Description

Spare Part | Shock Absorber | For RopeGuide

The ZipAbsorber 1 protects the climber in case of falling from dangerous maximum impact forces – just like an airbag. These kind of impact forces can occur even with „short“ falls and they can cause severe injuries. In a standard test conducted during certification (100 kg dropped by 1 m) the ZipAbsorber reduces impact forces reliably to under 6 kN. Without the shock absorber impact forces would be almost double!

What’s so special: Compared to conventional shock absorbers the ZipAbsorber withstands permanently challenging work conditions without early opening. Within the RopeGuide it serves not only as a shock absorber but also as a retrieving device. According to ART philosophy this device is available as  spare part as well.
