The BACK-UP is a fall arrester for a flexible anchor line developed for work at height fall protection systems. Provides an alternative to a second person on deck when climbing your mast solo.
Employing a toothless mechanism to reduce possible damage to the rope, this device is one of the least aggressive on the market for textile ropes. This is a major advantage over a traditional ascender when used on sail halyards. It features a selector lever that allows you to choose between two modes of use:
free sliding along the rope in both directions
upward sliding only, which allows the user to reduce the fall factor.
It may also be used as an ascender or as a rope clamp for rescue systems. Supplied with an OVALONE CARBON ANSI connector, this version also complies with ANSI Z359.15.
