The Teufelberger treeMOTION Pro X is quickly becoming a favorite among professional arborists who demand safety, comfort, and flexibility in their tree climbing equipment. In an industry where reliability and adaptability can be the difference between a productive day and a dangerous one, this harness stands out as a modern essential.
Why Arborists Trust the treeMOTION Pro X
Since its introduction, the treeMOTION series has set the standard for climbing harnesses in tree care. The Pro X continues that legacy, offering thoughtful enhancements based on real-world arborist feedback. Teufelberger focused on improving user comfort, expanding adjustability, and refining durability—all while ensuring the harness meets the strictest international standards.
Certified to EN813:2024, EN358:2018, ANSI Z133-2017, ASTM F887-23, CSA Z259.1-05, and AS/NZS 1891.1:2020, the Pro X is ready for professional use on any continent. Its available sizes (Small, Medium, Large) accommodate a wide range of body types and working styles.
Key Features That Set Pro X Apart
The Pro X’s 10-year lifetime guarantees value, making it a long-term companion for arborists. It achieves this through high-strength materials and a design that allows for easy maintenance. Ten replaceable components—including bridges, leg loops, and padding—extend usability while reducing waste.
Comfort is central in every detail. The Pro X uses comfort back and leg padding, and includes an extra set of thin pads. These modular options mean every user can dial in their perfect balance between cushioning and minimal bulk. Double adjustment at the waist and secure Cobra quick-release buckles ensure a precise, stable fit every day.
The dual-bridge system isn’t just about strength; it provides two attachment points with different lengths for customized rope setups—the kind of adaptability top climbers expect from their gear.
Thoughtful Upgrades Based on Arborist Feedback
Every element of the Pro X was designed to solve real pain points from previous versions in the treeMOTION line. The improved Velcro system gives padding a more secure fit, even after years of use. Critical labels are now protected inside webbing where abrasion can’t fade vital safety information.
Reinforced gear stitching increases load capacity, while the semi-matte anodized hardware not only looks sharp but also stands up to years of friction, sweat, and weather. Strong, shorter elastic bands and updated buckles reduce the likelihood of wear or unintended loosening while climbing.
For the Pro X, Teufelberger also includes an extra set of standard thin padding (from the Essential version), allowing arborists to choose their ideal setup for every job.
Simple Maintenance, Superior Longevity
Professional tree climbing equipment needs to hold up in tough conditions and be easy to repair. The Pro X delivers here: not only can arborists replace padded sections, bridges, and other high-wear parts in the field, but the entire harness is designed for tool-free adjustments and fast customizations. This makes it a sustainable choice and great investment for any business focused on gear lifecycle and safety.
Comfort and Fit for Every Climber
No two arborists are the same in body size or climbing technique. The treeMOTION Pro X covers this with three size options—Small, Medium, and Large—and wide fit ranges. It comfortably fits hip diameters from 69 to 129 cm (27–50 in) and thigh diameters from 38 to 87 cm (15–34 in), supporting users up to 150 kg (330 lbs) without sacrificing mobility.
Fine-tune padding, secure everything with high-grade buckles, and adjust bridge lengths to suit your climbing system. Whether you prefer moving rope or stationary rope work, you get peak performance with minimal fatigue.
How the Pro X Fits Into Your Tree Climbing Equipment Kit
A complete professional setup requires every component to work in harmony. The four sturdy attachment points of the Pro X support all major chest and suspender add-ons. Its dual bridges are compatible with a wide range of carabiners, pulleys, and rope systems, so you can use it for everything from pruning to complex access work.
For treecare companies, investing in harnesses like the treeMOTION Pro X means less downtime, higher worker satisfaction, and easier integration of new safety practices and tools. The replaceable parts system aligns perfectly with sustainability goals—prolonging gear life and cutting long-term costs.
Comparing Pro X and Essential X
Both harnesses deliver dual bridges, advanced Velcro, and refined hardware. The biggest difference is that the Pro X features thicker comfort padding, Cobra quick-release buckles for even faster adjustment, extra gear brackets, and dedicated red elastic bands for keeping loose webbing out of your way.
The Pro X ships with an additional set of thin pads, borrowed from the Essential version, so you can choose your favorite feel or switch for seasonal gear layering.
