No need for cranes and crawling up on a roof with a chainsaw, just a good well thought out approach. Some applied force, with DMM pulleys and Liros rope this morning, restoring order to chaos. Rope under tension is a dangerous phenomenon, so stay outside the danger zone and use equipment you trust. The torque is so high with the Man truck, almost no gas required. The result, no damage to the building whatsoever, and controlled fell in the opposite direction. Stump back in place and a happy customer 🙌 #mantrucks #arborist #hartillträdexpert #dmm #lirosropes

When the job gets bigger, so does your kit. Watch @conan_tree in action with the DMM Mega Vault, built to handle larger tools and heavier setups without compromising access or security. The deeper basket and integrated gate keeper allow the gate to be locked open, making installation and removal of tools like chainsaws, smooth and controlled. Designed for versatility, the Mega Vault can be retrofitted to almost any harness or many tool belts. A large storage ledge helps organise gear for quick, selective access, while the replaceable gate keeper keeps everything exactly where you need it. It can even be fitted to vehicles and work bags, giving you secure storage wherever the job takes you. Shop the Mega Vault on our website. #DMM #arborist #treecare #megavault

Preventative maintenance of hardware and textile components is critical to maximizing the service life of @dmm_professional equipment. Routine cleaning to remove contaminants (e.g., dirt, salts, oils, and particulate matter) combined with thorough drying after. The importance of this becomes critical when components are exposed to moisture or corrosive environments, as such conditions can lead to corrosion, abrasion, and weakening of fibers. #climbing #rope #ropeaccessprofessional #arboriculture #ropeaccesstechnician

Always fun breaking stuff but these results are not consistent, if they were reliable, they would be a lot closer in MBS. Plus we only had two samples, and no instructions, This alone is absolutely not enough to say they are safe. 34kn on the pink ( whipped ) 26kn on the blue ( no whip ). Over a year ago, on an average evening in @atattooedarborist lab, we made these splices purely to see if we could. We never climbed on them because they hadn’t been through the correct testing, and honestly, we had no idea what would happen. Thank you @pukropeworks & Alice Testing matters. Consistency matters. Safety matters. #climb #work #test #safety #tree

Side-loading carabiners can create weak points, misalignment, and unwanted gate movement, issues that reduce safety and efficiency in the canopy. It can also cause friction damage to the tree’s cambium, affecting the health of the anchor limb. The @dmm_wales Fibus 6.5 mm is designed to eliminate these problems by maintaining perfect alignment, preventing side-load forces, and ensuring greater safety and protection for both climber and tree. #tree #ropeaccesstechnician #rope #tips #climb #climbing #knot #learning #climber #climbing_is_my_passion #instgram #equipment #getitdone #treelife #dirtyhandscleanmoney #arborist

My personal favourite out of the three hitch’s (Distel 5+1, Schwabisch 5+1, VT 5+2) The 5 + 2 VT on the @dmm_wales NOMAD lanyard, using the official Fidus 8.5mm Eye to Eye to meet the CE certified fall protection systems. #climb #work #play #climber #climbing #climbing_is_my_passion #safety #tips #new #arborist #rope #ropeaccesstechnician #getitdone #arblife #knot #dirtyhandscleanmoney #instgram
