertilizing Solution A balanced fertilization program is one of the most important cultural practices for improving the health and appearance of landscape trees and ornamentals. Most insect, disease, and physical

stress are symptoms of bigger problems beneath the soil. Many landscape areas have poor soil that cannot maintain good, healthy growth. Such problems can be pH related, macro or micronutrient deficiencies, low organic matter, or the result of toxins in the soil. The list grows as still more is learned about the nutrient requirements of healthy trees.

In the forest, the recycling of nutrients occurs naturally when leaves and other organic materials decompose. The problems occur on landscapes where the natural cycle is disrupted. Most trees and shrubs on a landscape property have to compete for nutrients with grasses and other ground covers. Without new organic matter being introduced, the soil is soon depleted. With a balanced fertilizer program, one can only improve the health and appearance of these plants, but also reduce the amount of dam-age caused by pests and physical stress.

Also available in 30 and 55 gallon drums, or 275 gallon mini bulk. Call for bulk pricing!

Arbor Green PRO Arbor Green PRO from Davey is the most significant advancement in tree fertilization since the original Arbor Green was patented in 1978. Composed of the highest-quality nutrients, including synthesized organic nitrogen fortified with polyamino acids, this fertilizer is formulated in just the right ratio to maximize the nutrient’s effects. A complete fertilizer, Arbor Green PRO 30-10-7 contains high-quality nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-sium formulated from ureaform and monopotassium phosphate, plus polyamino acid. Arbor Green PRO releases these nutrients, including synthesized organic nitrogen fortified with polyamino acids throughout the growing season. A slower, controlled release rate leads to uniform growth, a lower risk of leaching and greater efficiency of nutrient absorption. The technology of this fertilizer is intended to mimic the natural availability of nutrients in the forest environment. The formula’s low salt index allows the most sensitive trees, such as those that are drought stressed, or recently transplanted, to be fertilized. Properly selected and maintained landscape plants add value to real estate, lower utility bills and help offset carbon emissions. Check to see if Arbor Green PRO is available for sale in your state at SherrillTree.com. Not available in Canada.

Biobarrier® Root Control System I’m sure we’ve all seen a sidewalk that has had portions of it cracked and pushed up due to the growth of roots from a nearby tree. Similar effects happen to all sorts of other structures, because there is nothing in place to prevent the roots from causing damage. This is where Biobarrier comes in. Biobarrier is an advanced, long-term root control system that incorporates time-release nodules. When strategically placed in the soil, it prevents structural damage from root encroachment, without causing damage to the roots or tree. Effective life of Biobarrier is 15 years (minimum) or more depending on the location. Though the ideal times to install Biobarrier are when a tree is first planted or when backfilling, Biobarrier can still be easily installed for older trees. Simply dig a small trench along the structure to be protected and slip the fabric vertically into the opening. Cover, tamp, and rake over. That’s really about all there is to it. Plus, the flexibility of the fabric allows you to shape and form the root control system to virtually any configuration. Biobarrier is an excellent root control system for many landscaping situations. Examples include swimming pools, gardens, cemeteries, tennis courts, and building foundations. Biobarrier is sold by the roll. Root control is another great service that you can offer your customers!

Deep Root® Tree Root Barrier Another popular method of root control is Deep Root Barriers. They are scientifically designed to prevent tree roots from damaging surrounding hardscapes and landscapes. The barrier is used for either surround or linear applications with trees that will reach as much as 18" to 24" (depending on which size barrier you use) trunk caliper at maturity. Commonly used in conjunction with curb and gutter, parkways and other street tree applications, the two foot long panels come either 18" or 24" high and feature a new integrated zipper joining system that provides for instant assembly, without the use of a joiner strip. The barrier also has a 90° rib to direct roots down and out allowing for full root growth. Anti-lift ground locks prevent the barriers from being lifted by root growth.

Tree Climber’s Knot Bookby Dirk Lingens

Knots have a long history. In the past they were an integral part of daily life, indispensable for seamen, craftsmen, and farmers. Over recent centuries though, the need to utilize ropes and knots has been replaced by prefabricated means. Knots have, however, experienced a small renaissance among climbers who still use rope. Above all, friction knots have been refound, reinvented, and optimized by tree climbers for peak performance. Dirk Lingens, a German arborist and self-confessed knot junkie, has collected and recorded knots commonly used in the arboricultural industry. There are also a few exotic and uncommon knots, and some are published here for the first time. The book is useful not just for arborists but for anyone with an interest in knots.

2. Comprehensive company workplace safety rules, with compliance monitored on a regular basis, and the rules enforced by discipline where appropriate.

3. An employee’s obligation to conscientiously abide by the employer’s safety rules.

4. An inspection program by which tools and equipment are inspected for unsafe conditions, and maintained or disposed of as necessary.

In this circumstance, shipping costs will be the customer’s responsibility. Also, when the order is delivered to you, we suggest that you inspect the package(s) for damage before you sign for the delivery or open the package(s). A package must be signed for as “damaged” to process a claim for replace-ment, and the boxes must be kept for inspection.

OUTSIDE USA DUTIES AND TAXESfor international orders are to be paid by the customer. If refused, the customer will be responsible for any duties and/or freight paid by SherrillTree Inc., as well as any “abandoned merchandise” charges. Sales tax is applied to orders from NC, PA and TN.

THE FREIGHT CHARTon the order form is for the continental U.S., prepaid mail and fax-in orders only. This usu-ally covers our shipping costs but is measured on an average basis. Freight charges are determined by weight, and rarely match the chart exactly. We reserve the option to reject a mail-in order’s freight rate as circumstances occur.

HEAVY WEIGHT ITEMS(indicated by the anvil icon), such as cable, fertilizer, rope, etc. can send shipping costs soaring. Therefore, the freight chart does not apply to orders containing these items. Exact shipping cost cannot be deter-mined until the weight is totaled and calculated against your shipping zone at the end of the day. International shipments are quoted on an individual basis, depending on destination, weight and dimensions.

OVERSIZED PACKAGESDue to new UPS and FedEx regulations, the shipping charges for oversized packages (such as poles, elongated power tools, and log dollies) will significantly increase. If you have any questions about these changes and their effect on you, please ask our customer service representatives, available Mon-Fri from 8 a.m.-6 p.m..
