SRT Equipment – The Gold Standard for Arborist & Forestry Climbing

When you’re up in the canopy, every centimetre counts. Whether you’re pruning a venerable oak, felling a hazardous tree or conducting a detailed survey, the right climbing kit can be the difference between a job done safely and a day ruined by equipment failure. At Radmore & Tucker we understand that professionals demand gear that is as reliable as it is innovative – which is why our SRT range brings together the world’s most trusted manufacturers, including Stein SRT, Petzl and ISC.

Our collection isn’t just a list of products; it’s a curated toolbox designed to let you work faster, climb higher and stay safe without compromise. From single‑rope wrenches that deliver a smooth 1:1 ascent to rugged foot loops that stand up to the toughest tree‑work environments, each item has been tested against exacting standards before it reaches your hands.

Why Choose SRT?

• Precision Engineering: Every component is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent friction and predictable performance.
• Lightweight Yet Durable: Advanced materials such as Dyneema and high‑grade aluminium keep the gear light enough for long days aloft without sacrificing strength.
• Versatility: Our systems work seamlessly with both single‑rope (SRT) and double‑rope techniques, giving you the flexibility to adapt on the fly.

SRT Rope Wrenches – Master the Single‑Rope Technique

The rope wrench is the heart of any SRT system. Designed to let you ascend and descend on a single line using a friction hitch, our Stein SRT wrenches deliver an astonishing 1:1 ratio – one foot of rope pulled equals one foot of upward movement. This contrasts sharply with the slower 2:1 double‑rope setups, giving you smoother, more efficient climbs.

Key features include:

• Self‑Locking Mechanism: Engages a straight‑descent device for controlled lowering without extra gear.
• Low Profile Design: When not engaged, the wrench sits flush against the rope, eliminating snag points and allowing free movement during ascent.
• Ergonomic Handles: Rubberised grips reduce hand fatigue on long days aloft.

Wrench Tethers – Secure Your Friction Hitch

A well‑installed tether is essential for the friction hitch to function correctly. Our SRT tethers are crafted to provide ample space for the hitch while remaining short enough to keep your climbing system compact and responsive.

Foot Ascenders – Hands‑Free Climbing Power

The foot ascender is a game‑changer for arborists who prefer a hands‑free ascent. Clip it onto your boot, and the device allows rope movement in one direction only. As you step up, the ascender slides smoothly; once weight is applied, it locks securely, supporting you as you stand.

Remember to detach the rope before descending – safety first!

Foot Loops – The Unsung Hero of SRT Systems

Our heavy‑duty Dyneema foot loops are engineered for strength and comfort. They fit snugly around your boot without compromising mobility, and their semi‑permanent attachment method lets you tie the laces over the loop for added security.

• High Tensile Strength: Tested to exceed industry safety standards.
• Size Variety: Available in multiple lengths to match any boot profile.
• Weather‑Resistant: UV‑stable and water‑repellent, perfect for the unpredictable British climate.
