Description

Fall protection is more than wearing the right harness and attaching a lifeline to a roof anchor. There are so many other accessories that can be paired with your lifeline that can make your job truly faster, safer, and easier. 

For instance, the ASCENSION handled rope clamp is designed for rope ascents.

What's that mean exactly? 

If you're familiar with rock climbing it's kind of like having your own handheld belay.

Have no clue what that means?

Picture this . . . you're at the base of a steep-pitched roof holding on to your lifeline and you look up to the ridge praying you can make it there without slipping half way up. In enters the ASCENSION handled rope clamp. You grab the tail of your lifeline with one hand, slide the clamp on the length of the rope with your other, lean back allowing the lifeline to hold your weight, slide the clamp upward toward the roofline and simultaneously pull yourself up. Just like that, you are ascending to the top of the roof with no effort at all.

It's really the closest thing to becoming Spiderman. So in our opinion, why wouldn't you want one?

FEATURES:

  • Ergonomic molded handle allows a comfortable yet powerful grip
  • Effortless pull with just one hand, or use two for the ultimate pull
  • Wide handle opening means it's easy to grip, even with gloves
  • Safety catch integrated into the body of clamp allows for quick and easy installation/removal with one hand
  • Toothed camp with a self-cleaning slot means it won't get tripped up by a frozen or dirty rope
  • Wide, supportive base to keep your hand from slipping
  • Lower hole on clamp allows for the attachment of a carabiner
  • Clamp is rated for and can accommodate use of a lanyard and foot loop for those looking for a fully vertical climb (maybe not necessary for a solar installer, but still a pretty sweet feature!)
