In detail

The ProPad+ is a heavy duty rope protector that is suited to the demands of the outdoor activity industry. Thick natural fibre matting protects ropes against sharp edges typically found at the top of crags, railway bridges, and other sites suitable for abseiling and top-roping. A replaceable wear pad increases the ProPad+’s longevity, and helps it withstand the heavy use of large group sessions.

The ProPad+ can be installed on-rope, or attached to the edge itself for increased predictability and protection.

Features

ProPad+

The ProPad+ is designed for daily use, especially
those operations that require ropes to be lowered and
pulled up repeatedly. The replaceable ProPad+ Wear
Sheet is secured with 40mm Velcro strips. Four layers
of heavy-duty, proofed, natural fibre canvas and a
15mm thick inner pad of natural fibre laminated with a
flexible, latex membrane. This multi-layer pad protects
ropes and increases the edge radius ensuring smooth
rope movement. In addition it protects building fascia,
cladding and paint coatings from damage. A total of 9
large connection eyes provide many securing options.
The 40mm Velcro closure allows the side flaps to be
secured. When closed in this manner, the connection
eyes align to allow clipping through three holes
simultaneously. The replaceable ProPad+ Wear Sheet
also makes the ProPad+ ideal for training centres or
situations that envisage heavy use.

Use

The ProPad+ can be used open or closed depending on application and the stability of the loaded ropes. Position the ProPad+ over a hazardous area and secure to avoid movement or loss. Ensure all hazards are protected. Lower ropes over the padded section. Check the position and check that the method of securing will maintain effectiveness throughout all activities.
