Tree climbing spikes, pole climbing spurs for arborists
In this category, you can buy forestry climbing irons. Forestry climbing irons are a professional climbing aid for tree climbers and forest workers. They are often referred to as tree climbing irons or simply as climbing irons. However, they have almost nothing in common with alpine climbing irons used in mountaineering. Forestry climbing irons are part of the equipment of tree climbers and forest workers, which help them climb into branchless areas of the tree trunk.
Forestry climbing irons usually consist of a type of stirrup that can be attached to the foot or shoe or boot by means of a strap. The shaft of the stirrup leads up to the wearer's lower leg. Here, the forestry climbing irons can be fixed to the leg by means of an anatomically shaped, padded shell or with the help of wide straps, so that forces and loads can be optimally absorbed and transmitted. The essential element of all forestry climbing irons is the metallic spike that bores into the bark of the tree and thus provides the tree climber with the necessary grip on the trunk. Since the spike injures the tree, forestry climbing irons are usually only used when the tree is to be felled anyway.
The quality features of forestry climbing irons that are decisive for the purchase are the comfort when climbing, a weight that is individually suitable for the wearer (not too heavy), and of course as many interchangeable parts as possible, so that when a component wears out, the entire pair of forestry climbing irons does not have to be replaced.
