Description
The Buckingham EZ Squeez 490R is a wood-pole fall-restriction device built with a rope inner strap and sized for distribution-class poles. It is designed for utility linemen who need a dependable, easy-to-operate restraint while gaff-climbing distribution poles.
The EZ Squeez family is Buckingham's lightweight alternative to traditional pole straps — one-handed adjustment, fast engagement on the pole, and a "squeeze" grip that keeps the climber positively connected if a gaff kicks out. The 490R uses a rope inner strap for durability, flexibility, and a soft feel around the pole.
Features:
- Wood-pole fall-restriction device designed to meet OSHA requirements for pole climbing.
- Rope inner strap — durable, flexible, and conforms smoothly to the pole.
- Fast one-handed operation for efficient setup and repositioning.
- Sized for distribution poles.
- Lightweight compared to traditional pole straps, reducing climber fatigue.
- Made by Buckingham Mfg. in the USA.
