Suitable for ropes up to 13 mm in diameter, it helps protect the tree while supporting smoother rope movement during climbing and positioning. This accessory is intended as branch protection only and is not an anchor point.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProtects branches during rope installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nUsing the same principle as the FTC Rope Sleeve, the Rope Tube creates a protective barrier between the climbing rope and the branch. The PVC-coated sleeve helps reduce direct contact with the bark, supporting good tree care practices while allowing the rope to move more freely during climbing. This makes it suitable for repeated ascents, work positioning, and canopy movement where branch protection is important.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFlexible construction for reliable performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nManufactured from spiral steel with a durable PVC coating, the Rope Tube combines flexibility with strength for regular professional use. The protective sleeve measures 70 cm in length and is designed for climbing ropes up to 13 mm in diameter. The rope can be inserted or removed through the splice, allowing straightforward installation and removal without unnecessary complications during setup.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSimple handling for everyday arborist work\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nCompact and lightweight, the Rope Tube is easy to transport and deploy as part of a professional climbing kit. Its flexible design allows it to sit naturally over branches while maintaining rope protection throughout the climbing operation. Suitable for a wide range of arborist climbing applications, it provides a practical solution for reducing bark wear without adding unnecessary complexity to rope installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects tree branches from rope abrasion during climbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for climbing ropes up to 13 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC-coated sleeve reduces friction against bark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiral steel construction provides flexibility and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70 cm length supports effective branch protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRope can be inserted and removed through the splice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight design is easy to transport and deploy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports smoother rope movement during climbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for branch protection and not as an anchor point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FTC","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":53895906230615,"sku":"FTC\/PB-13","price":14.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0785\/8263\/files\/FTC-Rope-Tube-Branch-Protection-System-21mm-70cm.jpg?v=1784785127","url":"https:\/\/treeworker.com\/products\/ftc-rope-tube-branch-protection-system-13mm-70cm","provider":"www.treeworker.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
