Friction rope
(3 products)
Friction cords are a central part of the climbing and work positioning system for arborists. These ropes are used together with friction hitches and mechanical systems to create controlled friction, smooth adjustment, and secure positioning in the tree.
In this category, you will find durable hitch cords and friction lines in various materials, dimensions, and constructions – designed to provide an optimal balance between grip, heat resistance, and lifespan.
-
Hitch cords – pre-sewn or spliced for consistent performance.
-
Heat-resistant materials – such as Vectran and aramid blends that can withstand high friction.
-
Various diameters – to match climbing ropes and desired friction levels.
The right friction cord provides better control during descent, smoother hitch function, and reduced wear on both main rope and equipment. Whether you use classic hitches or modern systems, here you will find ropes that deliver consistent performance in professional tree climbing.
Tip: Always match the diameter and material to your climbing rope and hitch configuration for best grip and lifespan.
