Arboriculture, or tree care, is a field that requires not only knowledge and experience, but also the right equipment. Among the tools that are extremely important for every arborist are arborist pulleys. They are what make working in the treetops more efficient and safer. Are you wondering why? In this article, we will dispel any doubts.

What are these items used for?

Arborist pulleys play a key role when working in the treetops. They are special devices which allow the controlled lowering or lifting of heavy branches, materials or tools. They allow the arborist to control the movement precisely, which is important when carrying out complex tasks.

There are many benefits to using arborist blocks. Firstly, they increase productivity by allowing the load to be evenly distributed. Secondly, they allow precise control, which is important for delicate tasks. Finally, arborist blocks minimize rope friction, which translates into smoother movement.
