About Buckingham

Buckingham builds climbing equipment in the United States for tree workers and utility linemen. Their steel climbers are a removal-crew standard, sold with different pad options such as Big Buck pads and T-pads, and their BuckAlloy replacement gaffs are a common upgrade or replacement when original gaffs are worn.

Buckingham also makes climbing saddles, positioning lanyards and parts. Remember that spurs are for removals and emergency access only, not for pruning live trees. Keep gaffs sharp to the manufacturer's profile, check straps and pads for wear, and get trained before climbing on spurs.
