Wire Core Fliplines & Work Positioning Lanyards for Arborists
Whether you’re climbing trees, poles, or working aloft from a bucket, the right lanyard makes a real difference in comfort, efficiency, and safety. We stock proven, field-tested arborist fliplines, rope grabs, and work positioning lanyards from brands professionals trust — with options to fit a wide range of budgets and work styles.
Steel Core Fliplines & Adjusters
Wire core fliplines are a staple for arborists and line clearance professionals who need added cut resistance and dependable positioning while climbing. If you’re looking for a complete flipline setup — including mechanical adjusters and carabiners — we’ve got you covered.
We carry some of the most respected names in the industry, including USR, Yale Cordage, and Petzl. USR fliplines are a popular choice for climbers who want proven performance at an affordable price. We’ve sold hundreds — likely thousands — over the years, and their reliability has earned them a loyal following.
For those looking to step up, Yale Cordage’s steel core fliplines are known for their spliced cable eye design rather than a swaged sleeve. This “Free Flex” construction allows the cable to move more naturally, reducing pinching and stress at the eye and potentially extending the service life of the flipline.
To fine-tune your setup, we also offer a solid selection of flipline adjusters, including mechanical rope grabs as well as traditional hip prusiks made from heat-resistant cordage.
Work Positioning Rope Lanyards
Non-steel-core work positioning lanyards are ideal for setting a comfortable, stable work position once you’re in the tree. They allow you to maintain balance on long reaches, reduce fatigue, and work more confidently throughout the job.
High-visibility adjustable rope lanyards with durable hardware are among the most popular choices for everyday tree work. We also carry lightweight, mechanically adjustable lanyards that offer smooth, one-handed operation and excellent control, without adding unnecessary bulk to your harness.
A little extra stability can go a long way toward worker safety — and climbers who feel secure tend to work more efficiently and with greater confidence.

While this page focuses on arborist work positioning gear, many tree workers — especially those operating from bucket trucks — also rely on traditional shock-absorbing fall protection lanyards.
We carry a wide range of general Fall Protection Lanyards designed to meet jobsite requirements and applicable safety standards. Elastic and shock-absorbing options are especially popular for bucket work, as they help manage movement while reducing trip hazards and limiting fall forces.
