Notch RC Grapple

Notch RC Grapple

The Notch RC Grapple is a professional work positioning assistant developed in collaboration with renowned arborist Reg Coates. Designed to improve mobility and efficiency in the canopy, it allows climbers to transition smoothly into new work positions while remaining connected to their primary climbing system.

Designed for efficient canopy movement

The RC Grapple helps arborists reposition confidently throughout the canopy without disconnecting from their main climbing line. Its compact, patent-pending folding design deploys quickly when needed and folds away neatly for storage on the harness. The aerodynamic profile allows it to pass more easily through tight branch structures, making positioning and retrieval simpler during complex climbing operations.

Professional performance with practical features

With a working load limit of 160 kg, the RC Grapple is designed for demanding professional use. Its folding design allows effortless remote retrieval by simply introducing slack into the system before pulling it back into position. The integrated scannable data matrix supports equipment tracking and traceability, helping arborists manage inspection and asset records throughout the product's service life.

Compact, durable and ready for everyday use

Manufactured from aluminium, stainless steel and a polyester tether, the RC Grapple combines strength with a lightweight design suitable for daily climbing. Measuring 29 cm long and weighing approximately 670 g (1.4 lb), it stores compactly on the harness while remaining readily available whenever additional work positioning assistance is required.
