Climbing spikes for arborists and tree felling professionals
Climbing spikes, also known as tree gaffs or spurs, are attached to the legs and used for climbing trees – especially when felling trees that are to be harvested anyway. The steel or aluminum spike bites into the bark, providing a secure foothold in all tree species. Arboristbutiken offers climbing spikes from Distel, NOTCH Equipment, FTC Tree, Stein, and Edelrid – leading brands with products designed for professional use.
Distel climbing spikes are known for their comfort and ergonomics and are available in models Alu 3.1, Alu Plus 3.1, and the exclusive Carbon 3.1 Comfort made of carbon fiber – extremely lightweight and stable. Installation is easy with Velcro or Weaver straps, depending on the user's preference. NOTCH Equipment and Stein ELEVATE Climbers are robust alternatives that can withstand tough daily use. Gecko Steel Climbers are a more affordable option suitable for beginners or those who use climbing spikes less frequently.
Climbing spikes are used by arborists, tree felling professionals, and forest workers for trunk climbing and felling work. Please note that climbing spikes should never be used on trees that are to be preserved – the spikes damage the bark and cambium. We at Arboristbutiken will help you choose the right climbing spikes and associated straps for your foot and leg.
