Klein manufactures a complete line of rugged, durable lineman's pole climbers and tree climbers. They incorporate all the features that professional users have found most desirable over the years. One example is adjustable sleeves that eliminate the need to buy a variety of different-size climbers. Another example is replaceable gaffs that can be installed in the field. Many companies now replace all gaffs as they become dull, rather than incur the risk of improper resharpening. When resharpening becomes necessary, for those companies or individual users who elect not to replace worn gaffs, Klein offers a gaff-sharpening kit, Cat. No. KG-2.
All Klein Pole and Tree Climbers Feature:
- Adjustable climber length. Steel sleeve moves in 1/4" (6 mm) increments for the most comfortable fit.
- Contoured leg irons help position gaffs securely and comfortably.
- Replaceable gaff firmly attaches to the leg iron with a center pin and two TORX® screws.
- 8" X 8" (203 x 203 mm) cushioned, high-grade leather climber pads for maximum comfort.
- Neoprene-impregnated nylon climber straps for long-lasting life.
- Secure sleeve and leg iron connection. Two slotted hex-head bolts with lock washers and barrel-type nuts join the steel sleeve and leg iron together.
- Steel split ring secures ankle strap in place and allows for quick replacement.
- 4-7/16" (113 mm) wide stirrup provides greater foot support.
Professional users recognize the quality that has gone into the design and construction of Klein pole and tree climbers. However, climbers cannot be more reliable than the person using them. Proper training, inspection, and maintenance are absolutely essential to prevent serious injury or even death. The cautions that follow apply to climber use. Read, understand, and follow them carefully:
WARNING: Pole and tree climbing equipment is to be used ONLY by individuals who are qualified and properly trained to use this equipment. Improper use of climbing equipment can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: For your protection, Klein recommends that climbers be replaced when original gaff and two replacement gaffs have been used on the equipment.
