There’s innovation that invents and then there’s innovation that refines. What if we all agreed that it is the refining part of the inventive process that takes a product — in this case a ladder treestand — and transforms it into something that obliterates expectations?
If that’s something you can buy into, then it’s safe to say that’s what we have here. A company known as Primal Treestands took the “old way” of installing a ladder stand and started over; creating a system that simplifies the process, saves a hunter valuable time and makes the effort much safer.
Introducing the Grip Jaw System and Backbone Stabilizer Truss
In short, the innovation is a system made of two key components. Each works together to make setting up a Primal Treestands ladder stand extremely safe and it gives the hunter a quiet, rock solid stand that can be placed on almost any tree.
Here’s those two critical components:
-
The Primal Grip Jaw
This is the only ladder-stand system available to utilize a ratcheting mechanism to engage your treestand gripping jaws. Primal’s Patented Jaw System uses a 1-inch strap and ratchet to engage two locking jaws so your ladder stand is rock-solid before you ever leave the ground.
-
The Backbone Stabilizer Truss
The Backbone Stabilizer Truss accomplishes three things: it eliminates noise, it increases the sturdiness of the stand and it provides versatility when setting up the stand. With the Truss, a cable system applies pressure to the ladder sections at all times eliminating the noise. Versatility is achieved by the use of our stabilizer strap versus a conventional stabilizer bar. While the strap can be offset to the right, left, or the back, a standard stabilizer bar has to have a direct connection to the tree at all times.
These two — the primal grip jaw and backbone stabilizer truss — work together as a unique system.
Here’s How the System Works

You can see how the jaw is capable of clamping around any healthy, regulation tree. That, along with the reinforcing truss, essentially gives control back to hunters by making it easier to take advantage of the best hunting sites available.
