FELCO 938 - Universal Drop-Prevention Tool Adapter Kit - High-Friction Silicone Wrap & D-Ring Attachment Straps

FELCO 938 - Universal Drop-Prevention Tool Adapter Kit - Silicone Wrap & D-Ring Attachment Straps

Elevated pruning on ladders, cherry pickers, or dense canopies demands tool tethering on equipment without integrated lanyard points. The FELCO 938 retrofits secateurs, loppers, and folding saws using self-fusing silicone tape and three multi-size D-ring webbing straps, creating a secure interface for the FELCO 939 safety lanyard.

The 3-metre silicone roll adheres to itself without sticky residue, forming a weather-resistant high-grip bond around tool handles. Impact-resistant hardware withstands the sudden jarring force of a dropped tool, protecting ground crews and preventing equipment loss in heavy undergrowth.

Best For: Arborists, commercial orchardists, utility line clearers, and municipal landscapers who need a retrofittable drop-prevention solution for elevated manual pruning work.

Key Features:

• Universal Tool Adaptability: Retrofits secateurs, loppers, and folding saws lacking integrated lanyard rings or slots.
• Self-Fusing Silicone Tape: 3 m roll creates high-grip, weather-resistant bonds without adhesive residue.
• Multi-Size D-Ring Straps: Three webbed straps with high-tensile metal D-rings fit various handle diameters.
• Rugged Fall-Protection Integrity: Impact-resistant materials maintain structural integrity under sudden drop force.
• Enhanced Workspace Safety: Eliminates dropped-tool injury risk and retrieval losses in dense undergrowth.

Primary Field & Utility Applications

• Elevated Orchard Pruning: Securing secateurs and saws while climbing ladders or operating cherry pickers.
• Park & Street Tree Maintenance: Tether points on loppers during elevated canopy and street tree work.
• Infrastructure-Adjacent Work: Tool security over water features, complex infrastructure, or irretrievable terrain.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Wrap silicone tape with 50% overlap and stretch firmly during application for maximum self-fusion. Test the D-ring attachment with a controlled drop from knee height before working at elevation. Inspect wraps monthly and re-wrap if tape shows cracking or loosening.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
