EXPLOREAny rope supplier can list tree climbing ropes on a website and ship them to you. That is the baseline.
A good supplier will sell you arborist rope. A great supplier will help you choose the right rope for everything the job demands. At Southern Ropes, we know which constructions handle dynamic load in a climbing system, which materials offer the abrasion resistance needed for prolonged bark contact, and which rigging ropes are strong enough to handle the weight of large sections in a controlled descent. Double rope technique needs minimal stretch and consistent handling. Tree felling rope needs toughness under sustained load. The right choice is rarely the same twice.
From independent tree surgeons to large-scale forestry contractors, our customers span a wide range of environments and applications. We supply certified climbing and rigging rope to professionals who need it to perform every time.
