up Devices
ISC standard Ropegrabs are available with fixed or removable (Pip
Pin) axles. The Pip Pin axle is quick and easy to fit/release and allows
the Ropegrab to be fitted to the rope at any point, without detaching
from the user’s harness.
ISC Ropegrabs can be used on work positioning lanyard/fliplines as
well as part of vertical fall arrest systems.

The Rocker
tm
can be fitted to the rope at any point and
can be used hands-free as a self-tailing device when
travelling up or down the rope. The Rocker is designed
for use without a shock-absorber and can be used as a
Rope Adjuster or on a work positioning lanyard/Flipline,
(In accordance with EN358).
Allows the Rocker
tm
to be ‘parked’ on the
rope at any position, for work positioning
or as a mid-line anchor.

The RED’s cams have a positively locking spring which
means that the device is self-parking rather than self-tailing.
This is important for Rope Access work techniques as they
require the back-up device to be positioned so as to reduce
fall factors to a minimum.
The Popper
tm
device is a breakaway release clip, which
provides a secondary attachment point for the tow cord.
When used during normal positioning activity, this secondary
attachment point allows the user to tow the device directly
downwards. In a panic situation the popper clip is designed
to release under load and mitigate against uncontrolled
towing of the device.

Stainless Steel Version Available
The RED
tm
makes use of ‘Rotational Braking’ which means
that the device rotates clockwise creating friction and
resistance, which then results in very effective automatic
braking in the event of a sudden pull on the cows-tail such
as might occur during a main line failure.
(Choice of towing positions,
to suit differing rope &
environmental conditions).

Stainless Steel side plates give improved
