Dead Man Kit - Wired

Where trees are being installed in urban environments, care must be taken to avoid utilities and services and it is therefore not always possible to drive anchors into the ground. The Wired Dead Man Kit uses high tensile wires over rubber rootball protectors to spread the load and prevent damage. These are then attached to heavy objects such as sleepers and kerbstones that may already be in place to weigh down the tree. Well compacted subsoil is then placed over the sleepers and kerbstones to provide added weight and security for the tree.

Wire Kit Components

  • High tensile wire
  • Rubber rootball protectors
  • Ratchet tensioner

Dead Man Kit - Strap

This tried and tested system has been incorporated into many rail, utilities and urban projects across the UK. By utilising sleepers or kerbstones this provides the perfect solution for situations where you cannot drive traditional anchors into the ground due to underground utilities or in non-displaceable ground. Like the Rootball Strap Kit, the Dead Man Strap Kit will prevent leaning trees, offering peace of mind for the installer. Simple to install, the webbed strapping includes a ratchet tensioner that provides the ideal level of fastening whilst also preventing damage to the tree’s root structure.

Strapping Kit Components

Drop – Man Kit – Wired

The Drop-Man Kit is our newest system to join our tree kit range. As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and providing solutions for our clients we designed a new tree kit system that works in a similar way to our Dead Man Kit. The Drop-Man plates are used to weigh down the tree when traditional anchors cannot be used and there are no heavy objects already available on site to use with a Dead Man Kit. Having all components in one kit makes it easier and more cost effective than having to source kerbstones or sleepers separately.

Wire Kit Components

  • 3 x Drop-Man plates
  • High tensile wire slings
  • Rubber rootball protectors
  • Ratchet Tensioner
BUY

Drop – Man Kit – Strap

The Drop-Man plates are attached to high tensile wire which is then looped onto the tensioning strap which is placed over the rootball. The Drop-Man plates are lightweight but provide enough surface area in their concaved shape to hold down trees of up to 7.5m tall. The webbed strapping has a built-in ratchet and includes a ratchet tensioner to provide the ideal level of fastening in a fast and easy to use method.
