The pedal of the Krinner Ultra Grip XXL Christmas tree stand immediately impresses with its significantly larger contact surface. Additionally, the anti-slip feature ensures optimal grip for your foot/shoe sole when operating the foot pedal. The continuous cable guide of the original all-around single-cable technology guarantees even pressure from the claws on the trunk. Simply place the tree in the stand, step on the foot pedal, and you're done. Whether thick, thin, or crooked, the tree stands securely and perfectly straight. The patented safety bell in the foot pedal audibly signals when the claws are securely and firmly gripping the tree and when the foot lever's lock has automatically engaged. This eliminates the need to bend down to check if the tree is stable or to secure the foot lever. Additionally, the patented safety belt, with its gradually opening mechanism, provides extra safety and prevents unwanted tipping. The included centering device allows for easy adjustment.
