zubat is a type of hand saw manufactured by silky

gaffs are spikes

grcs is a type of lowering bollard that can also lift the rigged section

zubat - a model of arborist handsaw, the zubat features a curved blade which is more efficient, and looks much cooler.

gaff/s - (spike's maybe) Yep. Specifically the pointy spike which is attached to the frame

GRCS - Good Rigging Control System

ddd trees - diseased, damaged, disordered (?)

 

Josh is probably closer than I am on that last one.
