Maple Leaf Ropes Inc

Marlow Ropes has been part of the MLR world for a long time, so this one feels especially good to announce.

For 2026, Marlow is joining the Vertical Expo as an Elevated Sponsor, one of the highest sponsorship levels at the show.

They’ve been an incredible partner to Maple Leaf Ropes over the years, and beyond making seriously good rope, they’ve always shown up for the industry in a meaningful way. That kind of support matters.

At Vertical Expo, the goal has always been to bring together the companies, products and people that actually move the rope world forward, and Marlow fits that perfectly.

We’re proud to have them backing this year’s event, and even more excited to have them there in person with the rest of us in Hamilton.

Huge thanks to Marlow Ropes for continuing to support MLR, our customers and the Vertical Expo.

See you October 7 to 8.

Big news for the 2026 MLR Vertical Expo — Harken is officially joining us as our Peak Sponsor! 🔥

Harken is a name that needs very little introduction in the vertical world. From arboriculture and rope access to rescue, rigging and work at height, their equipment is built for people who depend on their gear when it matters most.

This year, they’re bringing that experience to the Vertical Expo in a big way.

As our Peak Sponsor, Harken will be on site throughout the two-day event, giving attendees the chance to get hands-on with their equipment, talk directly with the people behind the products, ask questions and see their gear in action.

That’s exactly what the Vertical Expo is all about — bringing the brands, instructors and professionals who make up the vertical industries together under one roof to climb, learn, test gear and connect.

A huge thank you to the team at Harken for stepping up as a Peak Sponsor and helping us make this year’s Expo our biggest yet.

Heads up, MLR customers! 👋

We’re upgrading our internal systems from September 17–22, which means our team will be temporarily unable to process or ship new orders during this time.

The good news: you can still shop and place orders online as usual. Any orders placed during the interruption will just be processed and shipped after September 22nd.

Planning to visit our Brantford shop? We recommend stopping by today OR after these dates whenever possible, as in-store purchasing will also be temporarily unavailable.

Thanks for your patience while we make these improvements! It will be worth is in the long run!

Another OTCC in the books!

We always have a blast coming out to the Ontario Tree Climbing Championship.

The arborist community is full of some of the most passionate, skilled and genuinely great people around, and events like this are a perfect reminder of why we love being part of the industry.

It’s always a privilege to support an event that brings everyone together, catch up with familiar faces, meet some new ones, and spend the weekend with so many people we’re lucky enough to call both customers and friends.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Maple Leaf Ropes booth, and to everyone who helped make this year’s OTCC another great one. Already looking forward to the next.
