Rollers and Edge Protection
Prices and Availability of All Items Are Subject to Change Without Notice


           

            Static kernmantle and dynamic kernmantle ropes are very strong and have excellent abrasion resistance; however, they will quickly abrade or even worse, be cut by sharp edges. A bare rope must never be run over an unprotected edge, or allowed to rub against any substance which is harder than nylon. Remember human lives may depend on the integrity of the rope. Abrasion and cuts destroy the rope’s integrity and makes a relatively safe product into an accident waiting to happen. To help protect your life and to save expensive ropes from damage, we recommend the use of rope pads, edge or roof rollers any time a rope is deployed. Rollers or pads must be placed so that the rope will be in contact with the device no matter what is going on with the rope below. The pad or roller must also be secured by tying it back with short lengths of cord or rope. This will not only help to keep the rope in place, it will prevent dropping the edge protection, a frustrating occurrence to say the least.

Rope Guard

Tough, multi-layer canvas guard wraps around rope to prevent abrasion from rub points. Rope Guards can be easily and quickly placed on the rope at any point. Four different lengths offer a solution to any rub point situation. Weight will vary, plan on 1 lb.(.5kg) each. Made in USA.

Rope Pads

A large 24”(61cm) by 18”(46cm) Rope Pad made of multiple layers of 18oz.(509g) heavy duty canvas duck, which is water resistant and mildew proof. All edges are tape bound for good looks and then double stitched for high strength and long life. Includes 1/2”(12.5mm) brass grommets in the corners. Grom­mets enable you to secure the pad when in use. Manufactured to strict standards to

guarantee you the highest attain­able quality at the best price. Rope Pads protect trees and vegetation when you tie off to them. Bare

ropes running around a tree can girdle, killing it within a short time. Use of our pads helps preserve nature’s wonderland. Rope Pads

are much less expensive than rollers, and they will work in many places that a roller can’t. We can custom manufacture Rope Pads to

your size require­ments. Please call or write for quotation. Standard Rope Pad weight 36oz.(1kg). Made in USA.

Roof Roller

Designed to be used where ropes need to be protected from abrasion over a 90 degree edge, such as the roof of a building. The Roof Roller will also accommodate two ropes or a fire hose. When used on a 90 degree edge, it can replace two edge rollers. The exclusive SMC stabilizing wings on the sides prevent this roller from tipping over. The frame is welded with a large base area for stability. There are four 3/4”(19mm) holes at the corners of the base and four 7/8”(22mm) diameter, round rigging holes in the vertical plates. Two additional rigging slots have been added, which are positioned midway between the two rollers in the vertical plates. There is a 1/8”(3mm) thick neoprene pad on the bottom of the base. The Roof Roller uses the same rollers, felt seals, oilite bushings and axle as the Edge Roller. Yellow urethane paint finish. Dimensions 10” x 9.875” x 5.875” Weight 5 lbs.(2.3kg). Made in USA.
