Stainless Steel Tree Guard

A Cambium/Friction Saver specifically designed for professional arboriculture climbing, tree work, and pruning projects. By installing stainless steel rings of different sizes at the branch crotch anchor point, it significantly improves the fluidity of the climbing rope through the anchor station. This completely isolates the main rope from direct contact with the bark, protecting the tree's cambium layer from friction damage or burns, while preventing the rope from being worn or contaminated by the tree's rough fibers or resin.

The webbing features a specialized stiffened weave, ensuring it does not twist or tangle during installation. Both ends are precision-stitched with 304 stainless steel large and small rings, featuring clear black identification markings for easy orientation. Used in conjunction with a throw weight, throw line, and a dedicated retrieval ball, climbers can perform remote installation and retrieval from the ground, ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.

Key Features

• Integrated 304 Stainless Steel Large and Small Rings: Features a large ring on one end and a small ring on the other. Wear-resistant and corrosion-proof with smooth, rounded inner surfaces, it drastically reduces resistance for the main rope, making rope retrieval smooth and effortless.

• Specialized Stiff, Anti-Twist Webbing: Provides excellent rigidity to resist twisting, making it easy to pass through branch crotches without self-tangling or flipping/binding at forks.

• Clear Size Identification Markings: The webbing features a specifically stitched black identification area on one end, allowing for quick distinction between the large and small ring ends when viewed from the dense canopy or the ground.

• Remote Ground Installation and Retrieval: When used with a throw weight, pull line, and retrieval balls of various diameters, arborists can pull the protector onto the branch anchor point from the ground without climbing, and retrieve/unlock it directly from the ground once work is complete.

• High-Strength Industrial Standard: The system has a breaking strength of 22kN and fully complies with the GB 30862-2014 safety inspection standards.
