There is a reason why a lineman’s job is not for everyone. The lineman’s occupation entails a certain degree of danger and hazard that only those with a certain degree of fortitude and ability are well suited for the job. To minimize the hazards of the job, safety is made a top priority and the lineman safety belt is a necessity. Just as lineman clothing offers protection and lineman tools offer efficiency, the lineman safety belt offer protection and stability in order to perform work. The JHarlen Utility Tool Supply offers numerous lineman safety belts for varying needs and situations.
The most sought after selection of lineman safety belts are the Buckingham Lineman’s belts. They have traditional leather belts and newer synthetic light material belts for linemen. Their products offer a wide range of safety belts depending on the lineman’s need, preference and means. There are belts on the lower price range such as the Buckingham Lineman’s Belt 1993F. This belt made of lightweight durable material and comes in at a very light 4 pounds. The waist strap is made from neoprene impregnated nylon so that strength is not sacrificed for weight. It is equipped with floating “D” rings for a secure base while providing great flexibility and lateral movement on the pole. It also has full float 8 inch wide back pad for the lineman’s comfort and support. The Buckingham Lineman’s Belt 1993F model is priced at 193 dollars.
The Buckingham Lineman’s Belt 2013M offers the similar support and safety measures as the 1993F model. It is made from lightweight yet durable material and features an 8 inch wide back pad for support. It also adds a Drilex Liner to deal with moisture and sweat in hot weather. The 2013M model has tool loops, snaps, tape thong and two points where tool pouches can be attached. This provides a convenient means of carrying and securing tools such as lineman wrenches and hand crimp tools. The 2013M model weighs 6.7 pounds and is priced at 247.25 dollars.
On the higher end of the selection, there are safety belts like the Buckingham “Stacked D” 2019M. In addition to the Drilex Lining and the 7 inch back support pad, the 2019M model features an additional set of “D” rings for an auxiliary lanyard. This eliminates the need for a secondary lanyard and increases the ease of lateral movement. It is also designed for use in the Bucksqueeze Fall Protection System.

If the lineman slips or falls, the strap squeezes onto the pole preventing a fall and possible injury. The 2019M model weighs 6.15 pounds and is priced at 342.56 dollars
