Rope Grabs
Working at elevations on scaffolding, towers, antennas and derricks, and while performing bridge construction, window cleaning, painting, steel erection and general maintenance are only a few of the uses for the Rope Grab
The Rope Grab can be removed and attached at any point on the 5/8" (16mm) or 3/4" (20mm) approved three strand synthetic polysteel dropline, and will travel automatically up and down the dropline as the worker carries out his/her tasks. The totally hands free operation of the Rope Grab permits the worker freedom of movement for climbing or descending structures. Should a fall occur, the 2806 will lock onto the dropline and arrest the fall.
The use of an approved lanyard properly connected between the Rope Grab and the back D-ring of your fall arrest harness (or body belt) offers an extension of movement that is needed for certain applications. Hy-Safe's Rope Grab (work positioning) provides hands free lateral movement.
Hy-Safe recommends the use of a Soft Pak shock absorbing lanyard (SAL) as replacement for standard lanyards 2 feet or longer. The SAL drastically reduces the arrest forces generated in a fall. The use of a longer lanyard for work positioning may be used if the potential free fall distance is less than 6 feet.
Rope Grabs are only part of a complete fall protection program.
All Hy-Safe Rope Grabs are available complete with web lanyards (with or without approved shock absorbers) permanently attached for added fall protection.
Hy-Safe Rope Grabs are not intended for horizontal use or at angles of more than 60° from the vertical.
