TREE CLIMBING HARNESSES

The best Tree Climbing Harnesses are essential for your safety, comfort, and efficiency while working at height. Our collection from DMM, Teufelbger and Petzl combines ergonomic design with robust safety features, built for the rigorous demands of tree work. Choose the perfect harness system for any job, from pruning to felling. Sit harnesses (saddles) are essential for comfortable, hands-free work positioning, distributing weight for freedom of movement and providing multiple attachment points. Chest harnesses, when used with a sit harness, enhance stability, promote an upright posture, and distribute load evenly to reduce strain, especially during SRT climbs. Finally, carabiner tool clips are indispensable accessories, allowing secure and quick access to tools like chainsaws. Explore our collection from leading brands for the optimal harness system for every climb.

What is the safest harness to use in a tree stand?

The safest harness for a tree stand is a full-body safety harness, as it distributes fall forces across the body, greatly reducing injury risk. It's an essential part of a complete fall arrest system, including a shock-absorbing tether and tree strap/lifeline for continuous fall protection. Always ensure the harness is properly fitted, rated for your weight, and meets safety standards like EN 361. Brands DMM, Petzl and Teufelberger are popular choices within the tree surgeon industry.

How to choose a tree climbing harness?

Choosing a tree climbing harness for arborists prioritises safety, comfort, and work positioning, not just fall arrest. Look for compliance with EN 358 and EN 813. Consider type (sit vs. individual leg straps) and sliding bridges for mobility. Essential features include ample padding, adjustability, and numerous tool loops. Popular brands known for quality include Petzl (Sequoia), Teufelberger (treeMOTION), Edelrid (TreeRex), and DMM. Always try for fit, prioritise durability, and conduct regular PPE inspections for safety.
