Scale wooden poles to perform inspections and maintenance.

Climbing belts work in conjunction with positioning straps to provide a leverage point for climbing. Attach the positioning strap and your fall-arrest lanyard to the metal D-rings on the belt. Belts are fixed, so they do not allow side-to-side movement of the D-rings. Belts also hold your tools while climbing. They have a glove-bag ring, a tape holder, a two-way knife snap, four suspender rings, and four tool loops. To find your trade size, measure from one hip bone around the back to the other hip bone, then add 2". For example, if the length you measure is 20", then your trade size is 22D.

Positioning straps wrap around the pole to provide support while at height, freeing both hands for work. Connect them to the D-rings on your climbing belt with the locking snap hooks. They adjust up to 2 feet in length.

Pole climbers have cushioned leather pads for comfort, wide stirrups for solid foot support, and spikes that penetrate even hard, salt-treated poles for secure climbing. Adjust the length in 1/4" increments by removing and repositioning the screws in the leg irons. To determine your length, measure from your instep to 1" below your knee.

Note: Pole climbing equipment is not a substitute for fall-arrest equipment. Always use pole climbing equipment in conjunction with a fall-arrest harness, lanyard, and anchor point.
