 Industrial Rope Grabs

MSE patented self-trailing Rope Grabs are designed to provide fall protection for workers ascending or descending a vertical lifeline and are intended to be used as part of a complete fall arrest system (such system usually include a lifeline, rope grab, lanyard, and OSHA approved full body harness). Our grabs can be easily attached, detached and repositioned at any point on the vertical lifeline and automatically lock in place in case of a fall. Applications for rope grabs include: window washing operations, protection of a worker on scaffolding, powered platforms, boatswain’s chair, ladder climbing, construction, general industry and etc.

    Features:
  • - Durable, light weight stainless steel
  • - Color ID for ease of identification and rope selection construction
  • - 2” built-in safety ring prevents snaphook roll out
  • - Energy absorbing in case of a fall

 Anti-Panic Rope Grabs

Rope Grabs provide fall protection for workers who are ascending or descending a vertical lifeline. If a fall occurs, the rope grab will automatically lock onto the safety line and limit free fall while absorbing much of the generated forces. Main problem of the “regular” rope grab is that in a panic situation during the fall, worker may grip the rope grab and hold the lever in the open position. The grab will not activate and will not stop the fall.
MSE Anti-Panic Rope Grab will arrest the fall even if worker is holding the lock lever in an open position.

    Features:
  • - Anti-Panic design compliant: IWCA I-14, 1-2001
  • - Use with MSE approved 7/16”, 1/2” or 5/8” dia. 3-Strand rope
  • - Auto-traveling operation
  • - Energy absorbing in case of a fall
  • - Attach or remove from any point on lifeline
  • - Durable,light weight stainless steel construction
  • - Designed and manufactured in USA
