Introduction
DMM, in collaboration with Treemagineers Ltd, develops high-performance equipment for arborists, focusing on innovative design, quality materials, and advanced manufacturing techniques. All products are manufactured in North Wales.
Impact Blocks
Designed for tree care, forestry, and rescue operations, Impact Blocks offer high strength and durability. They are CE certified, made from 6082-T6 aluminum with stainless steel components, and have a minimum breaking strength (MBS) of 200 kN for small and 300 kN for large blocks, with working load limits (WLL) of 40 kN and 60 kN, respectively.
Hitch Climbers
These devices combine a rigging plate with a pulley for efficient configurations and direct textile connections. Certified to EN795B and EN12278 standards, they are made from 2014 T6 aluminum and stainless steel, with options for oilite bushings or ball bearings.
Pinto Pulleys
Designed for rescue, fall protection, and rigging, Pinto Pulleys feature hot forged curves for textile friendliness. They are CE certified, made from 7075 T6 aluminum with stainless steel spindles. The Pinto Rig Pulley has a strength of 44 kN, while the standard Pinto Pulley has 36 kN.
Hubs
Rigging Hubs are versatile for organizing anchor systems, compatible with various hardware and textiles. They are CE certified and made from 7075 T6 aluminum. The large hub has a maximum breaking strength (MBS) of 150 kN, while the small hub has 80 kN.
Anchor Rings
Simple, functional junctions for multiple attachments, Anchor Rings are certified to EN795B. Made from 7075 T6 aluminum, they come in four sizes with a strength of 30 kN.
Thimbles
Equalizing Thimbles are high-strength, corrosion-resistant components for rope protection and mechanical advantage systems. Made from 17-4 PH stainless steel, they support strengths of up to 40 kN.
ANSI Carabiners
Designed for safety and efficiency, these carabiners feature various shapes and locking mechanisms. They are ANSI certified and made from heat-treated aluminum, offering strengths up to 38 kN.
Locksafe Carabiners
Providing secure connections, Locksafe Carabiners feature I-Beam construction and Taperlock noses for increased strength and resistance. They are individually marked for traceability and made in Wales.
