The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has released the ANSI Z133 safety requirements which apply to arboricultural operations.
Arborist Climbing Ropes are required to have a minimum breaking strength of 5,400 lb (24 kN) when new, and should be no smaller than 1/2” (12.7mm) unless the employee has been trained in the use of smaller line (down to 7/16” / 11mm), and the line's working elongation should not exceed 7% at 540 lb load.
ArborMaster® rope meets ANSI Z133-2017 standards.
The full ANSI Z133 safety requirements are available on our tree care standards page.
Rated: Excellent Review by: Matthew
“Awesome rope. Very strong and does a great job resisting abrasion. Very good rope for knots, and smooth to climb on. ”
Rated: Excellent Review by: Joshua Rugg
“This rope has by far been one of the best investments I have made to my arsenal of climbing gear. It is very strong, resists abrasion well and yet soft on your hands. When choosing to upgrade to a new rope, don't hesitate and pick yourself up a hank of ArborMaster. ”
