When it comes to professional tree rigging, using the right blocks and pulleys is essential for safety, efficiency, and rope longevity. Our selection of arborist blocks is specifically designed to meet the demands of tree work, offering lightweight, heat-dissipating aluminum options as well as rugged, budget-friendly steel choices. Whether you're performing dynamic rigging, controlled lowering, or heavy-duty hauling, you'll find the best brands and equipment right here.
Why Choose Arborist-Specific Blocks?
Arborists rely on soft rigging ropes, which are more sensitive to heat than steel cables. That’s why most of our arborist blocks are made from high-quality aluminum, helping to reduce weight while efficiently dissipating heat from friction. Top brands like CMI Gear (Made in the USA) and ISC (Made in Wales) provide durable, reliable blocks designed to handle the unique challenges of tree rigging. For those who prefer a more affordable and rugged alternative, we also offer steel arborist blocks, which are ideal for heavy-duty applications.
Pulleys for Lighter Rigging & Hauling Systems
In addition to blocks, we carry a wide selection of pulleys, which are smaller and generally feature lighter load ratings. These are perfect for redirecting lines, tensioning systems, and assisting in gear hauling. Popular pulley brands include Petzl, Rock Exotica, and Notch, ensuring high-quality performance for all your rigging needs.
For more advanced lifting and hauling applications, we offer fiddle block sets and other pre-configured pulley systems. These setups provide increased mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift and reposition loads with minimal effort.
Zip Lines for Arborists & Recreation
We also carry zip lines, which arborists use to efficiently transport tree limbs to a controlled landing zone. These systems can improve job site organization and reduce cleanup time. Additionally, many of our zip line components can be used for recreational zip lining, making them a versatile option for adventure setups.
