Descenders, ascenders and rope grabs
The core of every rope access kit is the hardware that moves you along the rope. The ascenders and descenders range covers chest and hand ascenders, industrial descenders and back up devices from Skylotec, CAMP, CMC and Climbing Technology, and the power ascenders page holds the motorised units for long climbs and rescue lifting. Every device lists its rope diameter range, so check it against the rope you run before ordering.
Rope, cord and connectors
Rope access runs on low stretch kernmantle rope, and the rope and cord page carries it by the metre and in standard lengths, alongside accessory cord and prusik cord and loops for friction hitches. Connectors live on the karabiners, maillons and hooks page, with triple lock and screw gate options rated for industrial use.
Harnesses and helmets for rope work
A rope access technician sits in the harness all day, which is why the rope access harnesses page separates sit harnesses and work positioning models from the general fall arrest range. Pair them with a vented, chin strapped helmet from the safety helmets range.
Anchors and rigging
Rigging a safe system takes more than rope: the rigging gear page covers pulleys, rigging plates and swivels, and anchor points for structural and roof connections sit under roof anchors and anchor points and anchor slings and straps.
Kits, bags and accessories
Rope and pod bags protect rope in transport and on site, and the range rounds out with edge protectors, rope washes and the small hardware that keeps a kit serviceable.
