The RGA14 is designed to provide vertical/inclined fall protection to operatives ascending /descending a ladder or structure. It is also currently used in the
Rope Access
industry, as a protection device on the safety rope. The RGA14 is for use with
10.5 – 12.7mm Kernmantel Rope.
The RGA14 can be permanently attached to the rope or removable.
Although the uses for this lightweight rope grab are numerous, the grab is used in the aircraft industry, where the RGA14 is used for customized adjustable length fall arrest lanyards. When used for vertical progression, it is recommended that slight tension be placed on the bottom of the rope to aid movement. In working conditions it is usual to provide additional fall protection equipment to protect the user when detaching from the device at height (i.e. RGL Range).
