The SKC 8MM Cable Grab is designed to provide vertical fall protection to operative ascending /descending a ladder or structure. This version of the rope grab is for use with 8mm Steel Wire Rope Only. When used by itself, the SKC 8MM Cable Grab should be connected directly to the chest attachment of a harness (RGH2/RGH4) via a karabiner. This ensures that the operative is held close to the structure and in the event of a slip, the fall distance and loading on the top anchor is minimal. In working conditions it is usual to provide additional fall protection equipment to protect the user when detaching from the device at height (i.e. RGL Range). Normally some training is required to illustrate safe working practices.
