Product Description
Notch Friction Savers with Aluminum Wear Safe™ Rings
The updated Notch Friction Savers are a smart, tree-friendly solution for rope-based climbing. Each unit features Notch’s patented Aluminum Wear Safe™ Rings, which include a built-in visual indicator that alerts you when the ring needs to be retired—helping you stay safe while preserving your rope and the tree.
Key Features
- Available in 24", 36", and 48" lengths
- Large and small aluminum rings with integrated Wear Safe™ indicators
- Heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant webbing
- Reduces friction on your climbing line and protects the tree's cambium layer
- Lightweight and easy to install or retrieve from the ground
Why Choose Wear Safe™ Rings?
The Wear Safe™ system is a built-in safety feature that shows a clear visual cue when the aluminum ring has reached the end of its service life. This helps arborists take the guesswork out of gear retirement and improves overall climbing safety.
Applications
- Tree climbing and canopy access
- Pruning, rigging, and technical arborist work
- Any rope-based system where reduced friction and tree protection are priorities
Inspection Note
Inspect the rings before each use. If the Wear Safe™ indicator mark is visible, the ring should be removed from service and replaced. Do not use worn components for life safety applications.
