As reported by the Coconut Development Board, Coconut Tree climbers are a rarity these days in coconut-growing states, with very few taking on the traditional profession. There is a reluctance to enter this field because of the occupational risk and the arduous labor involved in climbing tall coconut trees. The Innovator developed a multiple tree climber which has three variants – Coconut Tree Climber, Multi Tree Climber, and Tree Walker. The upper frame is operated by hand and the lower frame is operated by the leg. By up and down movement of the upper and lower frame, one can climb on the tree. Multi Tree Climber Equipment is suitable for climbing coconut, palm, teak, and rubber, silver oak & similar trees.
