The ARB Show 2012

 

 

PRESS RELEASE No 4: 6 June 2012

 

A great value day out – let’s make it one to remember!

 

The ARB Show 2012 offers its visitors some fantastic value

 

A great programme of technical seminars

Want to brush up on pruning standards in the revised British Standard 3998:2010? Want an update on what hardware is available for climbing and rigging? Need help with fungal identification or a better understanding of the issues relating to veteran tree management? Workshops on these key industry issues are FREE to everyone attending the ARB Show.

 

The demonstration programme

Outside, our teams of practical demonstrators are keen to help you get to grips with issues such as the single rope technique, the Rope Wrench and Unicender, tree work to veteran trees, back to basics tree felling techniques, specialised assisted felling, work positioning for pole dismantling, multi-anchor climbing techniques, harnesses, hitches and lanyards and rescue from the periphery of tree canopies. All these demonstrations are FREE.

 

The competitions

The popular and growing 3ATC (Arboricultural Association Arborist’s Tree Challenge) will run on both days with categories for novice, expert and premier climber. Subject to availability climbers may be able to enter on the day but to avoid disappointment book now Arboricultural Association Arborist Tree Challenge. The AUS Utility Skills competition comes to The ARB Show for the first time (Friday only) – booking is essential – email [email protected].

 

65 exhibitors (as at 1 June)

With products ranging from access platforms to ancient trees, books to boots, goggles to grinders, membership to MEWPs or software to saws, The ARB Show is the place to be to check out, research, compare and try before you buy.

 

Six company product launches

Stumpdrillers will show how ROTOP removes stumps quickly, safely and quietly, Workware will introduce the Faxko tripod latter system, Arborplan Insurance will be launching commercial vehicle insurance, Wilson Machinery Ltd will launch the machine-mounted Lasco hydraulic cone splitting system, Rock Croft will be launching their new mesh-specs “BX” mesh safety glasses and Stihl will launch their X-FIT arb PPE now available with a Design C trouser – all for the first time at The ARB Show 2012.

 

The Friday night party

What better way to get maximum value from The ARB Show other than to stay overnight on site (bring a bivvy bag, tent or caravan) and enjoy the Friday night party?! By popular demand the Prince Albert bar will provide entertainment and refreshments during the evening. The ARB Show 2012 is, after all, the biggest all-arb networking opportunity in 2012.

 

And your chance to win…

£560.00 (inc. VAT) worth of Stihl PPE completely free just by registering at the gate – a STIHL X-Fit Jacket @ £255.00 RRP and STIHL X-Fit Trouser (Design C) @ £305.00 RRP.

 

Don’t miss out. The ARB Show 2012 is established as “The” place to be for professional advice and professional products. It’s a great value day (or two) out.
