Gemtor Model #VF505 Lifeline Rope Grab Climbing Gear
Automatic energy absorbing rope grab follows a worker up and down a 5/8"- 3/4" diameter vertical synthetic lifeline. The unit's controlled, shock-absorbing action eliminates the need for an energy absorbing lanyard. The patented design allows the rope grab to be attached, detached and positioned at any point on the vertical lifeline. Weighs 1 1/2 lbs. and is made of stainless steel. New York State Approval # 9502
Small, lightweight rope-grabbing devices ride a vertical lifeline and automatically lock in place if a fall occurs.
Gemtor VF505 Series Rope Grabs for synthetic rope lifelines qualify as OSHA-compliant energy absorbing components of a fall arrest system. When using the Model # VW655 vertical rope grab for wire rope lifelines, an energy absorbing lanyard must be used. When using any rope grab, freefall distance must never exceed 6'. The best way to ensure a freefall of 6' or less is to use a 2' or 3' long lanyard.
