PCI Equipment is a supplier to arborists and tree surgeons. They are also all about recycling materials. That is a very specialized niche compared to most business reviews on Unilocal. But if you have a yard with fruit trees or other under 15 foot trees in need of pruning or harvesting, they have the awesome Hasegawa orchard tripod ladders from Japan. There is no excuse if you are in search of an orchard ladder /tripod ladder to not purchase here. The price is low, the weight is best in the world, the resale value is great and they are local. You can get step ladders, extension ladders and the bendy-foldy ladders at the home despot, pro tool stores and used tool stores. But if you are looking for an orchard, tripod or three leg ladder, your options are limited. And on Craigs they are expensive. There are even some old rickety wood ones offered for an arm and a leg, which is what you will lose when they break, at minimum. PCI Equipment is the only stocking distributor in the area for these super lightweight and stable ladders. Did I say lightweight? They are unbelievably lightweight! The Hasegawa ladders are welded from precision aluminum tubing with x-rayed welds. Ridiculous Japanese quality we love. Because that is how the world should be! The Japanese Garden, the Chinese Garden and fruit growers are faithful customers of these ladders. And PCI’s price on these very ladders is very, very, very reasonable. PCI has chain saws, pruning saws, extension bypass pruners, pole saws, hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, climbing– arborist– lineman– harnesses, climbing rope, throw ropes and weights. I’ve done some outdoor rock climbing, and the equipment and suppliers cross over to tree climbing. Cool. If you need one, they have giant chippers and all the parts to repair them. Definitely a Halloween item! They can order more than they stock and have a nifty catalog covering all. They only stock pro stuff that will last, not cheap tools found at big boxes. And they have their very own demonstration tree right in the middle of the warehouse! Try the climb stuff out(if you are a pro). It’s somewhat a clubhouse for arborists who discuss tools and the trade when they cross paths at PCI. I spent some time with the staff discussing the ladders and their other products. Very helpful and knowledgeable. PCI is a great source for professional arborists, but better, they are a great source for lightweight landscape maintenance tripod ladders at very, very advantageous prices.
