Lightweight Pole Climber Kit Designed for Lineworkers' Comfort
Oct. 3, 2023
The new aluminum pole climber kit weighs only 5 lbs. per pair.
The ComfortLite Pole Climber Kit is said to be Buckingham Manufacturing's lightest and most comfortable climber kit. Weighing just 5 lbs. per pair, it is nearly 1 lb. lighter than any existing Buckingham Climber Kits.
The kit is ergonomically designed to relieve pressure points and direct pressure to non-sensitive areas of the leg while climbing. This was accomplished using both a dual layer of compression padding and a lightweight plastic cuff that achieve the ultimate fit for comfort.
Features & Benefits:
More than 4 lbs. lighter than the closest competition, according to the company.
The ComfortLite cuff is a one-piece design removing the need for additional components traditionally seen on our kits.
New weighted web-end designed to create grip, rigidity and add weight to the end of cinch strap making it easier and faster to cinch and uncinch pad.
