The RGA3 is a robust fall arrest block, and the ¿big brother¿ of the RGA2. With its longer working length and heavier construction, the RGA3 has been used successfully by the offshore industry for years. The carrying handle of the RGA 3 is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner. The RGA3 is suitable for use in most industries to provide protection in work areas with overhead anchorage points.The RGA3 has a working length of: 15 metres

The RGA4 is a three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability. This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGA4 can raise the operative to safe area, if the area below is unsuitable. The RGA4 can also be fitted to the RGR1 tripod for use in the confined access industry, as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.

The RGA 10R is supplied in three standard lengths: 8 Mtr / 16 Mtr / 32 MtR. However custom lengths can be made up to suit the client¿s application. The RGA10R is used in conjunction with the rope grab to provide vertical, or near vertical fall protection. The RGA10R is fitted with a single spliced eye and fitted with a nylon thimble.The hawser laid construction of the nylon rope, provides good shock absorption qualities and offers some resistance to alkali, oils and organic solvents.

The RGA 16E is supplied in three standard lengths: 10 Mtr / 20 Mtr / 30 Mtr. However custom lengths can be made up to suit the client¿s application. The RGA16E is used in conjunction with the rope grab to provide vertical, or near vertical fall protection. The RGA16E is fitted with a spliced eye on both ends and is fitted with nylon thimbles. This makes the rope reversible and will extend the usage of the product.The hawser laid construction of the nylon rope, provides good shock absorption qualities and offers some resistance to alkali, oils and organic solvents.

The RGA10 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 16mm Hawser Laid Rope Only. This unit comes standard with a shock pack fitted and cannot be removed, however due to the ¿gate opening¿ method of attachment, the RGA10 offers positive closure and good camming action. The locking cam on this device is toothed and arrests well on the hawser laid rope. When used in conjunction with the RGA10R hawser laid rope, the RGA10 provides excellent protection as a vertical fall protection system, normally used in heavy industrial areas where fouling and debris will be transferred to the rope. The RGA10 is fitted with a shock pack to minimize loading transferred to the anchors. 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 (i.e. RGL Range).

The RGA1 is a retractable mini web block ideal for personal issue to operatives working at height. The unit is designed to be connected, and worn directly on a fall arrest harness. The RGA1 has an almost instant ¿lock off¿ in the event of a fall, and recoils into the drum when slack is introduced into the lanyard. The reduced trip hazard and compact design make this unit ideal for tight work and tasks where a shorter arc of mobility is required. The RGA1 can also be fitted to most horizontal lifelines, but always check with the manufacturer prior to fitting.

The RGA5 is a compact, robust yet lightweight fall arrest block. This unit does not have an integral handle, but is fitted with an alloy swivel eye for connection to an anchorage via a karabiner. Due to its low weight, this device is ideal for use with certain horizontal lifelines. As a general-purpose fall arrest block, the RGA5 has proved it¿s worth in the industry. Fitted with webbing instead of wire, this block is suited for work in and around fragile components i.e.; aircraft industry and glass lined vessels.

The SKC 8MM Cable Grab is designed to provide vertical fall protection to operative ascending /descending a ladder or structure. This version of the rope grab is for use with 8mm Steel Wire Rope Only. When used by itself, the SKC 8MM Cable Grab should be connected directly to the chest attachment of a harness (RGH2/RGH4) 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. 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). Normally some training is required to illustrate safe working practices.

The RGA2 is a multi purpose fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working activity. The carrying handle is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner. The RGA2 is used throughout the industry to provide semi permanent protection in work areas, and is also used on lorry sheeting gantries in conjunction with a beam trolley (RGBT 1). For self-connecting to the block, it is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop (RGL4) in order to ease the task.

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 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, our largest client is currently 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).
