Kong Lift

The Kong Lift rope clamp is a well designed and very functional handled ascender. 

 

It is the design and manufacture of the cam that sets it apart from a lot of other ascenders; the holes in the cam and side plate means that the cam self clean effectively and this helps improve performance on icy or dirty ropes. 

 

In addition the cam is manufactured using a very specific chemical and thermal process that gives the cam a much higher surface hardness and increased wear resistance.

 

It is also worth noting that the teeth are conical rather than barbs - so release is far easier, especially if the ascender is pushed up against a knot or anchor point.

 

Designed to work with rope diameters of 8-13mm, and features a comfortable and ergonomic handle that allows a lot of power to be applied. 

 

The safety catch is well recessed into the body and so won't be released accidently when working in confined areas, but is easy to release with the thumb when needed.

 

The bottom of the ascender has a hole that will take a single carabiner and there is a second hole that will take a PPE maillon. The top of the ascender has a carabiner hole that stops the rope from accidentally disengaging from the rope. 

 

Available in both left and right handed versions.
