Rigging Rope / Edge Protection
A transparent heat shrink tubing used to protect pre-placed end markings on the ends of ropes and cords.
The Petzl Protec flexible protector is designed to protect a fixed rope from abrasion when working at height or during rescue. Easy to install, durable and versatile, the Protec fits most rope diameters used by professionals, as well as anchor straps.
The Canvas Rope Protectors are popular for situations where a localised area of rope protection is required from limited abrasion. With a durable dual layer canvas construction, they can be installed directly on the rope or secured to the structure using a combination of the attached cord plus the hook and loop closures provided.
An internal Aramid layer sits between two layers of heavy duty canvas, effectively protecting ropes from the type of sharp or abrasive hazards commonly found at abseil and tope rope sites. Tie-in cords allow quick and easy installation anywhere along a rope’s length.
The DMM Edgehog is a durable 316 stainless steel device designed for rope access and other uses where ropes run through industrial deck gratings (Kennedy Gratings).
The Petzl Roller Coaster protector is designed to help protect a moving rope from abrasion. Reversible, with different frame shapes on either side that allow it to adapt to flat or angled surfaces. Multiple connection holes allow the use of different attachment methods. It’s possible to connect multiple modules to better adapt to different types of terrain.
Lyon Equipment’s Edge Guard has a patented design that makes efficient use of forces created when a rope is loaded in order to protect both surfaces and ropes from abrasion damage. Made entirely from polished stainless steel, the Edge Guard’s clever design was inspired by the knowledge and experience of the passionate climbers in the Lyon Equipment team. The Lyon Edge Guard is designed to reduce friction on ropes while at the same time using the load created by ropes to improve the end plates’ grip on plate edges like steel toe boards. This camming action locks the Edge Guard firmly to the edge it protects, eliminating movement and keeping ropes gliding freely without any risk of abrasion.
The CMC Ultra-Pro edge protector is one of the most sought-after edge protection on the market. It features super slick, high-performance material that not only protects your rope from sharp or rough edges, but also greatly reduces friction. The CMC Ultra-Pro edge protector is lighter and easier to transport than edge rollers or similar devices, and its lower profile avoids tipping often encountered with taller devices. It conforms to the edge, and prevents sharp bends in the rope. Carabiner holes in all four corners allow the CMC Ultra-Pro edge protector to be tied off for safety or linked together for extended protection.
