ARBORIST EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

Arborist eq3 Over the last year or so we have been approached by more and more Arborists and Climbers asking if we can supply them.

We started off tentatively with the odd Beal Bonsai rope here and bull rope there, but it became apparent that we should look more into this.

So we are pleased to announce that we have recently concluded talks with three major suppliers of Arborist Equipment here in the UK. We are now able to supply: Yale, New England and Beal climbing and bull ropes, as well as Petzl and DMM hardware.
Some of our staff are trained in climbing techniques, and have a good understanding of dynamic and static ropes and their associated hardware, so we should be able to answer your climbing and Arborist questions. However if we can't, then we know a man who can.
