The WillHammer Arborist Load‑Bearing Harness™ is engineered for climbers who demand stability, comfort, and full‑body support during long suspension work. Developed by Maximus WillHammer, award‑winning inventor featured on the History Channel, this harness introduces a breakthrough in arborist safety: a true kinetic load‑bearing design that eliminates the pain, pinch, and spinal compression caused by traditional saddles.

Unlike standard arborist harnesses that rely on floating seats and sliding belts, the WillHammer harness uses a 2–4 point spreader bar system that connects the legs, chest, and waist into a unified load‑bearing frame. This creates a balanced suspension posture that distributes weight evenly across the body — reducing hip crush, preventing spine twist, and dramatically improving comfort during long hangs.

Built on the proven FallMaster platform, this arborist‑specific model adds:

• Front‑mounted spreader bar for upright suspension

• Kinetic load‑bearing body harness for full‑frame support

• Adjustable heavy‑duty tool lanyard system capable of securing chainsaws

• Stable positioning for canopy movement and overhead cutting

• Reduced fatigue and improved posture during extended climbs

For arborists who spend hours aloft, this harness is a work‑life upgrade. It protects your spine, supports your hips, stabilizes your posture, and gives you the reach and comfort needed for safe, efficient canopy work.

This is not just another saddle — it’s a next‑generation suspension system built for professionals who climb hard, work high, and demand better gear.

The harness features a rugged Nylon Cordura® outer shell, a ½‑inch condensed foam core, and a polycarbonate reinforcement plate that maintains structure under load. The interior is lined with 100% cotton for breathable comfort during long periods in the saddle. A 7,000 lb‑rated nylon webbing belt and a 4,000 lb‑rated quick‑connect buckle provide industrial‑grade strength, while a steel D‑ring supports rigging, positioning, and tool tethering.

The integrated Arborist Spreader Bar System stabilizes the climber’s posture during suspension, reducing hip pinch and improving comfort during long hangs. The adjustable tool lanyard allows secure attachment of chainsaws, handsaws, and arborist tools, preventing dropped‑object hazards while maintaining full mobility in the canopy.
