Teufelberger Slaice Safety Notice. Read in full on our blog at treegear.com.au #treegear #teufelberger #slaice
Read the full article on our blog at treegear.com.au NOTE FOR CHECKING THE TREEMOTION, TREEMOTION S.LIGHT HARNESSES AND SPARE PART LEG LOOPS One of our customers had a really regrettable incident that fortunately ended without any injuries. According to the currently available information one of the safety stitchings on a leg loop (marked yellow in the picture) was missing. Because of the missing safety stitching the webbing slipped out of the leg loop under tension and the climber was exposed to a sudden movement. There is no immediate risk of a fall, but the risk of injuries is significantly higher when using tools (caused by unexpected movement or panic reaction). Every single harness is inspected during production and additionally after completion of production. That means every harness is subjected to two independent inspections. The occurrence of this error can only be explained by the highly improbable failure of both inspections. We are taking that incident really seriously and we are taking all necessary measures to rule out similar errors. The safety of our customers is a big concern for us.

AUS spec vs CE spec Cougar Blue. (Swipe for more) There is a huge difference in these ropes. Measured relaxed, Aus seems true 11.7 while CE is more like 13mm! Aus cover is tight and the rope is low stretch, CE is baggy and bouncy... After traveling the world we've been sent this to put an eye in it - if only this rope earned Frequent Flyer miles! #treegear #arblife #arboristsofinstagram #rope #buylocal #carbonfootprint

Good call by our customer to retire the beeline that was on his Pinto Rig. It was showing serious movement in the original stitching (not by us) after some use as a rigging sling. We switched it out from eye to eye to a loop configuration machine sewn out of 10mm armorprus with a spacer added. #treework #rigging #rope #arborist #treegear #bartack #custom
Custom X sling made up for @rasl.dasl out of Samson Vortex - which is very strong for 1/2 rope. If you don't already, follow @rasl.dasl to see it put to work. #treegear #xriggingrings #samsonropes #splicing #rope #rigging #treework
