What Is Rope Access?

Rope access is a technique for working at height that uses ropes and anchor points to achieve the desired work position. Rope access work is usually carried out while suspended in a safety harness, allowing the worker to ascend, descend and traverse a structure while working.

There are often times when you are required to work at height but a fixed, secure anchor point isn't readily available. Perhaps you are working in a residential property where it would be unprofessional to fix an anchor point to the wall, or perhaps you're working on an isolated, stand-alone structure with no external walls to attach to. Whatever scenario you find yourself in, choosing one of our rope access anchor systems will ensure you can work safely at all times.

What is a Rope Access Anchor System?

Rope access anchor systems are designed to support the weight of a person while they carry out tasks at height. They are usually comprised of incredibly heavy weights that are able to counterbalance the weight of the operator, and a sturdy attachment point that the operator can safely connect to. 

Rope anchor access systems are great because they can be adjusted to suit any worker, and they are completely mobile. Simply remove the counterbalancing weights, relocate the anchor point and stack the weights up again for a perfectly safe rope access anchor system in a brand new location!

Our Rope Access Anchor Systems:

DW100 Deadweight Anchor Trolley:

This deadweight trolley is a portable anchor device that can be used in almost every location. It is particularly useful when working behind handrails, balustrades and parapet walls. Some other benefits of this rope access anchor trolley are:

  • It can support up to 2 people at once
  • The trolley height can be adjusted easily
  • It comes with 10x 18kg weights
  • The trolley itself only weighs 28kg, making it easy to transport

 One of our happy customers said this: Over the moon with the DW100 Deadweight trolley, delivery was prompt, I was lucky enough to catch the sale so that was great! Fantastic service and great resolve!

Working at height can be very dangerous, and if there's one profession that guarantees a steady stream of high-up work, it's tree surgery.

We at SafetyLiftinGear.com consider ourselves specialists in the field of height safety, and sure enough, we sell a range of height safety products that are especially perfect for tree surgeons and the work they do.
