TT TRSMIMA Steel Wire Core Flipline — 8ft Arborist Climbing Cable Lanyard Kit with Swivel Snap Hook & Triple Lock Carabiner

Overview

TT TRSMIMA presents an 8 ft flipline designed for arborists who work aloft. The core uses galvanized steel wire with a 1/2 inch diameter (≈13.26 mm) and a 7x19 strand construction for a balanced blend of strength and flexibility. The outer polyester wrap is bright and high-visibility, helping you track the line against bark, branches, and daylight. This combination supports steady positioning as you move from trunk to limb, while a rugged hardware set adds reliability to everyday climbs.

Key features at a glance

• Galvanized steel wire rope: 1/2 inch (≈13.26 mm), 7x19 strands for dependable strength and manageable flex
• Maximum breaking strength: 22.6 kN (about 5000 lbs) for robust performance in typical arborist tasks
• Neon polyester overwrap: enhanced grip and high visibility for safer handling
• Swivel steel hook (alloy-forged): high bearing capacity with automatic lock and corrosion resistance

Hardware, grip, and control

• D-ring triple-lock carabiner: 3,600 lb gate strength and 5,000 lb breaking strength with one-hand operation
• Rope adjuster: fixed-pin aluminum unit with anti-slip texture and a tensile capability around 15 kN
• Rope construction blends nylon and polyester with aviation aluminum components for strength without excessive weight

How to use

This flip line is intended to hook to one side of your harness, wrap around the tree or pole, and attach to the opposite side. As you climb, you slide the line upward to maintain a stable body angle, and you can shorten the loop as the tree narrows. It’s designed to feel intuitive after a few practice climbs at a low height.

Practical considerations

• Not suitable for rappelling or use near electrical hazards
• Best used with a compatible arborist or lineman harness that features hip D-rings on both sides
• Training and supervision are recommended to maximize safety and effectiveness

Safety and real-world use

While the flipline offers solid support for work positioning, safety comes from proper training, adherence to guidelines, and using equipment as part of a complete fall-protection setup. The kit’s sturdy construction and lockable hardware are designed to perform reliably under outdoor conditions and sun exposure, making it a practical option for many climbing tasks where stability and control matter.
