Mac-Pro Rope Protector (Sold as a Pair)
THE MAC-PRO IS A SIMPLE YET ROBUST ROPE PROTECTION DEVICE USED IN THE ROPE ACCESS INDUSTRY
Sold as apaid, the mac-pro has been developed, tested and made in Australia. Using a heavy duty nylon compound for protection against sharp edges, rope wear and high surface temperatures.
The mac-pro provides a smooth edge for a rope path, providing edge protection whilst threaded through the aperture of typical steel grid-mesh.
mac-pros can be used a range of applications including -
- Industrial Rope Access
- Commercial Rope Access
- Emergency Response
- Telecommunications Rigging
- Offshore Oil and Gas Platforms
- Resources Sector
- Refineries
- Power Stations
THE MAC-PRO FITS MOST INDUSTRIAL STEEL GRID MESH
They can fit one or two 11mm or 13mm industrial static kernmantle ropes, making feeding ropes through grid mesh and retrieving them a quick and simple exercise.
The protector can be secured to the grid mesh with the supplied cord to prevent it becoming a dropped object.
Maximum service temperature of 170˚C
Extremely high protection against UV degradation
High density nylon to prevent material crushing
High wear resistance facilitating lowering off personnel in emergency scenarios
1) Please note the mac-pro is not a friction modifier device and should not be used in extreme friction scenarios.
2) While the mac-pro is structurally sound enough to handle a 90 degree deviation, the grid mesh you are using might not be, ropes should be vertical before passing through the mac-pro when possible.
3) mac-pros are designed and tested for use with static kernmantle ropes only. The use of flexible steel wire ropes in conjunction with the mac-pro is not recommended and should not be undertaken.
