Description

About the Ridgegear RGA10 Steel Rope Grab for 16mm Rope:

  • The RGA10 is designed to provide vertical/inclined fall protection to operatives ascending or descending a ladder or structure.
  • This version of the rope grab is for use with 16mm Hawser Laid Rope Only.
  • This unit can be equipped with or without a shock pack that cannot be removed, however due to the “gate opening” method of attachment, the RGA10 offers positive closure and good camming action.
  • The locking cam on this device is toothed and arrests well on the hawser laid rope.
  • When used in conjunction with the RGA10R hawser laid rope, the RGA10 provides excellent protection as a vertical fall protection system, normally used in heavy industrial areas where fouling and debris will be transferred to the rope.
  • The RGA10 is fitted with a shock pack to minimize loading transferred to the anchors.
  • When in use, it is recommended that slight tension is placed on the rope to aid movement, as with all highly flexible systems.
  • In working conditions it is usual to provide additional fall protection equipment to protect the user when detaching from the device at height.
