Candidates undergoing an Irata assessment's today at Talon, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen
Is this at last an effective replacement for the STOP? ( above image: the Stop is Blue, the new "Rig" is black)In industrial rope access we have been using the Stop for over twenty years and it's been a very reliable piece of equipment. However we have been looking for a replacement and I think this is it. Like the Stop it is also designed by Petzl, the" Rig" is a self braking descender ( Certified to EN 12841: 2006: Type C and also NFPA 1983 (2006 ED) and is a type C rope adjuster used to descend the work rope. The "Rig" is a braking device for on the rope and allows the user to manually control the speed of descent and to stop anywhere along the rope by releasing the handle.
It's a great user friendly device and exactly what we now require in Industrial Rope Access.. remember, you read about it here first!

Smaller, lighter and easier to use than the bulky ID!
Good blog, btw, i added a link on my website (www.granvertical.com/blogs-verticaleros).
This is a great rope access device kit. This is very useful in industrial use, High Access Jobs.
Rope access technicians tend to bring other skills to their work. These include electrical qualifications, engineering and technical experience. Technicians are therefore invaluable in installing and maintaining equipment such as satellite dishes, microwave antennae and radio masts.Working At Heights at netcomspecialistaccess.co.uk
