Almost everyone likes to climb trees. Tree climbing is a joy. In the past, there were a lot of trees, and little boys and girls used to climb trees as a game. At that time almost everyone could climb trees more or less. Especially coconut trees, palm trees, and date trees are quite difficult to climb, but they could do it. But nowadays boys often grow up confined to the house. Tree climbing becomes an unusual and difficult task for them due to a lack of habit. Climbing is an activity that needs to be practiced from childhood. That’s why most people can’t climb trees nowadays. But the desire to climb the tree remains in their minds. Many times we want to climb coconut trees and bring down coconuts. But it is not possible to climb these big trees due to a lack of tree-climbing habits. In the case of bringing down coconuts have to depend on others. Those who do tree climbing professionally, are called to bring down coconuts. They demand a lot of money to climb each tree. I myself have run into this problem several times. I found a way to solve such a problem.
If a tree-climbing machine can be made, then this problem will not exist. Therefore, I made a climbing machine. Through this machine, coconut trees and palm trees can be climbed very easily. It is very easy to make this coconut tree climbing machine. I discussed in detail what materials I used and what method I follow to make this machine.
Materials:
The materials I used to make this coconut tree climbing machine are discussed below in detail.
Rectangular iron Pipe:
This tree-climbing machine is a structure made of 1-inch rectangular iron pipes. I bought this iron pipe from the local market. Such iron pipes can be bought for 100 rupees per kg. I need 8 kg iron pipe to make this machine. The iron pipe can be of different value in different places.
Sandals:
There are two parts of this coconut tree climbing machine. The feet have to be set on the bottom part. It needs to be set with the leg. In such a way that when the leg is raised, this part will also be raised with it. That’s why I have fitted a pair of sandals in this part. In this case, if you wear sandals, the lower part will be set with the feet.
Nut-Bolts:
This machine has two parts, one part can be seated and the other part is a place to step. An L-type curved rod is used to fit these two-part with trees, which can be opened and fitted as desired by means of a nut bolt.
Spray paint:
I used spray color to paint this machine. I bought this spray color from the local market. Each spray costs 100 rupees. This spray color is also available to buy online.
Machines that I Have Used to Make It:
I discussed the machines, that I used to make this coconut tree climbing machine.
Rod Cutter:
This machine is made of rectangular iron pipe. In that case, I used a 14-inch chop saw to cut the pipe. This chop saw is from the bosch company. Its model is GCO-220. It is an electric machine. It can be used to cut all types of metal. This 2200-watt machine weighs 8 kg. It uses a 355 mm cutting disc.
Ibell Welder Machine:
A welder machine is required for welding iron pipes. I used a welder machine from Ibell company here. This welder is 220 volts. It has both MAG and MMA available. I bought this welder online. Below is the link to buy online.
Angle Grinder:
The welded part becomes slightly uneven. I used an angle grinder to sand these parts. These angle grinders are used in various tasks. Like polishing, sanding, cutting, etc. I bought this Bosch Angle Grinder online.
Dimensions:
How to Make:
First, we cut the rectangular pipes to the specified size. This machine will need to be set with the tree to climb the tree. For this, a part of this machine will need to be opened and closed through a nut. To fit this nut, holes should be made in the iron pipe. I made the holes with a bench drill. Then we made the structure by welding it with a welder. I fitted a pair of sandals with the lower part of the machine. Once the machine was built I painted it with spray color. This spray color takes fifteen to twenty minutes to dry.
Necessity:
A machine means that we need it in some way. Almost every house in the village has a coconut tree. In addition, several houses in the city have coconut trees. Coconut is loved by all of us. Coconut also plays an important role in worship offerings. Besides, various delicacies are made with coconut. But collecting coconuts from trees is a difficult task. Not everyone can climb coconut trees. In this case, the coconut tree climbing machine is very useful. Climbing the coconut tree can be done very easily through it. I myself collect coconuts through this climbing machine.
Caution:
Climbing is hard work, and there are risks involved, be it tree climbing or mountain climbing. That’s why you have to be careful. Must be climbing slowly. Can’t show too much speed or busyness. Besides, the climbing machine should be held well, so that there is no possibility of falling. In addition, when the machine is set on the coconut tree, then its plays must be properly tightened, so that it does not open. Beside it is better to use a safty belt for more safty.Tree climbing should not be done during rain or when the tree becomes slippery after rain. There may be a possibility of slipping and falling. Also, trees sway a lot during strong winds or storms. Do not climb trees during this time. Children should never climb trees with this tree-climbing machine.
Some Homemade and Professional Tree Climbing Machines:
Several professional coconut tree climbing machines are available in the market. Professional tree climbers use them. Besides, there are many types of homemade tree-climbing machines. All tree-climbing machines are made in the same manner. Only the structure and shape are slightly changed.
