Rope Access

At Namah, we produce various kind of high quality and certified ropes to meet every demand Find below the break down of our offerings in Rope access work

Semi-Static Ropes (Low-Stretch Ropes)

Semi-static ropes are the primary choice for rope access because they provide minimal stretch, which is crucial for safe and efficient work positioning, descending, ascending, and anchoring.

1. Namah Indus 10.5mm:

   A popular semi-static rope used in rope access for its balance between durability and manageability. It offers low stretch and high abrasion resistance. It’s often used in scenarios requiring fixed lines and anchoring.

2. Namah Indus 11mm:

   Widely used in rope access work due to its robust construction. It provides excellent resistance to abrasion and good control for work This rope is favored for rope access and rescue operations. Its low stretch and high strength make it ideal for situations where precise movements and stability are required.

Dynamic Ropes

Dynamic ropes are less commonly used in rope access because they are designed to stretch, absorbing the impact of falls, which is typically not desirable in rope access situations. However, they may be used in specific scenarios where fall protection is a concern, such as in rescue operations or when working in areas where falls are a higher risk.

1. Namah Lynx 9.5mm: Sometimes used in rope access when there’s a need for a dynamic element in the system, particularly in environments where fall potential is higher. A dynamic rope that might be employed in rescue operations within a rope access context due to its ability to absorb impact forces.

Rope Access Standards

• EN 1891 (Type A): Most semi-static ropes used in rope access comply with this standard, which specifies the requirements for low-stretch ropes used for safety lines in rope access.
• EN 892: This standard is for dynamic ropes, which are generally used in sports climbing but can be applied in specific rope access scenarios where fall protection is necessary.

Conclusion

Semi-static ropes are the go-to choice for rope access due to their low stretch and durability, which are essential for maintaining safety and stability in work positioning. Dynamic ropes are used more selectively, often in rescue operations or situations where there’s a significant risk of falling, and their ability to absorb impact becomes necessary.
