CSS Worksafe supplies the Climbing Technologies SKR2 11mm Rope Grab / Backup Device for professional height-safety, access or workplace safety applications.

Description. The SKR2 11mm rope grab is designed to provide vertical/inclined fall protection to operatives ascending / descending a ladder or structure. This version of the rope grab is for use with 11mm Kernmantle Rope Only. When used by itself, the SKR2 should be connected directly to the chest attachment of a harness via a karabiner. This ensures that the operative is held close to the structure and in the event of a slip, the fall distance and loading on the top anchor is minimal.

This unit is successfully used in the field for protection on portable ladders. In use it is recommended that slight tension is placed on the rope to aid movement, as with all highly flexible systems. In working conditions it is usual to provide additional fall protection equipment to protect the user when detaching from the device at height.
