WGM Knowledge Hub

A professional arborist's kit is more than just their chainsaw and personal protective equipment (PPE). It's a comprehensive system of gear designed for efficiency, durability, and comfort. At WGM, we know that the small details can make a huge difference, which is why we’re big advocates for the wider range of equipment offered by both Arbortec. 

This article will take you beyond the core PPE to explore the essential workwear, kit bags, and accessories that are a vital part of a professional’s setup.

Kit Bags: The Foundation of an Organised Kit

In the fast-paced world of arboriculture, a well-organised kit is non-negotiable. The frustration of rummaging around for a specific piece of gear is a waste of valuable time. This is where Arbortec’s range of kit bags comes in.

• The Arbortec Cobra Bag: This is the flagship rope bag, renowned for its tough, waterproof PVC Tarpaulin construction. Its zip-top design and high capacity make it perfect for carrying climbing ropes or rigging lines. 
• The Arbortec Mamba Bag: A larger & equally durable alternative, the Mamba range is ideal for full climbing or rescue kits, or for use as an organiser within a larger setup.

 

General Workwear & Accessories

Arbortec's commitment to quality extends to their general workwear. Their jackets, hoodies, and trousers are built for the toughest conditions, offering durability and comfort without compromising on a professional aesthetic. Look for features like reinforced knees on their trousers and waterproof, breathable fabrics on their jackets.

• The Power of Layers: A good workwear system is all about layering. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an Arbortec fleece or hoodie for warmth, and top it off with one of their durable waterproof jackets.
• Essential Accessories: Small items like Arbortec’s gloves and comfortable work socks are also crucial for comfort and protection on the job. They also offer a wider range of caps, braces, casual clothing and loads more! 

Why Does This Equipment Matter?

Choosing professional-grade equipment, even for items that aren't technically PPE, is a wise long-term investment. It means less time worrying about your gear and more time focusing on the job. The durability of Arbortec products means they will withstand daily use, saving you money in the long run.
