Our Stock #2100 Rope Control /
Stopping Handles / *ROPE~GRABS* ~ are Specially
Designed Extruded ... Aircraft Aluminum Handled
Ascenders. Measures 8.25" by 4.25" & Weigh
Just 10
Ounces.
The Handle is attached to the
free~side rope ... and the System *99* Operator ...
and is used as a rope~grip for lifting the load
suspended within the *99* System ... and as a
‘Tie~Off’ handle ... for holding the load
stationary.
The Handle also provides the safety
feature of not allowing accidental descent of the
load in case the free~side rope should be
inadvertently released.
The Rope Control / Stopping Handle
has a spring~loaded “Rope~Release~Cam~Lever” ...
featuring rounded protruding teeth which provide a
positive grip on the free~side rope. Manual opening
of the rope release cam lever allows the rope to
pass through the rope travel guide housing slot
groove. Once the rope release cam lever is released
the handle grabs the free~side rope and prevents
additional descent.
As far as I know Our
Handles
are the *ONLY* ones Designed so
they can
NØT
be locked open.
This is*Critical* if you should end
up with less than *Completely* trained operators ... a
*Locked~Open* handle = the
strong possibility that the handle could come off the rope.
NOT GOOD! Even~though, (with our
90% brake), it is quite easy to grab the Free~Side rope to
halt descent ... We believe in a Belt~And~Suspenders in
situations like this.

*WARNING* *WARNING*
The handle securing rope / or lanyard, [as pictured above],
is attached to the handle on one end, and the System
operator's belt ... harness ... or bosun’s chair on the
other end ... via karabiner snap hooks ... or screw links.
Length is approx. four feet, and we always
make them up in a contrasting color to your system's rope
color ~ for quick identification.
|
*Halving* the
handle securing rope, as below, keeps the handle
in close proximity to the Skye Chair / or
harnessed worker, and within easy reach. And as
the occupant of the Chair is limited to about
two feet of upward handle slide reach when doing
self-lifting this is a more convenient way of
tying off the handle. |
|
To *halve* the handle securing
rope when using any of our Skye Chairs [or] any
of our harnesses:
Remove the karabiner from the non-handle end
of the four (4) foot handle securing rope
thimbled eye. Pass this thimbled eye through one
of the *D* rings that are found on either side
of the Chair seat / or pass it through one of
the secured harness straps. Next ~ re-install
the karabiner and attach the karabiner &
securing line to the second hole in the bottom
of the handle.
When ascending / & once you reach the spot
where you wish to stop & work / slide the handle
up the free-side rope the shortened distance
until the handle securing rope is taught. At
this point you are tied off so you can let go of
the handle and have both hands free for your
work. |

ARBORISTS AND RAPPELLERS
