Undoubtedly the ascent of trees is tiring and strenuous. Whilst there's a myriad of mechanical devices they all require physical effort, this is where the Power Ascender stands out. Used on a single kernmantel static rope of between 10.50mm and 13mm diameter you power your way up.

The Power Ascender Safe Working Load is 300 kg, more than ample for the even the largest tree climbing arborists fitted out with all the gear.
