What All Gear does

All Gear, Inc. is a private industrial manufacturer founded in 1997 and headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, that specializes in rope, rigging gear, and hardware for arborist, utility/lineman, marine, construction, and cell tower applications. The company sells exclusively through distributors and OEM partners, with no direct-to-consumer sales channel, and has operated for over 25 years as an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer.

The company's product portfolio spans more than 50 SKUs across multiple categories including arborist climbing lines (24-strand, 32-strand kernmantle, and 16-strand constructions), rigging bull ropes, Low Friction Rings (LFRs), rigging slings and crane slings, throw lines, prusiks, climbing harnesses and ascenders, carabiners, kits, and utility/lineman products. Core proprietary technology centers on the Husky Urethane™ coating applied across multiple product lines for abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance, along with HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fiber technology enabling steel-like strength with lightweight properties (up to 75,000 lb tensile strength in Super Swift Line). The Low Friction Ring product line uses top-grade American aluminum with aircraft-quality Teflon coating. Many products meet ANSI Z133 and ANSI Z359.1 safety standards.

The company's business model is straightforward B2B wholesale: it manufactures specialized rope and rigging equipment and sells exclusively to authorized distributors and OEMs, which then supply end users. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are organized vertically, with arborist/tree care as the primary segment, followed by utility/lineman, heavy-duty marine/industrial, construction, and cell tower/telecommunications. Marketing is conducted through YouTube product demonstration videos, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), and downloadable printable flyers distributed through the dealer network. The company maintains a multi-channel distribution with a vendor finder tool on its website to connect end customers with nearby distributors.
