Fliplines and Lanyards
WesSpur stocks a wide range of fliplines and lanyards for all tastes in tree climbing. If you are in a hurry, check out one of our flipline & adjuster kits to get set up with flipline, adjuster, & carabiner all in one go. We have steel-core fliplines different diameters for every size of hand, and non-steel-core fliplines which are lighter weight and nonconductive. Yale cordage makes the best steel-core fliplines with spliced eyes in the cable at each end. The 5/8& high visibility flipline is an excellent choice for safety as it is easy to see when cutting. To adjust the length of your flipline we have a number of mechanical flipline adjusters as well as the more traditional prusik loops. In addition to these great tree climbing lanyards we also have the Buckingham adjustable pole strap and several styles of nylon anchor straps for work positioning and pole climbing.
Steel core fliplines are constructed of rope over a steel cable. This adds a measure of safety when working around a chain saw and makes the flipline conductive. Several styles to choose from.
Non steel-core fliplines or rope lanyards are constructed of durable rope and are non-conductive. This category features double braid, 3 strand, and 2-in-1 rope fliplines, as well as the popular Petzl Grillon and adjuster.
When used with a hip-prusik or 2-way adjuster, 2-in-1 fliplines allow the tree climber to use both ends of the flipline to safely climb past branches without ever being unsecured. Both non-steel-core and steel-core available.
Mechanical flipline adjusters replace friction knots to adjust the length of the flipline and allow for one-handed operation. We stock the Petzl Micrograb, Gibbs Ascenders, Kong Klimair, and more.
This older style safety lanyard is no longer as popular because the prusik used to adjust it is often difficult to reach around the back of the tree while climbing.
Flipline kits are a great way to get a full set of gear in one go. Kits contain your choice of flipline, ascender, and carabiner and the equipment is offered at a discounted price over buying the gear separately.
Rope fliplines or safety lanyard kits are available here with adjuster & carabiner included, plus a built-in discount.
2-in-1 flipline kits with hip prusik or adjuster allow the tree climber to use both ends of the flipline to safely climb past branches without ever being unsecured. Both non-steel-core and steel-core available.
A friction knot tied using a prusik loop is a traditional method of adjusting fliplines which is still very popular. You will find several hip prusiks and more here.
Here you will find nybuck and webbing pole climbing and work positioning straps. These are a great option for work positioning in high places other than a tree, such as utility poles, towers, and high job sites.
