Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can a standard platform support?

Most aluminum frames safely hold up to 300 pounds. This rating includes your body weight plus all your heavy winter clothing and hunting pack. You must check the specific limit stamped on the metal frame before purchasing. Overloading the base compromises the structural integrity.

What happens if I encounter branches while climbing?

You cannot use a climbing stand on a tree with low limbs. The cables must maintain uninterrupted contact with the trunk all the way up to your desired height. Attempting to unhook the cables to bypass a branch is extremely dangerous. Always scout for tall and completely straight trees before the season begins.

How do the foot straps work during an ascent?

Heavy rubber straps or bungee cords slide directly over your hunting boots. These straps secure your feet to the bottom platform so you can pull the metal frame upward with your legs. A tight fit prevents the base from falling down the tree if you lose your grip.

Why do I need a lineman climbing strap?

A lineman strap keeps you securely attached to the tree while you adjust your position. It wraps around the trunk and connects to the side loops on your safety harness. This heavy rope catches your body immediately if the platform shifts.
