Donaghys has worked closely alongside certified Arborists and champion tree climbers to develop a range of arbour ropes you can hang your life on. Donaghys Arboriculture range includes climbing lines, access lines, prusik lines, rigging, lowering and crane lines. The range has been certified to both Australian and International standards, developed off US benchmarks.
Note that in New Zealand, only Armor-Prus and Spectra prusik lines meet the Arboriculture Approved Code of Practice. All Donaghys climbing and safety lines also meet this standard.
Products in this category: Spark climbing line, NRG climbing line, Response XT access line, Standard-Prus, Spectra-Prus, Armor-Prus, Rhino rigging/lowering line, Ocean12 HS rigging/crane line
Feedback from the field:
"I like the Donaghys Arborist ropes. They last longer, the outer sheath is harder wearing, it's designed tougher and has less milking"
Chris Walsh, Treetech
"I trust my life with Donaghys ropes and the lives of my emergency response teams"
Shayne O'Dwyer
Instructor & Rescue Technician, Holmesglen Institute of TAFE
"I have been using Spectra for a few years now as it has good diameter range, strength and splicability. With the new development of the Armor-Prus range I can see this as being a plus for the safety and piece of mind of climbers, as the prusik is a vital part of their system.
Having a Technora blend outer and Kevlar blend inner will meet the criteria of the working arborist with durability and strength and also on the competition climber with rapid descents. And best of all is having a local company manufacturing this product."
