Rope Grabs

What Is A Rope Grab?

A Rope Grab is an essential part of a fall arrest system that can lock a climber into place on their line. These flipline adjusters will follow a climber up and down a line as they ascend or descend on their rope. In the unfortunate event of a fall, the rope clamp locks automatically, which can potentially prevent injury and equipment damage. Rope Grabs are especially handy when doing rigorous climbs on a vertical lifeline.

Alternative Terms For Rope Grabs:

  • Rope Clamp
  • Rope Brake
  • Rope Stopper
  • Rope Cam Lock
  • Flipline Adjuster

How Do Rope Brakes Work Within A Fall Arrest System?

In the event of a fall, a Rope Grab will lock automatically. This is a potentially life-saving feature and can also prevent serious damage to equipment. A climber keeps a rope grab attached to their body to prevent accidental slipping down a rope. Since rope brakes automatically progress with the climber, they allow increased freedom without having to sacrifice their own security.

PELICAN ROPE  1/2" - Rig Master™ 3 Strand Composite Rope

Great Price

Tom H.
Quality as good as any other rope I've used. I have climbed trees for over 20 years. This rope works well for climbing, rigging, or pulling trees. I prefer a braided nylon for climbing (knot will allow faster descent then the twisted), however this rope surprised me how well it allowed descent. For the price, I will be ordering more..
