Ropes Edge Vortex Grating Edge Management System

The Vortex Edge Management System is designed for use in the varying sizes & depths of steel & composite walkway grating & grid-mesh found on industrial & commercial work sites.

The Vortex has been designed for use with static & dynamic nylon rope as a physical barrier to assist in the protection of the life-supporting rope system from coming into contact with the sharp edges of steel & composite grating during normal use.

In the relatively high-risk environment of industrial rope access & rope rescue, all ropes shall be rigged in such a way so as to avoid contact with potential hot, sharp or abrasive surfaces that threaten the integrity of the life-supporting rope.

Each Box Comes with 2 Vortex Systems

Description

  • The Vortex Sharp Edge Management System is designed for use in varying sizes & depths of steel “Walkway Grating” & composite “Grid-Mesh” found on industrial & commercial work sites around the world.
  • The Vortex has been designed for use with nylon 7 natural fibre Ropes as a physical barrier to assist in the protection of life-supporting rope systems from coming into contact with the sharp edges of steel & composite walkway grating during normal use.
  • In industrial rope access, all ropes shall be rigged in such a way so as to avoid contact with potential hot, sharp or abrasive surfaces that threaten the integrity of the life-supporting rope access system.
  • The safest & most efficient way to rig nylon rope and wire slings around Kick-Plate and the structural steel.
  • The Vortex is light to carry on your harness, thus limiting the effects of fatigue in the physically demanding work arenas of rope access and rescue.
  • The Vortex and all of its parts shall never be considered or used as an anchoring device.
  • Only add loads of 150kG or less to ropes rigged through the Vortex. Be sure to rest The Vortex against the `channel` or ` bar` in the direction of the pull of the anchors and always inspect the grating’s suitability for the rigging application.
