Link Masters was built on a real problem.

Tim Schlothauer spent years working in landscape construction, watching crews struggle with the same challenges on every job — boulders that took too many people too long to place, B&B trees that wouldn't go in straight, palletized materials that had to be hand-unloaded because the right attachment didn't exist. The equipment was there. The solution wasn't.

So Tim built it.

Starting with an insight from an unexpected place — a children's toy — he engineered the first Pro-Safe Lift 3500®. From that first prototype to a fully field-tested product, Link Masters was founded on a simple idea: linked components working together to create strength, balance, and control.

Today Link Masters makes three attachments used by professional contractors across the country:

Today Link Masters makes three attachments used by professional contractors across the country:
Boulder Buddy®
The Boulder Buddy® is the ultimate attachment for moving and setting boulders. Lightweight, easy to use, and built to last — install boulders in minutes with no injuries, no damage, no trapped webbing or chains, and fewer crew members needed.
Tree Buddy
B&B Tree Buddy™
The B&B Tree Buddy™ is the ultimate attachment for planting B&B trees. When raised, the tree is upright and plumb and can be lowered into the hole to the correct depth on the first attempt — no damage to the tree or root ball.
Pro Safe Lift
Pro-Safe Lift 3500®
The Pro-Safe Lift 3500® is a patented attachment for loading and unloading palletized materials. Load palletized materials up to 3,500 pounds over high-sided trailers, truck beds, sitting walls, short fences, and more — eliminate manual loading completely.
