Product information & specifications
ART Positioner 2 Mechanical Lanyard Adjuster
The ART Positioner 2 is a premium mechanical lanyard adjuster designed for professional arborists and tree climbers who need smooth, reliable and precise work positioning. Widely regarded as one of the leading mechanical adjusters for lanyards, the Positioner 2 grabs the rope as soon as it comes under load while still allowing comfortable one-handed adjustment, even when weighted, certified to CE EN 358 and EN 567.
Designed for ropes from 11mm to 13mm, as well as compatible steel-core flip lines with a climbing rope cover such as Flex-Fly, the ART Positioner 2 gives climbers excellent control during positioning, stem work and canopy movement. Available with either a fixed karabiner eye or swivel, it helps maintain ideal device orientation and reduces twisting for smoother handling in demanding tree work.
Key Features & Benefits
- ART Positioner 2 mechanical lanyard adjuster
- Designed for professional arborist work positioning systems
- Grabs the rope as soon as it comes under load
- Allows reliable one-handed adjustment, even under load
- Ergonomic release lever for comfortable handling
- Compatible with 11-13mm ropes
- Can be used on compatible steel-core flip lines with climbing rope cover
- Available with fixed karabiner eye or swivel option
- Swivel helps prevent twisting and improves device positioning
- Replaceable components for long-term serviceability
Precise One-Handed Adjustment
The ART Positioner 2 is designed to allow smooth and reliable one-handed adjustment, even when the lanyard is under load. This makes it highly practical for professional work positioning where fine control and quick adjustment are essential.
Reliable Rope Grabbing Performance
Once the system is loaded, the Positioner grips the rope securely, giving climbers confidence while moving, leaning back, positioning around stems or working from a lanyard system.
Fixed Eye or Swivel Options
Climbers can choose between a fixed karabiner eye or swivel version. The swivel helps counteract rope twist, keeping the Positioner aligned correctly on the rope for improved comfort and handling in a wide range of working positions.
Technical Details
Why Choose the ART Positioner 2?
ART (Advanced Rope Technology) is a German manufacturer specialising in mechanical lanyard adjusters, and the Positioner 2's Lockjack-principle adjustment is a genuine differentiator — it lets you shorten the lanyard one-handed or lengthen it even while tensioned, without the jolts common to simpler cam adjusters. All parts are available as spare parts, and older Positioner models can be retrofitted with a swivel or spring cam.
Certified Protection Explained
CE EN 358 is the European standard for work-positioning and restraint lanyards. EN 567 covers rope clamps and ascending devices, confirming the mechanical grip mechanism meets certified safety requirements for professional climbing use.
