DMM Nomad Work Positioning Lanyard System

Versatile, friction-hitch based lanyard system for precision tree climbing and work positioning.
The DMM Nomad is a CE-certified work positioning lanyard system that offers a wide range of movement and adjustment options for professional arborists. Built with market-proven 24-strand double braid rope, bespoke Fidus hitch cordage, and DMM’s precision hardware, the Nomad provides outstanding reliability, smooth friction management, and long-term durability across all working environments.

Available in 12.8 mm or 11.8 mm rope diameters, four bright contrasting colours, and seven standard lengths, the Nomad system adapts perfectly to your climbing style, seasonal conditions, and workspace layout. It is also certified for two-person rescue loads and can serve as a temporary anchor assembly when needed.
