Upgrade your Notch Rope Runner Vertec with the Aeris Friction Body Kit. It swaps the lower bollard for a moving pulley, cutting friction for lightning-fast descents and effortless slack tending during limb walks. Install in under a minute, retain CE certification, and unlock quicker canopy movement for advanced, speed-oriented arborists.
Designed for professional tree climbers who want to upgrade the Vertec to prioritize speed, the Notch Aeris Friction Body Kit replaces the lower bollard with a compact, free-running pulley. The result: less friction, faster controlled descents, and even smoother slack flow for limb walks and technical canopy moves. Installation takes under a minute—no fuss—while the Rope Runner Vertec maintains its CE certification.
The Aeris prioritizes speed and tending efficiency without sacrificing control. Ideal for advanced users who like “zero to hero” descents; it turns a smooth device into a smooth and fast device.
