The RGK 6 is a lightweight version of the RGK 5. This device can be fitted to fall arrest lanyards, but is normally seen connected to ropes and used with rope grab systems to provide vertical protection. Used throughout the industry as part of a protection system on portable ladders.

The RGR1 is portable, lightweight and is easy to erect on site. It has adjustable lower and middle legs at 80mm intervals to adapt and adjust to uneven surfaces and varying ground conditions. There are 2 additional anchorage points (SWL 200kg each) on the underside of the head for additional primary/secondary systems. This unit has many applications such as confined access, entry, egress, rescue, retrieval, manholes, silos & trenches, etc.

The RGB1 is a work positioning/restraint belt, (see the info sheet on restraint vs. fall arrest). This belt is fitted with two side mounted dee rings for ease of attachment and the back pad provides some lumber support.The RGB1 is normally used in conjunction with an RGL5 restraint lanyard, or a rope and grab system. Traditionally this item has been used by loading crews at docks, on ships, and container handling areas. However it has more recently been used to access and perform roof maintenance, where the restraint system prevents the user from stepping over an exposed edge and there is no other fall hazard.

This heavyweight karabiner is primarily fitted to the ends of fall arrest lanyards, due to its high MBS.The twistlock closure makes this karabiner very safe to use, as it locks automatically when it is clipped into an anchorage point.

The RGK 9 is an aluminium captive eye karabiner normally fitted to fall arrest lanyards or restraint belts.The screwgate closure on this device means that the user must manually lock the RGK9 after fitting.

The RGK 16 is a steel, captive eye karabiner. This item is predominantly used as a connector on fall arrest lanyards and webbing fall arrest blocks.

The RGP2 is a pole strap/ work-positioning device, designed to be clipped to the side dees of a harness or work-positioning belt. The adjuster is easy to use ¿one handed¿ either under tension or not. The 45mm webbing, is protected by a wide pad in the work area, to offer some protection against abrasion and extend the life of the product. The 1.4mtr length of the RGP2 allows the user enough freedom of movement, without being exposed to a fall. The RGP2 is primarily used for pole climbing, but can also be pressed into service for mast climbing, maintenance and general work on open steel structures. When pole climbing, additional equipment should be used to prevent falls whilst moving. When the RGP2 is attached, the operative can then use both hands to perform tasks whilst in a safe and comfortable position. This device is normally used in conjunction with an RGH3 or RGH4, which also allows for the attachment of additional fall arrest equipment.

The RGB2 is essentially an RGB1 with alternative buckle and gear loops fitted, and is a work positioning/restraint belt (see the info sheet on restraint vs. fall arrest). This belt is fitted with two side mounted dee rings for ease of attachment and the back pad provides some lumber support and comfort, especially when tools are hung from the belt loops. As with the RGB1, the RGB2 is normally used in conjunction with an RGL5 restraint lanyard, or a rope and grab system. The uses for this restraint belt are similar to the RGB1 (see RGB1 data sheet), however to prevent the user from dropping tools from height, all tools can be secured to the gear loops by a cord lanyard and also clipped to the belt when not in use. It is important that a client understands the difference between fall arrest and restraint before using this item.

Very popular on the European mainland, the RGL6 is supplied in two lengths measured at full expansion: 1.3 Mtr/1.8 Mtr.A general-purpose lanyard used when the operative is working from a static position connected to a fixed anchor point. If movement between anchorages is required, a twin leg lanyard should be used (RGL3 or RGL9) to provide constant protection.The elastication in the lanyard reduces the amount of hanging slack in the lanyard, which can be helpful when working in tight spaces to help reduce trip hazards and entanglement.

With the introduction of elasticated webbing on the leg & lower chest straps, the RGH9 harness provides additional comfort and support during use. Based on the RGH2, this RGH9 is also fitted with a rear dee and a chest mounted front dee. This harness can be used similar to the RGH1 (see data sheet), but has the added feature of the front dee ring to extend the working capability of the harness. Utilizing the front dee, the harness can be fitted with a rope and grab system (RGA12) for vertical fall protection when an operative is making repeated ascents or similarly, when restraint/work-positioning is needed in either the vertical or horizontal plane. A variety of other devices can be used with the front dee ring, but please check for suitability.In addition to the elasticated feature, the harness is fully adjustable and fitted with rip stitch indicators. The ring connection between the chest & the shoulder straps, ensure no stress loading when force is applied to the front dee ring.
