This product was “unboxed” by Corey J. Shepard at the Unboxing Ring on the show floor during TCI EXPO 2019 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Unboxing Ring is a product-spotlight area of TCI EXPO that provides select exhibitors the opportunity to feature their newest products. If you missed the Unboxing Ring product reviews at last year’s TCI EXPO, put it on your itinerary for this year’s event, October 29-31, 2020, in Baltimore, Maryland. You want to be the first to know about all the new innovations the tree care industry has to offer.
One of the health-related issues that climbers throughout the industry struggle with is repetitive stress on muscles and joints. Climbing activities, such as ascending tall trees, can be harmful to joints and muscles. Ronin, based in Placentia, California, has addressed that problem by designing an innovative climbing tool that allows climbers to access the tops of the trees with significantly reduced repetitive stress. It is a battery-powered personal ascender called the Ronin Lift, and it has allowed many climbers to be more efficient and productive on a daily basis.
