All PeakWorks’ rope grabs have been designed and engineered to meet or exceed all applicable
standards and Ministry of Labour requirements.
ROPE GRAB CAPACITY
PeakWorks rope grabs are designed for use by persons with a combined weight (clothing, tools, etc.)
of no more than 300 lbs. Make sure all of the components in your system are rated to a capacity appro-
priate to your application.
ROPE GRAB CLASSIFICATION
The RG-11010 , RG-11000 & RG-21000 Rope Grabs are automatic panic type rope grabs
class ADP (Automatic-Dorsal-Panic) and are designed to be part of a personal fall arrest system.
The rope grab is designed to follow the worker automatically. In the event of a fall, the rope grab
will lock onto the rope and arrest the fall. This rope grab is designed with a panic feature. In the
event the worker has fallen and “grabs” onto the eye of the rope grab, the secondary
mechanism will engage and the worker’s fall will be arrested.
LABELS
This rope grab has product labels and fall indicator labels.

ANCHORAGE STRENGTH
Each Fall Arrestor must be connected to a vertical lifeline that is anchored to a suitable structure
capable of resisting a static load of 3,600 lbs (16 kN) if certified, or 5,000 lbs (22.2 kN) if not certified.
If more than one vertical lifeline is anchored to the structure, the structure must be capable of resisting
static loads equal to the above values multiplied by the number of vertical lifelines attached to it.
Every anchorage point must be selected with care. The anchorage point
location, in combination with the lanyard, should never permit a free fall of more
than 6 ft. (1.8 m). Always check for obstructions below the work area to make
sure that the potential fall path is clear. When selecting an anchorage point,
take into consideration that a deceleration device, such as a shock absorber, can
elongate up to 42 in. (1.1 m) and the deceleration of the rope grab along the
lifeline could be up to 39 in. (1 m).
Always work directly under the anchorage point to avoid a swing fall injury.
