Linemen use a variety of gear for pole climbing, including:
- Climbing Belt: A sturdy and adjustable belt that goes around the waist and is designed to support the weight of the lineman while climbing the pole. Many pole climbers use Arborist Saddles that are designed for tree climbing.
- Climbing Spurs or Gaffs: Metal spikes that attach to the climber's boots and help grip the pole while climbing.
- Primary Lanyard: A strap that attaches to the climbing belt and wraps around the pole to prevent falls.
- Secondary Lanyard: An additional safety strap that attaches to the climbing belt and the pole, providing an additional layer of safety.
- Climbing Helmet: A hard hat that protects the head from impact and falling objects.
- Gloves: Protective gloves that provide grip and insulation while handling hot or cold materials.
