Treemotion webbing

[atree]

My tree motion is around 6 or so years old now,The webbing from the lower d's to the red ring on the hip is needing replaced and is starting to wear.

 

Can this get replaced as its stitched to the red ring.or is it time for a new harness?

 

Cheers

At 6 years old is it not time for a new harness? I am led to believe that LOLER states replacement after 5 unless exceptional circumstances.

The Treemotion is an exceptional harness, if that counts?

Mine is pretty worn after 2 years! But I use the lower rings for lanyard 98 percent of the time. I got the replacement parts but havent fitted yet, looks straight forward enough..

I don't think it does.

 

Regulation 9 of LOLER 1998 does mention a bit about examination schemes being drawn up by the competent persons.

 

These are generally based on manufactures recommendations.

 

Most manufactures give an expected working life expectancy of up to 5 years for items prone to wear (fabric / webbing/ rope), but some give less (I have seen rope with a given working life of up to 2 years, and some harnesses are given an expectancy of up to 10 years).

 

Like most Health and Safety legislation in the UK, there are few hard and fast rules - most things are based on the competent assessment of risk.

although I totally agree that a 6 year old harness showing signs of wear in the bits that count is probably due for replacement

Have done mine. You have to cut the old ones off. Fitting is simple,feed the loop through the rings and girth hitch em. The other end you fold over and secure by the rivets supplied. 6 years is a long time to have a harness. Did well there.
