Teufelberger treeMOTION Pro Climbing Harness

The Teufelberger treeMOTION Pro is a treemotion saddle built for full-time climbers who want a supportive, highly adjustable harness. Its semi-rigid waist, wide leg straps and adjustable bridge make it a favorite for long days of pruning and removals.

Why the treeMOTION Pro stands out

The treeMOTION family is one of the most popular saddle lines in tree care. The semi-rigid waist means the saddle does not fold or roll when you lean back, and the wide leg straps support you on long hangs. The Pro version adds refinements over the base model aimed at full-time climbers.

The bridge setup is adjustable, and many parts are replaceable, which helps the saddle last through years of hard work.

Climbers often mention how well the treeMOTION supports them during long hangs and removals. The semi-rigid waist spreads load, and the leg straps help keep pressure off the inside of the legs.

Spend time adjusting the bridge and leg straps so the saddle sits right.

Fit and safety

Size carefully, adjust with your climbing clothes on, and hang test before you climb. Inspect the bridge, rings, buckles and webbing before each climb. Compare with the Petzl Sequoia.

A saddle is life-support equipment: buy one that meets the applicable standard, follow the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133, inspect it before every climb and retire it when wear reaches the maker's limits. Get trained before you climb on any new system.

Accessories are a big part of the appeal. There are chest harness options, tool holders and replacement parts, so you can tune the saddle to your work as your climbing changes.
